Usually much smaller.
A normal freeze plug block heater is about fifty bucks.
A 1000 watt generator cannot run a 1500 watt ceramic heater without having problems.
It depends on the cost of electricity and the cost of natural gas in your area. Generally, using a 5000 BTU natural gas heater is cheaper than using a 1500 watt electric heater. Natural gas is typically more cost-effective for heating compared to electricity.
For a 1500 watt block heater, you would typically use a 15 amp fuse. This is calculated by dividing the watts (1500) by the voltage (120 in most cases) to get the amperage. In this case, 1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 amps, so a 15 amp fuse would be the appropriate size to accommodate any potential spikes in power usage.
The length of a 1500 watt baseboard heater can vary depending on the model and manufacturer. Typically, a 1500 watt baseboard heater can range from around 48 to 72 inches in length. It's best to check the specifications provided by the manufacturer for the specific heater you are interested in.
What it costs me to run a heater does not depend on how much you are charged, but a 1500 watt heater would use 1500 watt-hours or 1.5 kWh for every hour it is run. Run for 24 hours it would use 36 kWh, also known as 36 units.
Yes you can.
a 1500 w heater consumes 1.5 kW, and used for 1 hour it uses 1.5 kWh of energy, which costs 1.5 x 9.1 cents, that is 13.65 cents.
No, not all 1500 watt heaters are equal in BTU. The BTU output of a heater is dependent on factors like the efficiency of the heating element and design of the heater. While a 1500 watt heater will generate around 5118 BTUs, variations in design can lead to differences in heating performance.
To calculate the breaker size for a 1500-watt 120-volt heater, use the formula: Breaker size = Power (Watts) / Volts. In this case, 1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 amps. Therefore, you would need a 15-amp breaker for a 1500-watt 120-volt heater to allow for a safety margin.
By radiation.
Yes, a 1500 watt heater operating on 120 volts has an amperage of A = W/V. Amps = Watts/Volts = 1500/120 = 12.5 amps. It is not a recommended practice to do so.
1500 watts... Average electric bill is $0.98/ killowatt hour (1000 watts an hour) So it wil cost around $1.50- $2.00/ Hour to operate
