We have a finished basement where our primary tv is located. I’ve been researching for a better solution, but in the meantime we have been using a Dyson heater. My wife seems to think it adds about $20/month to our electric bill, but it sure helps and works well.
1.5 kWh for every hour in use.
Ex. 6 hours a day = 1.5 x 6 x 30 x $.12 = $32.40 per month.
Assumes you do it every day for six hours and 12¢ per kWh, adjust the equation to fit your situation.
It's free to adjust dampeners or close vents in unused rooms on upper floors.

It’s about 4 hours/day, Skins. One guest bedroom upstairs is about all the latitude we have upstairs. We do keep the vent closed in a downstairs bedroom.

Skins2881Sounds like your wife is good at guessing electrical expenses then. Because changing the 6 to a 4 makes it just over $20 per month assuming 12¢ per kWh.
