electric fireplace 1500 watts image
F Strauser
My neighbor heats with electric heaters. He is 73 and somewhat eccentric so he wont consider any other type of heat. He has tried several different kinds of heaters including edenpure, electric fireplaces and the like. But nothing seems to keep the apartment warm. I was wondering anyone has any suggestions on what would work. He lives in a one bedroom apartment, that's approximately 900 square feet.
Answer
We use a Lasko floor cyclonic ceramic heater that sits against the wall, it pulls cool air from the floor and blows it out of the top. They operate on 15 amps at 1500 watts and are digital. It's about like adding 2 HVAC vents in a room that before didn't have one.
That should keep the temperature comfortable.
Ceramic is also very safe and warmer to me then any other heater type. They are also safe.
Wal-mart carries them see the link below.

i got a electric fire place that was in my living room and then it worked for a month or so, and ever since then whenever i turn it on the heater will go on for a second and then it will go off and then the heater will stop working. Do i need a dedicated plug or need to call a electrician to fix this?
Answer
about any kind of electric heat needs its own dedicated power source. Ive had hundreds of service calls over the years over portable heaters overloading circuits. a 1500 watt heater pulls 12.5 amps. A standard 15 amp living room circuit shouldn't be loaded more than 80 percent. That's 12 amps so its overloaded with just the heater running. sounds like you may also have a problem with the heater so get the electrician to check it while he is there installing a new circuit.
