Depends on your electricity tariff.

Assume 8p per KW to be safe, just under 4p an hour I'd say.

Thanks Matt

My tariff is 7.36p per unit. Do you have a formulation to work out the costs please?

7.36/1000x400=2.944 unless of course you are running it during the economy 7 period

LOL!

you need to find out what you are paying per kW hour, not per unit.

Price to run heater per hour = 0.400 kW * (price per kW hour)
