Start with watts and hours
A common plug-in space heater uses up to 1,500 watts. Multiply kW by hours and your Indiana electric rate to estimate cost.
Use your utility bill
Indiana customers can have different all-in rates depending on utility and fees. Your bill is usually better than a statewide average.
Safety matters
Follow manufacturer instructions, keep clearance around the heater, and avoid using extension cords or power strips unless the manufacturer specifically allows it.
