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

Well... Ohanna gave you the $10 answer already. Propane beats electric every time for heat production.
However it is also worth note that "supplementing" heat with a fireplace is not a good practice either. You will feel the fireplace heat radiating in the room the fireplace is in, but the fireplace use will also speed up the homes stack effect air loss and result in higher bills. WP&L energy sent a note in their newsletter that regular fireplace use can make your heating bill go up 20%. I know it sounds counter intuitive but it is true, and you can ask any energy rater about it.
Your better off plugging the fireplace chimney flue with a chimney balloon and using propane heat to warm the interior air. That is the efficient solution.
