How would it cost for for a small 1500 watt water heater?

Answer 1

Look on your power company's bill and find out how much you are being charged for a Kwh. It could be anywhere from .04 to maybe even .10 per Kwh. 1500 watts is = to 1.5 Kw. Say its .06/Kwh then 1.5 x .06 = .09 cents. At this price it will cost you .09 cents for every hour you operate the heater.

Answer 2

There is a Bosch model available for 200 - 300 dollars at many stores (Home Depot, Amazon, Ace). It is very small with only a six gallon tank. That's about a 2-minute shower. Make sure it is on its own circuit, and that it is grounded very carefully to specification.

Answer 3

To answer this question you need two more values to add to the equation. The time the heater is operated and the cost of a kWh in the area where you live. The formula is 1500 x time unit is on x cost of kWh in your area = cost of operation of the heater.

Answer 4

a 1500 watt heater uses a power of 1500 watts or 1.5 kilowatts, so each hour it is used will take 1.5 kilowatt-hours of energy. You have to multiply the power by the time to find the energy used, and energy is what you are billed for.

Kilowatt-hours are also called Units and you get billed on the units used. 1 Unit costs around $0.15 or £0.15, more or less, depending on where you are so that heater would cost about 22 cents/pence for each hour.

Answer 5

The cost for a small 1500 watt water heater can vary depending on the brand, model, and features. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $300 to $700 for a basic 1500 watt water heater. Additional installation costs should also be considered.

Answer 6

To answer this question the voltage must be stated and by the way a 1500 amp heater is a very big heater.
