I know the Combustion blower is on all the time and the convection fan will kick on at times. Anybody notice a big jump in their electric bill running one of these? Thanks!

Without knowing the current draw, probably 1-5 amps? You electric would go up accordingly. I think running both my stoves, with all the blowers, etc.. goes up about $1/day or less.

When you stop using Air conditioning, or window fans, and start the boiler/furnace my electric bill drops..
