best electric fireplace with heater image

Heating in our house is starting to get unaffordable for us. Does anyone have an Electric Fireplace in their Bedroom? Does it keep you warm at night?
Which would you recommend, electric or Fuel?
It says it uses as much Electricity as a Coffee Machine.
Answer
Having an electric fire is your bathroom would be against building regulations as electricity and water don't mix, your best option is an oil filled towel heater. I installed one last winter and left it on all the time as once they are hot they do not use much power and it kept the whole upstairs at a reasonable temperature.
Gas or coal is always cheaper than electric for all other fires, I bought my electric fires from http://www.directfiresonline.co.uk they were really helpful advising me on which ones to buy as they have different power outputs and they also got me my bathroom heater even though they don't stock them!

What kind of space heater should i get?

The downstairs in my house is so cold even when the heat is on and I wanna get a good heater that will heat the whole area. I was thinking one of the new Dyson hots or maybe an electric fireplace? Any suggestions?
Answer
The space heater is a band aid for a deeper issue. How is the heat being lost? Look for places where cold air is entering. A couple of $1.50 tubes of caulk can block a lot of air infiltration. Is the bottom of the door letting cold air in? Little flap things are available to seal that. Clear plastic film can be attached to the inside of windows to block cold air coming in. If you buy an electric heater, look for a UL listed label to ensure it is safe to use. Also, see if it shuts off when tipped over. That is important.
