best electric fireplace heater reviews image
HollysMom
I read about this furnace in the newspaper & thought it sounded GREAT, before I buy it I would like to know if anyone has bought 1 or knows of someone who has. Can you also give me your input on this furnace, every little bit will help. The newspaper is offering a $198.00 coupon.
Answer
Consumer Reports posted a video review of this exact item on YouTube. It's a Chinese made faux fireplace with an Amish-made wooden mantle. For some reason, it seems heaters with combustible housings are trendy lately. Check the first link I've included if you want to see what happens when something goes horribly wrong with a heater made out of materials that burn.
All 120v electric heaters are 100% efficient and they all max out at 1,500 watts (5,121 BTU). Buy the least expensive one that is made out of something that doesn't burn - that means not plastic or wood.

My friend is looking to get him a house. He and I agree that the price is cheap, but we don't really know much about real estate. From the pictures, Do you think it looks any good?
Answer
Any good is a matter of opinion. What one person loves, another person hates.
Just reviewing the comments here are my concerns:
Pictures: The exterior looks a bit rough, the roof may need attention. Does your friend have resources to address these issues down the road?
Year built: 1920. This means that nothing will be straight. If your friend os going to hang wallpaper or run some fancy molding, it will be an undertaking.
Electric log fireplaces: Why? If they are ornamental, fine. But this is not a heat source.
1 car garage: Not great for resale.
Heating features, space heaters: What? Your friend may have financing issues if space heaters are a major source of heat in this house. And again, resale comes into mind. It is no secret that space heaters are great for running up your electric bill and being a fire hazard.
Wood windows: Not energy efficient.
OK, there you have my 2 cents.
