The ads say those Amish electric heaters can heat an entire room for almost nothing. So how many Amish fire places would I need to replace my 80,000 btu furnace. I figure I can cut my heating bill in half if I shut off my furnace and use those miracle heaters. Waddayou think?
They call them Amish fireplaces, but they are just an electric heater with a wooden cover.



Answer
"Amish Electric Heater" -- that sounds like a con game. The Amish religion does not use electricity.

I will search that on the internet and be right back to you.

All I could find was "Amish Fireplaces" -- the term (in that case) simple meant "plain Jane"

Heating by electricity is very expensive. It would take about 20 electric heaters @ 15 amps each to replace your furnace. --- That would probably double your present heating bill.

Is an Electric Fireplace Worth it?

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!
