Chiller Running Cost

Hi,

Would like to find out what is the estimated electricity cost per day of running a chiller to keep water at 25C for a 3'x1.5'x1.5' tank.

Any info appreciated.
Thanks

Wow bro, you keep it at 25 D.C so low, mine I keep it at 27 D.C. At 1st my bill was between $100 to $110, after using chiller, it was $180++ per month. But must also depend on the heat produce by lighting, powerheads etc.. Hmm forgot to add, when I start to use chiller, I start using Mh (250 watt) light also, so I think the chiller electricity cost around $50 per month.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.

Any other bros with experience or knowledge to share.

it really depends on your room temperature, type of chiller use, type of lights used etc... but u can estimate the running cost of your chiller with some simple calculations if u know the power consumption of your chiller and the number of hours it runs per day.

which brand use electricity the least?
