Can an electric fireplace heat my living room?
Whether an electric fireplace can heat your living room depends on the volume of the space and the outdoor temperature. Electric fireplaces are ideal as supplementary heating in the living room, bedroom, or office space. However, they lack the capacity to serve as the main heating source in a large room.
Most electric fireplaces provide convective heat. In convective heating, cold air is warmed as it passes over a heating element. This element blows warm air out, similar to an air conditioner.
What does it cost to heat with an electric fireplace?
The energy consumption of an electric decorative fireplace is minimal. The decorative flames use very little power. The heating function of an electric fireplace typically consumes between 750 and 2000 watts, depending on the heat setting. The higher the heat setting, the more electricity the fireplace uses. Electric heating is generally slightly cheaper than gas. An electric fireplace usually has a maximum power of 2000 watts, which is sufficient as supplementary heating.
Installation of an electric fireplace
An electric fireplace does not require a chimney, which makes installation and maintenance significantly cheaper. It also saves space in the house that would otherwise be taken up by a chimney. Additionally, no installer is needed for the installation of a built-in electric fireplace.
Using an electric fireplace in summer
Beautiful flames in a gas or wood fireplace often mean high heat output, which can be undesirable in summer. The flames of an electric fireplace work independently of the heating, allowing you to enjoy the cozy atmosphere all year round without extra heat.
