What a crock of bull. They say it will save you money; HA!
1.5 kw is 1500 watts and if you run it all the time it will be about $70
a month if your kilowatt rate is 6 cents. If it's 12 cents it's $140 a
month. They say you can save money by turning your thermostat down to 55
or 60 and use the heater in one room you normally spend all your time
in. Bob Villa backs it. What a crock. $800 to $1600 a year don't save
you crap. What a lier.

Simple job, assist the assistant of the physicist.

Liar that would be. Unless US spelling has deviated further than I
thought.

What you need to realise is that the amount of energy you use depends
on the temperature DIFFERENCE between inside your house and out.
So let's say for example the outside temp is 30 deg and the inside
temperature is 70 deg, the difference is 40deg,
So if you turn your thermostat down by 10 deg, you would save a
quarter of your fuel bill.
Because 10 deg is a quarter of 40 deg.
