At Ontario's off-peak rate it is about 4.5 cents an hour — roughly $11 a month. What it won't do is heat a room, and that distinction decides whether it is worth it for you.

Check current priceThis is a real heater with a real ceramic PTC element and real safety features, and it is genuinely cheap to run — about 4.5 cents an hour at Ontario's off-peak winter rate (OEB). What it is not: a room heater. At 500W and roughly the size of your hand, it warms the spot you point it at.
One Canadian-specific caveat that matters: pricing is in US dollars at checkout and the seller ships from the US, so confirm the landed cost before you order.
A note for Quebec readers specifically: your baseboard heating is already among the cheapest in the world, so the savings argument is far weaker than it is in Nova Scotia or Nunavut.
Check current priceIf you searched for an Ultra Air Heater review for Canada, the questions are practical: is it legitimate, what does it cost on a Canadian hydro bill, and what should you pay for it? This page answers those with the rates published by Canadian regulators and the checkout as it is shown today.
The formula is short: 500W = 0.5 kWh per hour. At Ontario's off-peak winter rate for 2026–27 of 9.1¢/kWh (OEB), that is 0.5 × 9.1 = 4.55¢ per hour, or about $0.05 rounded. Eight hours a day for 30 days comes to roughly $11 a month.
The same use during Ontario's on-peak period (18.9¢/kWh) costs about 9.45¢ an hour and roughly $23 a month.
| Heater power | Per hour | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| 500W | $0.045 | $11 |
| 750W | $0.068 | $16 |
| 1000W | $0.091 | $22 |
| 1500W | $0.137 | $33 |
| 2000W | $0.182 | $44 |
At the national average of about 15¢/kWh, the same 500W heater costs about $0.075 an hour, or roughly $18 a month at 8 hours a day.
Quebec about 7.1¢/kWh · Manitoba 9.97¢ · British Columbia 11.87¢ (first 675 kWh/month, Step 1) and 14.08¢ (Step 2) · Ontario 9.1¢ off-peak, 14.6¢ mid-peak, 18.9¢ on-peak · Alberta about 12¢ · Nova Scotia about 17–20¢ · Nunavut 35.4¢.
The same device varies by up to four times depending on where you live.
Since 1 November 2026, Ontario's time-of-use (TOU) pricing for winter 2026–27 has three periods: off-peak at 9.1¢/kWh (weekdays 7pm–7am, and all day on weekends and holidays), mid-peak at 14.6¢/kWh (weekdays 11am–5pm), and on-peak at 18.9¢/kWh (weekdays 7–11am and 5–7pm). Households that opt into Ultra-Low Overnight (ULO) pay 3.7¢/kWh from 11pm to 7am every day, with on-peak ULO at 37.7¢/kWh on weekdays from 4 to 9pm.
Here is what almost no review mentions: on 1 November 2026 the Ontario Electricity Rebate dropped from 23.5% to 15.7%. The commodity prices went down, but the rebate went down by more, so many households will not see their bill fall — and some will see it rise. Plan your heater usage against the delivered cost on your own bill, not against the headline rate.
500W is roughly what a couple of incandescent bulbs or a hair dryer on low draws. A typical Canadian room in winter, with exterior walls and windows exposed to −20°C air for much of the country, loses heat far faster than that can replace it.
The vendor's claims of "250 sq ft" and "any room to 75 degrees in less than 2 minutes" describe the reach of the airflow, not the capacity to heat the mass of air in a room. This is a heater for a place, not a space: a desk, a chair, a counter or a cold corner.
One real-world nuance: some buyers report the PTC thermostat modulating power to about 425W, which lowers both cost and heat output in roughly the same proportion. We did not measure this ourselves.
The Ultra Air Heater is a compact plug-in unit with a white body, a black honeycomb front grille, a four-button control panel (Speed, Temp +, Temp −, Timer), a central display, a blue side switch and an integrated NEMA 5-15 plug. Per the manufacturer, it uses a 500W PTC ceramic element. PTC ceramic is a legitimate, self-regulating heating technology; what needs calibration is the coverage the seller claims, not the element itself.
Per the manufacturer, it reduces output from 50°C to 40°C and shuts off if it exceeds 50°C three times in a row.
If it falls, it stops, blows ambient air for 30 seconds and cuts power.
Plugs straight into the wall. Never use an extension cord or power bar.
Holds the set temperature and modulates output, per the seller.
Plug it directly into a wall outlet and never into an extension cord or power bar. Never leave it running unattended. The surface gets hot. Do not use it in bathrooms or damp areas unless it is rated for them. Keep it away from children and pets, and keep about 3 feet (90 cm) clear of furniture, curtains and walls.
These instructions appear in the manufacturer's own documentation. With a heater, they matter more than any marketing claim. In Canadian homes with baseboard heaters along the walls and heavy winter curtains near outlets, that 90 cm clearance needs real attention, not a glance.
The product is real and the mechanism is real: it is a 500W PTC ceramic heater with the safety features the seller describes. The store is new, and the headline claims — "up to 30% off your energy bill" and "heats any room to 75 degrees in less than 2 minutes" — come from the seller and have no published data behind them. We attribute them to the seller and do not repeat them as fact.
There is mixed reporting. ExpertPicked rates it 3.8/5, confirms the 500W PTC element and the overheat and tip-over protection, and describes it as localized heating. MalwareTips reports refunds that it says were ignored and units that were underpowered. Sites that aggregate customer reviews show generally positive results. We cannot verify any of these in one direction.
Concretely: (a) we found no independent or institutional test of this heater; (b) the same type of heater is sold generically on marketplaces — Walmart lists variants from about $16 with a 4.2/5 rating, and at least one reviewer reports receiving a European plug; (c) buying through the official checkout gives you access to the 60-day promise and to support. We did not test the unit ourselves.
Prices are shown in US dollars at checkout. The same checkout serves US customers.
The checkout is the same one used for US customers and shows prices in US dollars. It also advertises US-based shipping. That means your card issuer will apply its own exchange rate, and your order may attract customs handling fees, duty or provincial and federal taxes on import depending on how it is declared and shipped.
We are not able to state a final CAD price because it depends on your card and your province. Confirm the total landed cost before you pay — and if a clear CAD price and Canadian shipping are not shown, treat that as a reason to pause.
Our suggestion: to test the product, one unit is enough. The device is identical across the three packs, so a multi-pack only makes sense if you already know you want more than one.
Check current priceThe seller's wording: "Try Risk-Free: 60 Day Money-Back Promise" and "Give it a go for 60 days, and if you're not seeing the difference, we'll refund every penny." Per the seller, that is the guarantee.
Sixty days is a fair window, but for a Canadian buyer, an international return can cost more than the product itself. Before you buy, confirm in writing the return address and who pays return shipping, and keep your order confirmation and the guarantee text.
Check current priceThe Ultra Air Heater is a real, inexpensive-to-run personal heater with real protections. It does not heat a room and it does not replace your home's heating. For a desk, a chair, a counter or a cold corner, the math works. For a bedroom in a Canadian winter, it does not.
The right decision is the one that matches your space — and your province, not the biggest discount.
