How much is your electric heating bill every month?

Juicy Supe

Im looking to buy a house but it has electric heating.
I live in Md as well and everyone keeps saying that electric heating is more expensive... I just didnt know how true that is.

Answer
I live in denmark, and we don't use our radiators. We use a fireplace, and then just have lights, an electric stove, and a hot water heater that uses electricity. Our electric bill is about 1900 kroners every 3 months, which is about 320 dollars.

To cut down on your heating bill, try not to set the heat above a certain temperature.

Wear long sleeves when it's cold out, or drink hot tea, coffee, etc.

Always have a couple fleece blankets in your home on the couch/chair to cover up with when you get chilly. This will save on your electric bill so it's not quite so high :)

I Want To Buy An Electric Fireplace?

Q. 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

wood pellet electric fireplace?

jbarker

i have an electric wood pellet burning fireplace. its cold i want to use it and i dont know how. can someone help me? dont have insructions and too late to call landlord. please help me.

Answer
There should be a hopper into which you pour the pellets, the easiest way to get the fire started is with a "starter stick", you can get them at any stove/fireplace shop or a place like Home Depot. Put one of those and a few pellets along with a little newspaper to get it going. There should be a timer on the stove to regulate the flow of the pellets. To make things even easier look in the Yellow Pages under stoves and call them with the make & model you have, they may have an owners manual for your type of stove.

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.
Must be walking down Alz and Heimer blvd.
