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

How could you heat a small house in an emergency?
romero
its minus 40 here in canada. i have elecric heat and i was wondering how i could heat the house if the power failed.
Answer
First of all, in 40 below weather, if your power fails and you don't have a backup generator, get yourself to the nearest hotel or public place, they will definitelyhave a generator. Figure out your next move from a safe place.
That haaving been said, I live in the Sierra's. We are having an ice storm, starting about now, and lasting through the weekend. Our power often fails. Last time the lines snapped and so did some trees in my property. I have a fireplace with a glass insert and it rocks.
It isn't uncommon to have the power go on and off for days. Off more than on when the winds pick up.
My heat is gas but the thermostat is electric. Stupid eh? So I had a backup generator hooked up to that, nothing else. It cost about $500 US. A backup generator for my entire electrical would have cost me a fortune. I can live with candlelight if I have heat.
The first time the power went out I realized one important thing: having candles and lanterns and lantern oil and radios and batteries and flashlights and such emergency items, that's fine, but knowing where they are and how to go directly to them and find them in pitch black, without stumbling or hurting yourself, that's the key.
Good luck to all of you up there!
PS. I guess Old Philbert up above me doesn't get around much if he thinks 40 below doesn't exist. What a joke.
