Space heater electricity usage

What is electricity consumption of average/common space heater?

Portable electric space heaters are used to heat a single room or a specific region of the house. The majority of typical convection space heaters require roughly 1500 watts to heat the air in a room.

To determine the energy usage of a space heater utilizing 1500 Watts for 5 hours per day at a cost of $0.10 per kWh, click calculate.

Kilowatts per dayhelp Here you will see a value for how much energy (in watts, kilowatts or megawatts) the device will consume per day if it is used for the time you specify. The formula "Hours used per day" × "Power use" is used.:

Watts Kilowatts Megawatts

Hours Used Per Day: Indicate the average number of hours per day that the device is used. If the daily power usage is less than one hour, enter the number as a decimal (for instance, 30 minutes a day equals 0.5).

Power Use (Watts): Type in the watts that represent the device's typical power use.

Price (kWh): Enter the price per kilowatt hour you pay typically; our calculators use a default value of 0.10 (10 cents). Check your power bill for the precise cost.

Although they are often less efficient than central furnace heating and can be expensive to run, space heaters can be more cost-effective if you only need to heat a single room in your home during the winter. If your home has adequate insulation and you can keep heat in a single room, you can reduce the temperature throughout and put up a space heater in the room you're in to save money. In comparison to conventional convection heaters, there are certain space heater types that are more energy-efficient and utilize less power (as low as 400–500 watts). If they are not used properly, space heaters can be deadly. Always read the space heater's handbook to ensure safe usage.
