Joe .
I live in upstate NY, I'm trying to determine is an electric fireplace can save money on my electric bill this winter.
Here is all the info about my sitution:
I live in a 1000sq Condo
electric heat via heat pump
usage during winter for heating as about 1100 KWh per month
electric is billed at $0.137 per KWh according to bill last week
I'm seeing on average electric fireplaces are about 5000BTU which use
about 1500 Kwh.
If I put the fireplace in the same room as thermoustat, my heat pump will run less, how much cooler will the rest of my condo be if I set the thermoustat at 70 degrees during the day and 60 at night
Will I save any money on electric bill my doing that
Answer
Electric fireplaces are very economical. They cost less to run than gas or wood, about 10x less. They can provide supplemental heat for a room up to 20x20. Here's a link to a place that sells electric fireplaces, you can get more info there. http://www.quicksupply.net/s-12-electric-fireplaces.aspx

Do electric fireplaces really look real?
Richie Ric
The ones I saw at walmart and homedepot look like crap. I looked online and some some from a company called Dimplex that looks pretty real. Has anyone bought one of these? Do they look real? I don't want to be be embarrassed with some piece of crap that I bought online and can't return. Does anyone have any other companies to suggest? Thanks.
Answer
do electric fireplaces look real?...well they kind of do, but the better electric fireplaces are not going to be at a big box store, you really need to visit a specialty fireplace shop. Any shop worth its bricks will carry a good brand that looks more realistic.
Overall though you are not going to fool anyone that an electric fireplace is a real one. They are an aesthetic all their own.
Personally i like the look of them and they are easy to operate but they are not going to fool anybody into thinking they are real.
