The Hidden Costs of Diesel Block Heaters: 14 Hours a Day Adds Up!

🚗🔥 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
