-- Look on the data plate on the fan, or in the little information booklet
that came with it. Find the number of watts it uses when it's running.
..... It may be a number with 'W' after it.
..... It may be a number with 'VA' after it.
..... If the only number you find is one with 'Amp' or 'A' after it, multiply it
by 120 in the USA, or by 240 outside of North America.
-- Multiply the number you have now by 0.012 . The result is the electric consumption
of the fan in 12 hours of running, in 'Kilowatt-hours' ... KWH . That's the number that
appears on both the electric meter and the monthly bill.
Reasonable numbers might be something in the range of 0.6 to 2 .
Convert the watts to kilowatts (divide watts by 1000), and multiply the result by the number of hours. Answer is in kWh, the unit used by the electrical companies for billing.
You have been running for 2.5 hours.
If your running time is presently 10 hours, then you can do that without difficulty for as long as you live.
The number of MWh (megawatt-hours) in a month will depend on the average power consumption during that month. To calculate, multiply the average power (in MW) by the number of hours in the month. For example, if the average power consumption is 10 MW and the month has 720 hours, the total energy usage would be 10 MW x 720 hours = 7,200 MWh.
75 minutes is 1.25 hours.
The electric companies charge a homeowner on the basis of a kilowatt hour.
Power consumption is measured in kilowatt hours.
First, divide watts by 1000 to get kilowatts: watts / 1000 = kW Then multiply kilowatts by the hours of usage to get kilowatt-hours kW * hours = kWh Finally, multiply kilowatt-hours by the cost per: kWh * (cost per kWh) = cost to operate
Kilowatt hours.
Usually in Kilowatts hours.
The duration of Who Is Running? is 1.75 hours.
The duration of In the Electric Mist is 1.95 hours.
The duration of Electric Moon is 1.71 hours.
The duration of The Electric Horseman is 2 hours.
The duration of Electric Circus is 1.5 hours.
The duration of Electric Shadows is 1.55 hours.
Electric bills can very depending on a number of factors including time of year and your current rates given to you by your electric company. Generally speaking it will cost you about $1.84 for every 8 hours you are running your fireplace. For more information go to www.answerbag.com/q_view/1864605
