Just bought a Hampton Bay electric fireplace heater with tv stand. It's 1,350 watts and 4600 btu's per hour. How long can we safely run this(overnight)? Trying to heat our apt with this rather than gas heating

Answer
We don't have the identical unit, but one similar, I think. We were in Hawaii for two months. The fireplace heater is in an old fireplace minus the chimney. We left with the power on but with the remote keeping the power off. When we returned we noticed the living room warmer than normal (summer). Sure enough, a power outage had occurred sometime during the two month absence and the remote turned the fireplace heater on when the power came back on. No way of knowing how long it was on...days, perhaps weeks. No fire, no damage of any find.

My cats are in an AZ room, closed porch,should I worry how cold it gets in winter?

I have an electric fireplace heater which has brought the temp from 66 to 73 in a little over 1 hour. I think I can go shut it off, But what temp is too cold? In winter we will have our pellet stove running and we will open the living room windows so it can go to that room too. It's only October, I feel cold. They were cuddled under covers when I went out there.

Answer
They have fur coats so they are naturally warmer than we are.
