Depends on your supplying company, what tariff you are on etc etc etc .. :)

I'm with nPower and pay 10.868 p/kwhr but there is also a standing charge which makes it hard to actually give the exact cost per kwhr

Thanks. I know it's hard to find a definitive answer.

We've just purchased a new dehumidifier which uses 425 watts.

Base around 5p an hour then at a guess   :(  with VAT and standing  charges I'd call it 7p an hour to be on the safe side :)

Mine is about 24p per KWh, but I'm on economy 7.

And you can't use that F, it's a rude letter.

I've just given my energy supplier a bell. We are currently with EDF.

Day rate 15.97p + VAT..........16.77p

Night rate 5.78p + VAT.......... 6.07p

Standing charge 18p a day + VAT 18.9p

Doesn't look good, does it. :-\

24p per KWh is taking the piss. :P

Well my quarterly bill is only £450, so I don't mind. But, then again, I'm not one of these tight-fisted rural types.

We have no gas, but have to pay for heating oil........roughly £50 for each 47 KG bottle. :-\

I've been running a small fan heater in a room that has been re - rendered and plastered, to keep it a bit warmer so it dried out quicker.  The property in question has a token meter and it has cost me about £6 a day!!  :o

Tidla. We went for a Ruby Dry  DH600.......which works off the "desiccant system".....whatever that means. :y

Thats one of the poorer systems (but cheaper and able to work to lower humidity levels).

They use a desiccant which absorbs water (e.g. silica gel), this then needs to be dried out and hence they are often less efficient (as they have to heat the desiccant to remove the water).

Desiccant is often on a belt like assembly to give the continuous cycle of operation.

.....but apparently they work better at lower temperatures, Mark.
