Hey all,
I just bought two space heaters to cut my consumers bill to stop my furnace from coming on all the time.
1. Electric heater is radiant and has three settings 700w / 800w / 1500w
2. Is a stand up fan heater and has two setters 950w and 1500w
I just received my first consumers bill today and I need to know which is more economical…
THE BILL READS:
ELECTRIC: Rate 1000w billing factor .566667 – (1000w Elec Res Rate RS)
GAS: Rate 250 Billing Factor .566667 – (Gas Res Serv Rate A – With Sp Htg)
It seems like they are the same rate but how do I compare the gas measuring system to the electric measuring system for wattage?
Are the electric space heaters saving me money? Two will heat up the whole house 950 square foot pretty well.
Thanks
I used an energy calculator on my electric company website and found that natural gas is cheaper to heat with than electric but if your using liquid propane is about the same as electricity.
