Note: These annual heating costs are based on U.S. Government standard tests and on a national average cost of electricity of 9.06/KWH. Your cost will vary depending on your local energy rate and how you use the product. A method for estimating your cost of operation is given [direct user to location].

The methodology referred to in the note is provided below. This information shall be included at least once in all compendiums of fact sheets. If separate fact sheets are prepared for individual distribution to consumers, this methodology must be provided on or with the unbound fact sheets.

How To Estimate Your Heating Costs To estimate your heating cost, determine your cost of electricity in cents per kilowatt hour (KWH) from your electric bill, your listed average annual heating cost from the National Average Annual Heating Cost Table, and use that number in the following equation: (image) Example: If your electric rate is 12.62/KWH and the annual heating cost listed in the chart is $200: Your estimated cost = $200 13.6/9.06 Your estimated cost = $200 1.5 = $300 Your estimated cost = $300 (image) View or download PDF (image) View or download PDF Note: These annual heating costs are based on U.S. Government standard tests and on a national average cost of electricity of 9.06/KWH.
