What is the cost to use a 1,500 watt radiator oil filled heater 24 hours during winter months?
Question by Sharon V: What is the cost to use a 1,500 watt radiator oil filled heater 24 hours during winter months?
I have a Honeywell HZ 780 (model) Radiator Oil Filled Heater. It has 3 settings, 600, 900 and 1,500 watts and a thermostat. My electric company charges .0767 for the first 500 of KWH, I will be using this heater for 24 hours during the cold months. of course I can change the setting to accommidate the desired temp.
We have a heat pump and we are going broke using that darn thing. Would it be cheaper to use the oil filled heater. I don’t know all the particulars about the heat pump but the bill on it is terrible. The heat strips come on below 32 degrees and that’s what cost. Please help if you can. Thanks

I set mine at 600 in the evening an hour before I goto bed then turn it off in the morning. I’m guessing it costs me less than $ 20 a month with today’s prices.
