🚗🔥 How Much Are Diesel Block Heaters Costing You? 🔥🚗 Many fleets rely on block heaters, but the costs add up fast! Here’s what 14 hours per day of use means for your bottom line.
Energy Consumption Per Block Heater
- Most diesel block heaters consume 1,000-1,500 watts (1-1.5 kW per hour).
- Average: 1.25 kW/hour per heater
Daily Energy Use (14 hours per day)
- 1.25 kW × 14 hours = 17.5 kWh per heater
Monthly Cost Per Heater (assuming $0.12 per kWh)
- 17.5 kWh × 30 days × $0.12/kWh = $63/month per heater
Annual Cost Per Heater
- $63 × 6 months (cold season) = $378 per heater
Fleet-Wide Costs (Example: 50 Vehicles)
- $378 × 50 = $18,900 per winter season
