my bf is looking into buying a space heater for his house. he has a little one now and it does ok. he's seen the ads for the amish heater fireplace and lookin at portable radiator ones. he's looking to see if one can heat his house. its only 662sq ft. or maybe close the one bedroom and bathroom so it heats the living room and his room without having to move it from room to room. i'm looking to see how much it costs to run these products. he's trying to not turn his furnace on this winter. he lives in indiana and the gas company out here rapes you with prices. especially gas. i read one yahooanswer and they said the fireplace heaters are a joke. and then there are some that can supposedly save you up to 500% on your bill.
please help me!!
Answer
Fireplace inserts are very efficient. They are also kind of pricey. But to provide heat for a small area it might not cost too much. A fireplace insert to heat 1800 plus sq. feet can cost $3000. up installed (this is the wood burning ones). If he needed a smaller one to heat less square footage it would be much less. Another option is a wood burning stove. They are much less expensive if he has the space for it.
If he is handy or someone in his family is handy he could save on the installation. I live in Indy too and gas and oil & electric are out of sight as far as price.
The inserts are so efficient they actually burn on 7 or 8 of wood for 8 - 10 hours. Look around there are a lot of places in IN that carry the inserts and stoves. Most of them carry fireplaces, gas inserts and wood inserts in one store.

what things should be kept in mind while going for an electric chimney?

(Electric chimney is in an elecronic device used in kitchen over the cooking hob to get rid of the smoke- its gaining popularity in india because of the oily cooking style produces a lot of smoke which i turn deposits a layer of soot all over the other applicances in the kitchen. Using this chimney is beneficial but its maintenance is difficult- i would like people who have already using it in india to share their experiences and suggest what should be taken care of while purchasing one to have best results with minimum possible power consumtion and maintenace problems

Answer
Pros
* They produce zero emissions, so you can put them almost anywhere (fireplace in the bathroom, anyone?)
* You can choose to turn off the heat and just have the flames flicker for ambiance (so, they're appropriate even in warm climates).
* The ceramic logs that come with electric fireplaces offer a reasonably realistic wood-burning look.
* You don't need any venting to the outside.
Cons
* Don't plan on using your electric fireplace as backup heating or lighting during a power outage (something you can do with wood or gas units), because it won't work.
* These types of fireplaces have the lowest BTU output in comparison to other options.
