Usually power companies charge per unit which is 1kilowatt hour. That is if a gadget is rated 1000 watts and is kept on for 1 hour, the electric company will charge for one unit. In your case they will charge for 4.8 units at the going rate.

Does an electric fireplace raise electric bills much?

Electric Fireplaces are in inexpensive way to heat your home. Typically they are less expensive to operate than gas or electric furnaces. To determine the cost of running your electric fireplace, you would need to know the watts per hour that it uses and times that by your electric companies rate. That would give you a base price, as utility companies add on extra charges. Also, if you run it constantly, it will cost more. I turn mine on first thing in the morning until the house is comfortable then, shut it down til the evening. If it is a particularly cold day, I start on high and then turn it to low, and keep the furnace on 65.

How much hydro does a 4800 watts heater use?

Your term "hydro" is another term for kilowatt hours. So to answer your question a 4800 watt heater on for an hour would consume 4.8 kilowatt/hours. To take it further if you knew what you pay for a kilowatt hour in your area, multiply it by 4.8 and you could see how much it costs you to operate the heater. An example if you pay .11 cents a kilowatt hour, the price would be .528 or 53 cents an hour.

How can you compute the natural gas consumption of your fireplace?

Turn off all of the gas appliances in the home except for the the fireplace. Watch the gas meter for 60 seconds and record the cubic foot usage, multiply the reading you get times 60 and that is your NG consumption for 1 hour. To convert to btu, multiply the 1 hour reading by 1000 and that #, if the fireplace is set up and burning properly should be the same as the Input rating on the fireplace tag. If you simply want to know how much gas you are using when lit, divide the Input rating on the tag by 1000 and that will tell how much NG you are using per hour in cubic feet.

Will a 1500 watt 120 volt heater be expensive to run?

1.5 kW "Kilo" means 1000, so a 1500 W appliance uses energy at the rate of 1500 W / 1000 = 1.5kW. By the way, you probably do not mean "kilowatts per hour." A watt (or a kilowatt) measures the rate of energy use. Rate units already have the time parameter built in: for example, "kilometers per hour" is a measure of one's rate of travel. What you may mean is "kilowatt-hours," which is what the unit the electric company uses to figure your bill. If you are in the UK, which averages about 7p/kWh for electricity, the fireplace will cost you about 10.5p each hour you run it. In the USA the average cost for electricity is about $0.12/kWh, so the fireplace will cost you about $0.18 every hour.
