How much electricity does my mini-heater use?

Question

I have a small heater which has 2 heat settings: High (1500 watts) and Low (750 watts)
110V I live in Los anegeles and I wanna know how much does it use electric per Hour ?

I know but I mean how much by costing...
for example cent or dollar...

Answer 1

750 watts = 0.75 kW
1500 watts = 1.5 kW

Multiply these values by the hours of operation to determine the kilowatt-hours (kWh)

For example:

If you operate the heater on the low setting for six hours, the math is: 0.75 kW x 6 hours = 4.5 kWh

Look at your last electric bill for the cost per kWh. I suspect your rate is somewhere in range of 8¢ to 20¢ per kWh.

Assuming 10¢ per kWh, operating the heater on the low setting for six hours will cost 4.5 kWh x 10¢/kWh = 45¢

Answer 3

I am not sure exactly what the power rates in LA are, but I am going to assume 14 cents per kWh.

So 1500 watts is (1.5kW)x(1hour)x(14 cents) about 21 cents per hour while it is running. If it has no thermostat, this will be your usage on the 1500 watt setting, and your usage and therefore cost will be half of this on the 750 watt setting.

Assuming there is a thermostat, your heater will not be running 100% of the time, so your actual usage will be less depending on run time. If you time how much it is actually on over an hour you can use the ratio of minutes on divided by 60 minutes per hour multiplied by the 21 cents per hour to estimate actual cost per hour.

On the 750 watt setting, you will find that it will have to run about twice as long to heat the room up to where the thermostat will kick off, so there is typically no savings to having it on the lower wattage setting.

Answer 4

750 watts= 0.75 kW
1500 watts = 1.5kW
multiply these by the number of hours of operation and u will get the amount of electric energy consumed by the heater

Answer 5

It uses 1.5 kilowatt hours per hour on high, and 3/4 of a kilowatt hour on low.

Look at your electric bill and see how much you are charged per kilowatt hour. This will tell you how much it costs to run it.

Answer 6

If you have electrical appliances / equipments. look for its name plate rating (the wattage rating)

to calculate for your electricity consumption in kilowatthour (electric energy consumption). just convert the wattage rating to kilowatt and multiply it by the number of hours used.

example:

1500 watts * 1kw/1000watts = 1.5kw * no. of hours in months.

750watts * 1kw / 1000watts = .75kw * no of hours in months

Then see your monthly bill how much is the kilowatthour rate..then multiply your total kilowatthour with your per kilowatthour rate..
