I picked up a small Huppert heat treat furnace. It draws 15 amps at 110 volts.
If I run it for one hour it will draw 1650 Watts (15 x 110). My electric bill rate is 9 cents a kilowatt hour. That leaves me with .09 x 1.650 which equals .1485 or about 15 cents an hour.
It seems like a furnace that can get up to 1800 degrees or so would cost a lot more to run. Did I misplace the decimal? Is it $1.50 an hour? I am pretty sure it is not $15 an hour or more.
