Utilities have different prices for electricity. You can likely find on your
power bill the price per kilowatt hour. If my math is correct, figure 1 1/2
times the KWH price, every hour. So, if you're paying 20 cents, figure 30
cents an hour to run the heater. That KWH nets you about 5,000 BTU.

A gas grill tank and infared heater could be a lot less expensive. Near me,
propane is about a buck a pound if you bring the tank in for refil. A pound
is 21,500 BTU if memory serves.

I have a 1500 watt fan forced heater that I use in my shop and garage
on occasion. I've often wonder how expensive these are to run.

I always picture money flying out of my window whenever I turn it on
for a few hours. Am I being rediculous?
