You'll have to take a look at the wattage of the heaters to determine power usage. As for how many hours use he'll get, that depends on how many units of electricity he gets per coin. If the heater is rated at 1kW, it'll use one unit of electricity in an hour, 2kw uses a unit in half an hour, etc.
I think an oil fired rad would be a far better idea than a bar heater. These have a built in thermostat, so switch off for a while once the room reaches the desired temperature, so saving electricity. They're also safer than bar heaters, significantly reduced risk of fire.
