Duraflame cost to operate flame only

I see where they list the cost to run the duraflame heater per hour but I was wondering if there is much cost to only have the flames going and not the heater. I don't need the heat right now but the flames are so pretty to sit and watch. I don't want to be shocked when my electric bill comes in. I don't think it would pull much electricity but not sure.

It wouldn't be any more than the cost of running a light bulb. That's all that drawing electricity with just the flame.

Agree with post #1 I have a Duraflame and I use the flame effect alone all through the year. It is the cost of a 40 watt bulb, and maybe a tiny more that makes the thing inside turn to make the flames dance, but I never see the difference on the bill.
