Do electric fireplaces really help you save on your electric bill?

Answer
Nope. If you want to save some money; use a 1500w space heater in the room you are in, and keep the thermostat in the house set at 50, or 55. Shut it off - and unplug it - when you are not using it.
How much money you will save depends upon the peak rate from your power company, and what type of heat your house has now.

heater 1 and heater n2 in my electric heater have stopped working the fan is working and the flame lighting is still working I am trying to troubleshoot what the problem may be so that i can possibly fix it or order parts for it

Answer
You can sometimes find these items used on ebay. Here one sold for $50: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BIP-Electric-Fireplace-Moveable-Heater-1500W-ModelFP08-342-Low-Start-No-Reserve-/220939017984

A direct search does not seem to find a manual, parts or a mfg web site. It could be that the unit is manufactured under another name and there is another company or part number you should be researching.
