Answer
When dealing with a faulty flame on an electric fireplace it could be a couple different things, mainly the wiring or the electrical outlet. First, you would want to check the wiring to make sure everything looks correct i.e. connected and secure. If the wiring looks correct check the electric voltage from the power outlet that you have the fireplace plugged in to (it may not supply enough electricity to power the fireplace). Not knowing the make and model of the fireplace it is hard for me to distinguish what could be exactly wrong with your product. Also considering how new you product is you may want to contact the manufacturer or retailer and see if it would be easier to just replace the unit.

Electric Fireplace vs. Gel Fuel Fireplace?




hh


I am thinking of putting a fireplace in my living room on an interior wall, just for looks and maybe a little extra heat in the winter. I dont know anyone who has either of these fireplaces so i was hoping for a little advice from someone with some experience in this area-- thanks for your help.

I don't agree with the previous comments.

I would suggest that you see the actual model of electric fireplace you are looking at. The downfall is that they don't look very real! Probably the most realistic is the dimplex multifire. Lennox has a nice one also that uses a dvd. Electric will give more heat, and be cheaper to operate. But make sure you see it first.

With the gel you are getting a REAL fire, which even the best electric can't compete with. The gel also crackles like a real fire. It will be more expensive to maintain. Cheaper gels do emit a slight odor. If you go with the gel I would recommend you use Sungel, it is the cleanest. You can even make it yourself, to reduce costs. They also make scented gels as well.
If you use it alot there will be some residual soot after a while, not a big deal.

If you use it on rare occasions, I would lean towards a gel, electric if you think it will get used more than twice a week.
