Operating cost comparison — Heatstrip vs ottled gas heaters
In many instances, patio heaters powered by gas bottles are used as an outdoor heating source. The
below table shows the operational cost comparison between Heatstrip Max and a bottled gas out-
door heater. The hourly running costs are considerably less and with Heatstrip you never have to
worry about running out of gas; no refilling; no unattractive gas bottle to waste space.
* Costs based on an electricity rate of 20.0 cents/kWh. Calculations of hourly running cost for outdoor gas heater is based on
$2 .00 average to fill a 9kg gas bottle and average running time of 9 hours. $2 .00 / 9 hours = $2.77 per hour
** Yearly cost based on 180 hours usage.
