I won't know how accurate the Elite power measurements are, until I get my bill after a month of heating with the Sanyo.

~ 11/26/09 4.86 kWh ($0.97) Average outdoors 44 degrees. Heat was setback to 66 between 12:00 & 19:00
(Had to go eat some turkey).

~ 11/27/09 6.69 kWh ($1.34) Average outdoors was 43 degrees and raining. Heat indoors was 70-72 70% of the day.
A month of days like this, would add about $40 to our bill.

~ 11/28/09 6.60 kWh ($1.32) Average outdoors was 45 degrees, with a little sun in the afternoon. Heat indoors was 70-72 during waking hours.

~ 11/29/09 6.49 kWh ($1.30) Average outdoors was 46 degrees, with some sun in AM and PM. Heat indoors was 70-72 during waking hours.

~ 11/30/09 6.55 kWh ($1.31) Average outdoors was 47 degrees, rainy day no sun to speak of. Did some high-heat testing. Got the main living area up to about 80

The Sanyo has been running almost non-stop for about 25 days now,
and it added about $33 to our bill. Had we used the oil heat,
just burning 2 gallons a day, at $2.60 a gallon..?.

Notes regarding November usage:
We just paid our bill. The Sanyo startup was on Nov, 5. The meter was read on Nov, 21.
That adds up to about 17 days of charges from the Sanyo.

Nov 09~ 632 kWh (51 deg ave) (Not much use of little space heaters and 17 days of Sanyo)
Oct 09~ 638 kWh (56 deg ave) (Some use of little space heaters).
Nov 08~ 859 kWh (49 deg ave) (little space heaters)!

So, November wasn't too bad. Used less than last month and a lot less than last year (on Nov).

Last December we used about 830 kWh. We were burning oil and kWh with the space heaters.
It will be interesting to see what we use this December.. I'm shooting for less than last year's 830 Kwh..
