I have the loop system and can only tell you that I was told that it uses as much electricity as any other timer you would have in your home. (That makes sense to me.) Either way, we didn't notice an increase in our electric bill when we had it installed. By the way, this is the second home we've had it installed in as it's definitely worth the money.
