gas or electric fireplace?

jonass21

I have a 224 sqft room that has an old in wall gas heater. I want to tear out the old in wall heater and put in a fireplace, should I go electric or gas? Which is cheaper to run? Would electric add as much value to the home as gas?

Answer
Electric fireplaces are strictly for looks or for adding to spaces where there simply is no means of installing a fireplace or the cost to do so is prohibitive. They produce about as much heat as a hair dryer and the flame effect looks very unrealistic.

A gas fireplace can heat the entire room...along with a good portion of the house, depending on the type of fireplace you choose and the efficiency. Gas fireplaces come in 4 different types:

1) Natural Vent (least efficient)
2) Direct Vent (very efficient)
3) Ventless or Vent-Free (super efficient...but with drawbacks)
4) Wood Burning Fireplace with a Gas Log Installed (Vented of Ventless gas logs)

An electric fireplace will add little or no value to the home. The above 4 types of fireplaces will add value to the home. A wood burning fireplace with a gas log added to it will add the most value to the home because it allows a potential buyer to remove the gas logs and burn real wood if they so choose. A vented gas log installed in a wood burning fireplace will give you the most realistic looking fire but produces the least amount of heat. A ventless gas log installed in the same wood burning fireplace will be less realistic but will provide the most heat.

There is a significant expense involved in installing a fireplace. Ventless gas fireplaces are the least expensive to install since they do not have a chimney or vent. A direct vent gas fireplace is next as far as installation expense if it can be installed on an outside wall because the vent can come directly out the back of the fireplace and go through the wall with a termination cap just outside (no vertical chimney). Natural Vent gas fireplaces and Wood Burning fireplaces both require a chimney or vent that goes vertically through the roof, so they are more expensive to install. There are huge differences in the prices of each fireplace itself in addition to the cost of installation. For example, a wood burning fireplace and chimney pipe will cost substantially less than a direct vent gas fireplace, but the installation cost will make the overall cost substantially more for a wood burning unit.

I would suggest Googling the above fireplace terms and doing some research. Then go visit a local fireplace shop...they should be able to explain the differences between all of the above options including an electric fireplace.

Wood vs. gas fireplaces...?

momathomew

What are the pros and cons of EACH? We are moving into a house that has an older gas fireplace. Our inspector says he personally likes wood and we should convert it back. My husband also likes wood and thinks the point of a fireplace is to save on gas/electric bills. I agree with that, but I'd like to know the good and the bad about both gas and wood.
Thanks

Answer
I have a wood burning fireplace. My original thoughts were that I would go with wood burning because I wanted to use it to save money rather than lose money due to gas. The place that built my house put in a radiant wood burning fireplace. I've found out a few things since then. I'll list some of the options regarding fireplaces and pro's/cons.

Radiant Woodburning:
- Pros: best as far as appearance - real fire and easily visible
- Cons: lets cold air in during winter when not in use and can make the room smell a little, have some mess to clean up when you bring in the logs, can be a little hard to start, doesn't heat the room well

Woodburning with Blower:
- Pros: best for saving money if you have firewood available and does a great job of heating the room
- Cons: can't see the fire as well, it's encased by a metal door with glass in it due to the blower

Radiant Gas:
- Pros: easy to start, easy to see, no firewood mess, no smell, easy to view
- Cons: not real wood, expensive to heat with, doesn't heat the room well

Ventless Gas:
- Pros: very easy to start (just flick a switch), no firewood mess, no smell, very good at heating room, easy to view
- Cons: somewhat expensive to heat with but much more efficient than a radiant fireplace, glass door isn't meant to be opened often

If it was me, I'd either go with a wood fireplace that has a blower or a ventless gas fireplace.

Oh yeah, a few little notes if you get a wood fireplace, especially a radiant one. After you open the chimney flu and before you get ready to start the fire in the fireplace, I recommend opening an exterior door or window, especially if you have a well insulated home. If you don't the difference in air pressure between outside and inside your house can draw smoke into the room even with the flu vent open. Keep the window or door open until the fire gets going. After the heat from the starts going up the chimney and creates an air draft up the chimney then you can close the door or window without the worry of smoke filling the room. Also, it's good to leave a few ashes in the fireplace. The ashes are what hold the heat. And lastly, make sure to leave air void under your logs and some in between them. The air void allows oxygen to get to the fire when you are starting it and allows the fire to start easier.

Would it pay to put a propane fireplace insert in my home?

My home is 4 yrs old. It is heated by oil (hot water), I have an existing wood burning fireplace. Would it be economical to put in a propane fireplace log insert, too compliment the oil heat? The house seems to heat really hard. The house is 1800 sq ft. We seem to fill up with oil (half tanks 130 gallons) every month in the winter. Any help is appreciated.

Answer
Propane is not a whole lot cheaper than oil. You may want to get an electric radiant heat heater instead. They make wood burning inserts that you can install in your fireplace. Some models have a heat chamber with a fan to force the heat into the room. Most wood burning fireplaces (without the insert) just shoot most of the heat up the chimney. With an insert you can better regulate the fire for a slower burn. You use less wood and stop the heat that is in the room from going up the chimney. Between the insert and a radiant heater used in the rooms your are in most, you should cut down on your oil consumption.
Good luck, stay warm and be safe !

Which is more efficient? Using a gas fireplace or an electric space heater?

John

I have a home built in 2004, masonry fireplace with metal flue and a Home Depot gas log set. My question, is whether it is cheaper to run the fireplace to add a little warmth to the den or to use a ceramic type electric space heater. From what I've read, a fireplace is very inefficient. However, gas is more efficient and cheaper than electricity. You do get a fan, oscillation, etc out of the space heater, but gas is a thermally more efficient than electricity and much cheaper. I also have a solar voltaic system that covers about 50% of my normal electricity usage, so that may also skew the real equation of relative costs.

Answer
It is more efficient to use your electric space heater unless you had a fireplace insert. After reading your question it sounds like you just have a flue and not an insert. If you only have a flue and no insert is present, then most of the heat generated by the fireplace logs is going up and out the flue. Thus, it is more efficient to run the electric space heater. In addition, you have a solar voltaic system to increase the efficiency of your electric heater. However, if you had a fireplace insert and not just a flue, then it would be more efficient to burn gas rather than run the heater.

Split level home, electric heating and fireplace. how to keep the heating cost down.?

tomf

Hello, I am about to buy a split level house with electric heating, and a fireplace. There is an attic fan also. Im trying to figure out if there is any nice routine or way to go about keeping the electricity bill down. Like when should I toss logs in the fireplace, what should I set the electric heater at. Should I turn in the attic fan to circulate the hot air from the basement to the 2nd lvl for a faster warming up. Total new experience to me, I will learn first hand, but I wont object to any advice from people with similiar situations. thanks for reading

Answer
See if you can use "off peak" heating, where you get your electricity for about 1/2 price, but have to have an alternate fuel source for a few hours a day when they potentially may turn off your electric (when prices are at the highest). Electric is the most expensive way to heat if you don't do the off peak method - I would not EVER buy a house that used electric heat unless i could do off peak heating (which is what I have). Natural gas is the way to go, if it is available. It is by far the cheapest. If you are already locked into this house, see if you can convert to natural gas heat. Propane is cheaper than full price electric. Fuel oil is costly - still probably cheaper than full price electric, though.

If you want to heat with wood, you either need a woodstove, or a wood furnace. A fireplace will do little - almost all the heat in the house goes up the flue, because you cannot control the draft. Just use the fireplace for ambiance, and don't use it on very cold days below say 10 degree fareignheit, or you will lose too much home heat up the flue. Your home may not be a layout that you can heat with a woodstove - the air needs to be able to get around. A ranch home, for example, would be really hard to get the woodstove heat to all the rooms. I have a small farmhouse, on the other hand - the old fashioned kind - and the woodstove works great.

Get a programmable thermostat, and have the heat at say 65 at night, and heat up the house an hour before you get up, to say 68. Have it turn the heat down while you are at work. The person who said not to do this is wrong. Every energy expert says to do a programmable thermostat to save money. His/her answer violates the laws of thermodynamics, I do not understand why people think that way! do change your furnace filters often in the winter. The more dust trapping the filter, the more often you have to change it. The cheap blue furnace filters cut down air flow least, so they are easy on the furnace, but they don't trap much dust either. So there is a compromise there. If you have allergies, be resigned to changing furnace filters often.

In a very cold climate, plastic on the windows is great- i do that. You can have the electric company do a thermal imaging picture of your house to look for areas that need improvement. It's about $100, I think. I haven't had it done yet.

ask the previous homeowner for tips. every house has quirks, so you want to know them.

Any one out there ever buy an electric fireplace?

Atsa me At

for your home? Not an insert. Which did you buy? I would like to get one that has a large open face so I can see more of the flame..a no headache one...seems everything you buy anymore, if you don't know the correct questions to ask the sellers, they don't go out of their way to warn you of potential problems/hazards, well of course not they want to sell their items...thank you.

Answer
I wouldnt buy an electric if your looking for heat. They are stictly for looks. Sales guys will tell you "OH and it does 3000 or 5000 BTU" If you have a $30 space heater from Target that sits under your kitchen table, then you know how much heat that is. That will heat your bathroom after some time and thats it. All they put in them is a cheap little space heater. If your looking for something large to view Lennox makes the best one on the market but they charge for it. You will spend $2-3000 just for the fireplace and with 220v it will do 10,000BTU with 110v it just does 5000btu. But at that price I would just go for gas or wood, because you still have to purchase a full surround mantel. It def. looks the best out of all though because it doesnt use just standard lights. Other wise all the other brand are just cheap little boxes with lights in them with a 20 dollar space heater. Heat Surge claims to be Amish, but when purchased look on the back and you will see MADE IN CHINA, it's all chip board, Amish don't use chip board, so if the sticker is missing thats proof rite there.
I just recommend pick the one you think look the best, just don't plan on purchasing it for heat. And I would not leave the heater on for long times. Leaving just the fireplace on is just a 60W. bulb but with the heater at the same time you have about 1500w an hour

is it more cost efficient to run an electric fireplace or central heat?

UNCCHgirl

we moved into our apt in June so it will be our first winter there. Its a brand new (so it should have the better windows and what-not) apt on the 3rd floor. We run the a/c on 74 degrees and our bill is about $65/month.

For the winter we were thinking of getting an electric fireplace. We found a small one that's a 1500 watts and heats about 400 sq. feet. Any advice on whether I should run the heat or get an electric fireplace? if a fireplace is better what I should look for in one?

thanks

Answer
Central heating will heat the whole place.
The electric fireplace will heat the one room when it is real cold.
It would be good to have one for a stand by in case the central does not work later on.

Can an electric fireplace help lower my electric bill?

shana

I live in colorado and just moved into a house with electric heaters along the bases of all the walls. I can tell just by looking at the heaters that they are old and I am assuming that they are not very energy efficient because of their age. I read that an electric fireplace cost roughly 8 cents an hour to use. My electric bill has been over 200.00 for the past 2 months now and I have done everything I can to lower it. The heaters are the only thing really that are out of my control and I am pretty sure they are the reason my bills have been so high. Any help would be great.
All of the windows are brand new and I am doing the zone heating right now. Only using the heaters if I am in the room. No one thinks that the age of the heaters could be affecting the amount of electricity they are using? Surely something that is 20 or 30 years newer would be more efficient?

Answer
An electric heater is an electric heater, you get so many B.T.U.'S per Kilowatt hour. Doesn't matter if it's a baseboard or portable. Jesus, if it's been costing you 200/mth and it isn't even cold yet, you better tie your bootlaces and get ready for the Dec. Jan. Feb bills. They are going to be at LEAST twice as much as you have been paying so far. Only thing I can think is that it's an old house without a lick of insulation in it. I'd say dress warmly and use a portable heater or fireplace in front of you and turn the heat down in the rest of the house.

**If you are using 200.00/mth right now, that means you are using 1538.46 kilowatt hours with Colorados price of . 13/kw. At that price, you should be able to run 11-1500 watt heaters, 24 hours a day for a month. I realize you are not only using it for heat but that's the kind of power you can use for that much money. SOMETHING is wrong and it's not that your heaters are old. (makes no difference.) I'd suggest you shut down your main breaker and then go outside and see if your meter is still running. If it is, one of your neighbors is stealing power from you or there's a drain that shouldn't be there. Your bill is uncharacteristically high for Colorado at this time of the year but the power is going somewhere....

how do electric fireplaces work?

beach answ

would like to put an electric fireplace in my house, but don't know anything about them.

how do they work? does it just plug in? does it give off heat? use wood? expensive to operate? expensive to purchase? easily installed?

Answer
Electric fireplaces are really just decorative. a 110 unit will produce about 4,500 BTU worth of heat, a 220 will produce about 9,500. Not very much either way. They are VERY easily installed, plug it in and you're done, and fairly inexpensive to buy $300-$1500. A lot of the cost depends on the mantel you choose. They basically just use lights and mirrors to give the "flame" effect, but they're pretty cute.

Gas or electric fireplace?

Barrycudda

We have an older model Napoleon gas 'stove' fireplace. It fits into a recessed area in the basement wall, cut into the foundation. It is about 3 feet wide, two feet deep, and goes right up to the ceiling. Lots of room for this little fireplace and the pipe.
I want to chuck this as it never did work to well, I have replaced the ignitor twice, and the vent on the outside keeps getting covered in snow putting out the pilot light.
I was thinking about getting an electric one.
A couple questions.
Should I go with another gas one, or possibly pellet or electric?
I live in western Canada so it does get used a lot-not so much for heating, but for 'warmimg up'.
Also, there will be space above it. Would it be safe to put a TV up there? It would fit nicely and look good, and free up more floor space.
Or, is an electric one a safer bet?
Thanks for your thoughts!

Answer
I have the Pellet stove in my barn office. Really like it. Burns clean and provides
great heat. I use wood in the house. I have 4 fire places in the main house.
Burn Oak only. Keep the house well hydrated. Has never let me down.

No outrageous electric or fuel cost. 100 percent clean burn and efficiency.

I am sure hydrated is not the word I want here, But you get the point.

Anywhere there's a plug. Be prepared for your heating bill. That is simply a space heater. They are not made to heat a room.

ROKU remote problem with fireplace?

I tried swamping out to a different Roku but that did not work either.

Is there a way to fix this?

Find your fireplace's remote censor and cover it with tape. Or get rid of the roku and use a computer to stream online videos to your TV. BTW, that fireplace is probably going to cause all your electronics to overheat and die early.

Is it ok to place a wall-mounted electric fireplace in the bathroom?

blesnme

Will the moisture in the bathroom affect the electric wall-mounted fireplace?

Answer
You will need to have something that is approved for use in a bathroom. That shouldn't be all that difficult as electric bathroom heaters are very common.
The important thing is to make sure you have the appropriate electrical work done.
Make sure that the approved heater is installed in the appropriate manner and that everything is safe.
We don't want anyone to be electrocuted!
If you have any doubts of questions, seek the services of a licensed electrician.
He should know the rules and regulations for this installation and be able to wire the heater in correctly.

Just a thought, this might be a fairly big job... Especially if there is no wiring available in the bathroom....

Good luck.

I Want To Buy An Electric Fireplace?

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.

Need help with my gas fireplace?

dopeness24

I have a gas fireplace I tried looking up youtube videos on how to start the pilot light but mine isn't the same. There is a key to turn on the gas on the wall and in the fire place there is two panels i can open one has a red valve knob and the other has some electric box thing that has a little knob i can turn on and off. There is also another on and off switch not in the bottom compartment but at the bottom of the fireplace. In the front of the fireplace there is some knob that turns on some kind of fan.Please help thanks.

Answer
Open the fireplace damper. Make sure the flue is free of obstructions and soot buildup. Turn the wall key counterclockwise to open the gas to the fireplace. Turn the red valve knob until it is parallel to the gas line. Light a long fireplace match or use a long log-lighter, holding the flame near the burner-turn the on-off knob "on" until you hear the gas blowing through the logs. The fireplace should ignite immediately. Adjust the flame to your liking with the on-off knob.

Questions on how to put electrical wiring in a home, please help...?

jjkk

We need to make sure that we are doing things up to code. So if you can help us with these questions it would really help. How far do you put the light switchs and the plug ins from the floor? Can I go from the GFCI RECEPTCAL in the bathroom to the outside plug on the porcch and does it got to be protected by the $35 breaker? Or if you have anything else that u want to tell us please help.
It has to be inspected so there cant be a fire.

Answer
If you want to make sure you are doing things to code, then you should invest and read the 2011 National Electric Code [NFPA 70].

Switch and receptacle heights are generally not regulated by code. There are just rules of thumb and common sense applications. Typically, switches are set between 40 and 48 inches from the floor. Receptacles are generally placed at 16 to 20 inches from the floor. In all living spaces, there must be one receptacle within 6 feet of any wall break (door, fireplace, hall, etc.) and be within 12 feet of the next receptacle location.

Bathroom GFCI receptacles are required to be on a separate 20 amp circuit that feeds no other outlets. The outside receptacles (also GFCI protected) must be on a different circuit from the bathroom circuit. The breakers does not need to be of a GFCI type as long as the receptacles are GFCI rated (which is usually the cheaper option).

Since you do not have the familiarity with the electrical codes, you would be well advised to consult with a licensed electrician. There are many outfits that will do walkthroughs to point out deficiencies for a modest fee. Electrical inspectors in most areas will only tolerate so much before red tagging your build if you try to use them to point out your mistakes.

space heaters compared to fireplace heaters?

Chloe

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?

Anny

(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.

How do I turn on my electric fireplace ?

Q. OHK...So there is a knob that has Off-On-Ign-Pilot and then another to the right that has nothing on it but it turns...maybe for the high-medium-low...idk but anyways it's supposedly on because i turned something in the wall, but now idk what to do help !(: I need to get this thingy on lol(: 10 pnts for whoever gives me the answer that may help !(: Thanks(:

Answer
An electric fire place usually comes with a key that is used to turn a knob near the fire place letting gas in. Turning the knob to the left closes the gas, turning it to the right opens the gas, a switch is for the fire to be turned on after the gas is on. If the switch doesn't work then maybe BEFORE you turn on the gas, light a match (BE CAREFUL) and leave it in the fire place where the gas comes in. THEN, turn on the gas which will light the fire place. PLEASE BE CAREFUL because there are a lot of accounts where people light the match thinking that the gas is off when it is really on and end up burning themselves. I would recommend talking to a Professional about this issue before attempting anything.

What kind of heating can I expect from an electric fireplace?

I was planning on adding another electric heater to my house but the electric fireplace will only be a few hundred more. Some models say they heat 400 sq. feet and it will look great in my bedroom.


Im planning on getting one that I can hold a tv and other media devices too. Anyone with experience with a website or a department store? Thanks.

Answer
