How Efficient Are Chimney Free Electric Fireplaces?

Electric fireplaces offer several advantages over real ones: no need to cut down trees to burn, no smoke being released into the environment and pleasant heat at the flip of a switch. The efficiency of these fireplaces has improved in recent years as well.

  1. Energy Efficiency

    • Electric fireplaces are energy efficient because none of their energy is wasted. The light produced is used for the look of flames for a cozy appearance, and the heat offset is used to warm your home.

    Choose the Right Size Fireplace

    • Make sure you look at the manufacturer's guidelines for how powerful the fireplace should be for the amount of square feet you want to heat. If you have a small, closed-in room, you'll want a smaller unit than if you have a large open-concept area that you want to heat with the electric fireplace.

    Energy-Saving Features

    • Some electric fireplaces have a thermometer that allows you to set a desired temperature, and then the unit turns off when that temperature is reached. Another option allows you to shut off the heat so you can enjoy the look of the fire without the heat.
