Gas Fan Heater Cost & CO2
Estimate the gas cost and CO2 emissions of a gas fan heater from its consumption and running time. Works with city gas and LPG, and can convert from heating output (kW).

| Item | Per day | Period total |
|---|---|---|
| Gas consumption | 2 m³ | 60 m³ |
| Gas cost | $320.00 | $9,600.00 |
| CO2 emissions | 4.46 kg | 133.8 kg |
Estimated at about 0.4 m³/h gas use and a CO2 factor of 2.23 kg-CO2/m³
How it works
- Gas cost is estimated as 'gas consumption (m³/h) × hours per day × days used × gas unit price (per m³)', and CO2 emissions as 'gas used (m³) × CO2 emission factor'.
- Representative CO2 emission factors are used: about 2.23 kg-CO2/m³ for city gas and about 6.0 kg-CO2/m³ for LPG (propane). Actual factors vary by gas supplier and composition.
- When heating output (kW) is entered, consumption is converted with 'm³/h = kW × 3.6 ÷ heating value' using representative heating values (city gas 13A about 45 MJ/m³, LPG about 100 MJ/m³).
- Gas consumption and heating output can be found in the product spec sheet. Entering the per-unit gas rate from your bill improves accuracy.
- Gas prices, unit rates, and emission factors vary widely by country and region, so enter your local values for a more realistic estimate.
- Results assume continuous operation at a fixed output. In practice, automatic control adjusts consumption based on room temperature, so treat the figures as a rough guide.
- All figures are approximate. For exact charges and environmental impact, check the billing information from your gas supplier.
