electric fireplaces without heat image
All This a
I live in an apartment where I do not control my heat. I live in New York State, so it gets pretty cold here. It is permissable to have a fireplace and I already know the pros and cons of having one. My question is: should I go with electric or use burning gels. Which is more realistic, economical and warmer. Can anyone recommend a particular site, store or brand? I have searhed all the sites I could think of and obviously came up with almost no information. I even tried consumer rated sites. HELP! It is getting cold real fast here!
Answer
I work at a fireplace company in Ft. Worth Texas and I sell alot of electric fireplaces. The best one on the market is made by a company called Dimplex. The flame looks so much like a real flame that I have people that think it is real when they see it. The best thing is you can run it with or without heat. They also have wall mount stoves that are great for smaller rooms. I attached a few links below for you to see. They are based in Canada but I bet they have a place there for you to get it. Also look at their fireplaces & Mantel kits. I have installed more than 700 of them for a builder here and only had 2 product related service calls. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me at pvm3@sbcglobal.net

which one to choose, a wood stove or a fireplace insert?
I am planning to convert an existing fireplace into a heating source for my home. I would like to determine the most efficient solution: either a fireplace insert (wood - we do not have gas lines) or a wood stove.
Answer
I would go with the stove. Their construction and shape are geared towards maximum recirculation of all combustible gasses making them very efficient with minimal particulate output. I would also recommend the NON-catalytic kind. The catalytic kind have expensive catalysts, like in a car exhaust, that need replacing after a time. The non-catalytic kind have stainless steel tubes in the top of the burner box that recirculate the gasses and burn them. They also make a lovely 'firewash' effect that cause the flames to flow and dance differently without smudging the glass door.
An insert may have some of those technologies too; you'll need to ask/research it.
The stove is smaller and takes less space in your room. It can use the existing chimney as it's flue with an adapter to the stove pipe. Some come with built in fans that circulate the air, or get one of the thermo-electric kind that don't use power and sit on the stove top. You can also use assorted 'steamers' on the stove top to put moisture in the room during dry winter days. Don't think you can do that with a fireplace insert.
Hope this helps!
