Assuming it runs all night, and every night. It only works when it is snowing out. the point being, it is not in the thousands of dollar range per month, unless you have a very large system, or very high electric rates.

Mike, Don't you live in Florida? Or do Ihave the wrong Mike? You are correct though. 50 watts per square foot isn't too bad. Say you do a three foot wide, by 10 foot long section, that would be about 1.5KW for the 240 volt matts. So, 1.5KWH around here would cost about 30 cents an hour to run. That's nowhere near as bad as Iwould have expected. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
