These were measured at the AC plug so I can take away that my elements are fine as well as the cord.
Assuming constant draw (false assumption really it's going to change as the element warms up..but best I can get right now) running them from 2 am to 7 am, 5 hours:
5.085 kWH @ $0.0946 cents per hour = $0.48 per night.

That is cheap for guaranteed starting, on the few days per year it may be needed.
