How much does it cost to operate this heater?|178978

Hi. Please help.

I use a 1200watts heater for 16hours per day. On average, how much($) would you be charged for this per month (in your state)?

If possible, indicate the cost of 1kwh of electricity and how u derived your answer.

Thanx in advance.

My answer is $57.60.

1200 watts is 1.2 kw. 1.2 kw X 16 hrs = 19.2 kwh every day.

19.2 kwh X 30 days in a month = 576 kwh every month

576 kwh x 10 cents/kwh = $57.60

I know the cost of electricity here in Pennsylvania is higher than in other states, so you may have to adjust accordingly.
