How much does it cost to maintain an electric fireplace?

Electric fireplaces don’t require regular maintenance like gas or wood-burning fireplaces. There’s no need to purchase logs, fuel, kindling, or schedule a chimney sweep.

Are electric fireplaces efficient?

Electric fireplaces keep the heat where you need it. Traditional heating sources warm the entire house regardless of the room usage. Built in electric fireplace inserts allow you to zone heat by warming the room(s) you are using without having to turn up the central thermostat. This significantly reduces energy waste. Additionally, indoor electric fireplaces heat a room more efficiently than wood-burning fireplaces. This is because much of the heat produced in a wood-burning fireplace is lost through the chimney whereas indoor electric fireplaces are vent-free keeping the heat in the room.

How large of an area will my electric fireplace heat?

Our indoor electric fireplaces run on 120V and produce up to 5,000 BTUs. That's enough heat to warm approximately 450 square feet without turning up the central thermostat.

Are electric fireplaces good for the environment?

Electric fireplaces reduce your carbon footprint. Wood fireplaces are bad for the environment because they require trees to be destroyed and release a large amount of carbon dioxide that contributes to the greenhouse effect. Indoor electric fireplaces are better for the environment because there are no emissions or fossil fuels involved.

Do electric fireplace inserts give off heat?

Are electric fireplaces safe?
