It might. I’m using one as well but in view of the fact that I’m not paying the electric bill, I don’t have to worry.
A Kilowatt hr = 1000 watts for 1 hr.
I estimate at “low” it still consumes 1000 watts/hr so that will be 24 hrs x 1 = 24 KWH per day.
@ .15/KWH that would be $3.60/day or $108 for 30 days.
At full use would be $199.80/ month
What is the wattage on the low setting? On a low setting your wattage should be less, and either your manual or the unit should give you an thought of the wattage on the low setting.
Figure out your cost this way: Your average electricity cost per kwh (if you don’t know yours specifically, use 17 cents, which is the national average, a kwh = 1000 watts/hr), multiply that by your wattage, by the hours run.
In your case, if you are using the full 1850 watts for 10 hours per day, your cost is approximately $3.15/day (1.85 x .17 x 10). So, based on that, your electric bill increases about $95 – $100 a month.
An unvented propane gas fireplace will cost you a lot less and heat a larger area, as will an electric quartz heater which heats objects not air.
