Do CPAP machines use a lot of electricity?

Post by JennySawyer » Wed May 29, 2019 10:45 am

I've had an electricity bill which is higher than what I think it should be - the bill period coincides with using my CPAP machine & I wonder if this is related.

CPAPs use very little electricity

Turn off A/c, Furnace, Refridge, and T.V.s,, They use lots of electric. XPAPS use very little, even less without the HH and heated hose running. Jim

According to the manual your machine's peak power is just over 100watts so its like leaving a light bulb on for 8 hours a day and wouldn't raise your bill by more than a few dollars/month at its maximum power.
