How much would it cost to run a electric space heater I have?
Jan 14, 2007 by Chuck
The electricity is .22 cents a KWH and the heater is an electric heater 1500 watts. How much per hour to run that heater?
Hmmm could be $0.33 per hour, provided it is on for the entire hour you measure...
Is it cheaper to heat one room with an electric space heater or the whole house with central gas furnace?
Dec 08, 2006 by NT
I have a 3 bedroom house with a modern central heat/ac. The central heat is a new 3 burner/ton gas furnace by Lennox. I live in an area where daytimes are comfortable but evenings are cold and I have been using an electric space heater to keep the room I sleep in warm at night. I know there are many variables, but assuming everything is average (average size home, bed room, insulation, etc) would it be cheaper to heat only one room with the more expensive electricity or the entire house with the cheaper natural gas?
Heat the one room.
