Do electric heaters make your electric bill run alot higher than usual?
I have an electric heater that looks like a small wood stove. My electric bill went from $95/month to $138/mo. It said on the box that it was "economical" to use...It plugs into a regualr 110 outlet.

Yes, they will make your Electric bill increase. Especially if it does not have a thermostat that controls the temperature within your room. The heater you describe will run and run until you shut it off.
You can save some money if you buy one with a thermostat that will automatically shut off when the temp reaches say 72, it depends on how long and how much you plan to continue to use it.

Absolutely; they chew an enormous amount of power. The only sensible use for them is to do one room, on an occasional basis, which isn't getting enough heat from a central heating system. Electric heat costs about three times as much as any other kind.

Yes, but you really have to compare it to the cost of insulating your home, adding new windows, etc., as these are longer term fixes but can be too costly for many people.
