I live in an apartment, with electric baseboard heat. I bought an electric fireplace, with hopes that it would lower my electric bill a little, and look nice at the same time. It doesn’t seem to heat very well. Should I return it and get something different? Maybe a space heater with a bit more powerful of a fan? I’m just looking for something to supplement the electric baseboard, because it can be VERY expensive to run.

Thanks!

We bought a beautiful house that is perfect in every way, except for a very ugly fake fireplace. My house is traditional, but the mantel is light oak. Well, actually, it is just about perfect after I have spent 4 years and a lot of money. My last project is the fireplace, and my budget can’t take a custom-made job. We are total electric so I don’t have the choice of using gas. The electric fireplace w/mantel that I found at Lowe’s is made of fake, cheap looking material. If I go through my decorator and her carpenter, it would be perfect, but would cost ,000 to ,000. I’ve done a lot of searching on the web, but I’m confused. I would appreciate any suggestions. My furniture is cherry, some dark antique pieces, and I have a black baby grand, so I need a fireplace that is not only functional but fits with my decor. Thanks!
There is no indention into the wall. They just put Italian marble (strange) where the fireplace would be. It’s all flat with the wall. I have a hand-painted screen in front of it, but it is still a useless waste of a long wall. The dimplex is beautiful. Thanks for recommending that. Not sold here, but is available within 200 miles. Such nice people here! Some of the categories have such *angry* people. I was prepared to be insulted. :)

Hi, for Christmas I got an electric fireplace and was wondering if there anything I can put on top of the fireplace that would resist the heat? I have a cat and I think she might want to jump on top of it when it’s running. I’m a bit worried that she might burn herself. The user guide said that the sides and front (duh since that’s where the vent is) get hot. Any suggestions?

or would i have to put something underneath?? i dont understand if an electric fireplace is completely against the wall or is there a bit of space between the 2. For example i have a piece of furniture that has its feet against the wall but theres still space because it kinda tilts forward…im guessing its cuz of the carpet??!!

We currently have a very ugly builtin shelf in our living room. Once we remove the shelf we’ll have a floor to ceiling hole. We plan to have the wall fixed, but would like to add an electric fireplace to the room and are not sure if inserting it in the wall is safe?

Im planning on getting one that I can hold a tv and other media devices too. Anyone with experience with a website or a department store? Thanks.

I have a house that is heated by baseboard heaters and I am thinking of getting a electric fireplace for the living room. Both are 2000W. The fireplace will have a fan – which will use more energy, but spread the heat through the room faster. Which one will be more energy efficient?

Electric Fireplace Inserts – Warm Up Without The Mess

A fireplace is a great addition to any home. A fireplace can warm both the temperature and the atmosphere, add charm and make for a relaxing or a romantic night. Unfortunately, not everyone can have an authentic, wood-burning fireplace. Many homes do not come equipped with such a luxury, and the task of installing one in an existing structure can be daunting.

Why Electric Fireplaces Are Growing In Popularity

Even those that have a fireplace may not be enjoying the glow and warmth of a fire as often as they would like. The work involved in collecting and chopping wood, beginning the fire, and keeping up the maintenance of a chimney may seem like small things at first but can grow tedious overtime.

For reasons such as these, electronic fireplaces have begun to grow in popularity. These fireplaces, unlike the traditional kind, are portable, convenient, mess-free and safe.

An electric fireplace has all the convenience of a space heater. You simply bring it home from the store, plug it in, and in minutes you’re basking in the glow of your very own “fire” just by flipping a switch. These units can be installed literally anywhere; in a basement, in an apartment, in an entertainment center or even on the wall. The choice is yours. They can also take the place of an existing traditional fireplace.

With an electronic fireplace, you get all the warmth and coziness of a fire with none of the mess. There’s no wood to chop, no soot to clean, and no chimney to maintain. In fact, there doesn’t have to be a chimney at all, which will also save you on losing heat straight through your roof. Also, these units are unparalleled in their safety. Because they’re electric you aren’t dealing with actual flames, so all safety issues, such as fire hazards and burned hands, are eliminated.

Also, while electric fireplaces have all the convenience of a space heater, it is clearly superior in aesthetic quality. Instead of an unsightly metal box sitting in the middle of your room, you can instead enjoy the peaceful, relaxing sight of a fire.

The Dimplex 23″ Standard Electric Fireplace Insert/Log Set is a great choice for your own electric fireplace. It comes complete with lifelike flame technology that creates the look of a real fire. It also includes realistic, painted logs and an ember bed for additional effect.

This model generates 1,375 watts of warmth and has the capacity to heat up to 400 square feet. However, it also comes equipped for enjoyment year round. On hot days, you can still enjoy the sight of the realistic flames by turning the heat off, an option that will never be available in a traditional fireplace.

Eliminate Safety Hazards With An Electric Fireplace Insert

While an electric fireplace will never totally match the look and feel of its more traditional counterpart, the advantages and benefits of these models are undeniable. These units eliminate safety hazards, tedious clean up, and can be installed anywhere simply by plugging into the nearest outlet. A fireplace is a great addition to any home, and for the cost and quality, electric units can’t be beaten.
