How much does it cost to run a small ceramic heater monthly.?

Answer 1

If you know the wattage of it and how much your local electrical company charges for kilowatt hours you can figure it out.

For example a 60 watt bulb uses 60 watt hours of energy per hour and if the electric company charges 10 cents per kilowatt hour divide 60 by 1000 to get the kilowatts which is .06 times 10 cents equals .006 cents to run a 60 watt bulb for one hour.

If it's 1200 watts maximum it'll cost you 12 cents per hour if your electric company was to charge 10 cents per kilowatt hour.

The average price of electricity in the United States was 8.82 cents per kilowatt-hour.

Answer 2

I run mine on a low setting on and off throughout the day and during the night and my electric bill between my roommate and i is only about $30-50 every 40 days. we really avoid putting the central heating on though, unless we are freezing, like this week!

Answer 3

I can't tell you an exact figure but I do know that it is very expensive because any device that generates a lot of heat like the heat element in your heater draws a lot of current .

Answer 4

I bought a "energy saving" or so they called it one 2 years ago. After just a couple days use my bill had gone up by over 100$ they are not worth it to me.
