The cost of running your electric stove or fire will depend on the model and whether you have the flame effect running without heat, on low heat or high heat. For example, a Gazco Vogue Midi Electric uses and produces 0.75kw on low and 1.5kw on high. Therefore, it will cost you 1.5 units of electric per hour on high (1unit = 1kw, please note this doesn’t include any proportion of your daily standing charge). How much this cost depends on your specific tariff and unit charge rate. The visuals without heat (flame effect only) cost will vary between 1p-7p per hour depending on the specific model.
