oil filled radiators heater?

not sure if this question goes here but i was wondering what the oil filled radiator heaters hooked to a johnson control do to your electric bill some info would be great thanks

It depends on the temp/size of the room you are trying to heat. We heat 2-3 rooms with oil filler space heaters and it cost about $500 for electric. (That includes standard household electric use too.)

When we hooked up another room in our basement for breeding it was a cold room and it raised our electric bill $120 a month for a heater that ran at all times. We used it for a month then switched to a upstairs room and it is a lot cheaper now.

It really depends on what your electric company charges and the room itself.

the room right now stays right around 70 degrees but would like to bump it to 80 or so my hole house electric bill a month is only around $70 a month the room demensions are somewhere around 15 x 15

for what its worth my room is 70 and i must say its really not a problem.
i dont have any heat in there other than my racks and i only have 50 snakes in a room close to the same size. i do have one of those heaters and i have used it when we didnt have any heat in the basement, but i dont typically use it.

If your only looking to raise the room 10* or so it should not be a problem to heat at all.

Run a fan in the room to circulate the heat and should barely touch your electric bill... that said $70 a month.... that must be nice!!!!

LoL i thought it was alot i know alot of people around me that there bills are only 40-50 a month

Mine runs about $120.. and when I need to run the oil-filled heater, it's about $150(normally)
Now I'm in florida, so I usually have to regulate the AC vents to the snake room, to keep the room DOWN to 80-85F.
