Electric heaters usualy have settings that consume 6-900 and 1500
watts, 1500 watts might cost me near $100 to run a month. Consider a
small heating pad a pharmacy has, they might take 30-60 watts. The
cats can sleep on it and stay plenty warm since the heat will rise
around them. Put a piece of foam rubber under the pad so you dont
loose the heat.
Hi,
What? 100.00 a month? Our power costs 7 cents/KWh.

Possible.
The rate here is 18 . At 1500 watts, that is 27 an hour. If you ran the
heater on high for 12 hours a day, the cost would be about $100 a month.

My guess, though, is that the enclosure can be heated with far less wattage
and less hours per day. In any case, the heating pad idea is probably a
better one.

But WHO is at .07 a KWH, answer, nobody in the USA.

Idaho is $.08/kWh.- Hide quoted text -

08, im sure thats before all the taxes and surcharges. divide kwh used
by the total cost

BTW, I looked at my bill today. $.08/kWh for 1800kWh, + $5 tax.

Strange. I don't see any mention of an included temperature probe - if
it's used indoors, how does it know what the outside air temperature
is? :-)



Hence, the part of my post you stripped: Might work, might not?
