Pass x250 always on:how much more $ in electricity


Hi
I bought X250 2 weeks ago and keep it powered up since then with everyday listening sessions of3 to 4 hours.What should i expect to show up on my Con Edison electric bill?My average bill prior to that was $ 60 for 2 bedroom apt.
If it's $30-40 increase it's OK,but i am kinda scared.
Thanks.

Simply call your local electric company. They will know the answer to your question. At least this has been my experience when I wanted to find out how a certain class A amplifier would cost to run 247. No problem. they gave me an estimate in a manner of minutes, and it wasnt nearly as much as I imagined.
Just kidding, it will increase by less than $10. Buy it, plug it, play it, and forgedaboutit.

Besides, how big a strain can the electrical be if you can come up with the scratch of even a used Pass. The 250 usually goes for between 22-2500 used. And the occasional fool asks silly money for one.

Tim F is right. Call your power company.

In my case,I run my Pass 250 24/7, and I would almost swear my power bill went up $20.00 a month. Of course between my wife and daughter (hair dryers,clothes dryer, every light on in the damn house) they can blow my bill out monthly anyway, so who cares?
The cost per kWH should be available from your power utility company for you to calculate the estimated $$. You might find this rate in your regular billing from them as well.
For eg: if the cost per kilo Watt Hour (kWH) = 10 cents and if your Pass is turn on 24/7 and it is rated at say 250 watt, the formulae that I will use is;
250W/1000W x 10 cents (per kWH) x 24 hours per day x 365 days per year = $219.00 or approx. $18.25 per month.
This is close to what Danlib1 has estimated as well...
Good luck.
