Electric question

[MarlboroMan]

Is there a way to find out how much a AC110 or 200w heater would cost per month if it was on 24/7? Just curious to see how much $ this hobby really costs.

the heater would depend on your location and how cold it gets in your house/area

Im in souther california, probally the same rate as all socal (not sure). But it doesnt get that cold, I dont even use a heater unless its winter.

Find the wattage the AC 110 uses. Then figure that into Kw per hour X rate per kw per hour.
As fry said, the heater would depend on the amout of time it actually has to work

Well I guess im not curious about the heater anymore, maybe ill try to figure out that Kw per hour thing on the filter and lights.

I wish water & power would send you the bill with details on it, like a phonebill, showing you whats being used on a graph or something.

i don't see a heater being on 24/7 they as a rule go on and off
but it would be around 3 and 4 dollars a month


where i live a 150g in all cost me 8.50 a month all filters and heat my lights cost much more

ok my lights on my tank cost 3.50 a day to run ..thats on a 8hr run time

that would also vary on the type of lights you are running. finding cost can be very specific
