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
Well, honey, if you've got a 1500-watt appliance running for 10 minutes, that's gonna be 0.25 hours (10 minutes is 1/6 of an hour). So, you'd end up using 0.375 kilowatt hours (1500 watts * 0.25 hours = 375 watt hours = 0.375 kilowatt hours). Hope that clears things up for ya!
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.
Electricity is sold to consumers thru meters that record kilowatt hours: 1000 watts turned on for 1 hour= 1kwh or kilowatt hour. If cost for 1 kwh = $0.10, then 1500 watts for 1 hour would cost 15 cents. Varies by location of the country. Check your utility bill for exact cost per kwh.
1000 watts = 1 kilowatt 1500 watts = 1.5 kilowatts

First you have to get the power rating of the equipment. My iron says "1000 Watts" or "1000 W", something like that; but some electrical equipment only states volts and amperes. If it does, multiply the two to get Watts. Next, convert that to kilowatts - for example, 1000 watts is 1 kilowatts (i.e., you divide by 1000). Finally, every kilowatt of power means that per hour, 1 kilowatt-hour is used. Since the electrical company charges you by the kilowatt-hour, that is quite appropriate as a final solution. To convert that to Dollars, Euros, or whatever, look at a bill from the electrical company, and figure out how much they charge you for every kWh (divide the total of the bill by the number of kWh used).
It is about 5.5 hours.It is about 5.5 hours.
Flat rate book time is around 5 hours.
A ceramic heater uses the same amount as a regular heater. Most heater use 1500 watts so in one hour a 1500 watt home heater will use 12.5 amp hours.
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.
