They dont really draw all that much power and most have a dual setting of 1,000 or 2,000 watts.

But yea leaving one on day/night is going to rack up a bill.

Here we have been cutting off the heat pump once the temprature reaches the freezing point as it is pointless to run in below that.

So we try to warm the house up as much as we can during the day and try to ride out the night. Though it is quite chilly in the morning it was about 45F inside my house yesterday morning.
