After surfing tirelessly for some performance info I found one guy that runs his for about $6 a day (although I don't know what he pays per kw or the outside temp). While that seems cheap for 1,000 sq ft my house has multiple floors that just wouldn't get warm enough from a first floor heater and my house is roughly 2000 sq feet. But even assuming that one unit could heat my home, the $6 a day is more than it costs to run the gas fired forced air furnace.
