There are tons of electric fireplaces on the market - here's link to some that Penney's has. Also check out Home Depot & Lowe's.

How to get rid of the film on the glass on a electric fireplace ?

Dillon

I took off the glass on the fireplace to see if I could clean it with just water. And once it dries It goes right back to where it was with that film on it. I really want to figure out how to remove it. Someone please help me.

Answer
A product called Soot Out...Should do the trick,, find a store that sells wood burning stove etc, they carry such a product, it may have other names but they are all the same. Look in places like Lowe's and Walmart and home depot. You can also try, Vinegar & Water.

Thinking of buying an electric fireplace?

Q. who has one and how did you decide on the right one?

Answer
I got one last year at Costco's. I had wanted a fireplace for a long time but since a real one was out of the question I got an electric one. It also has a heater in it that blows out hot air. It was a good price and I didn't have to buy the mantel piece seprately(like I would have had to if I went to Lowe's)the whole thing came together. Its a nice cherrywood and it looks good with my x-mas stockings hanging on it. I like the look of cherrywood but they come in white, black and even have onesthat will fit in the corner. Think about where it will go first and then try to picture it. Also Costcos has a lifetime warranty on all non computor items.

Electric fireplace?

Jenny

We bought a beautiful house that is perfect in every way, except for a very ugly fake fireplace. My house is traditional, but the mantel is light oak. Well, actually, it is just about perfect after I have spent 4 years and a lot of money. My last project is the fireplace, and my budget can't take a custom-made job. We are total electric so I don't have the choice of using gas. The electric fireplace w/mantel that I found at Lowe's is made of fake, cheap looking material. If I go through my decorator and her carpenter, it would be perfect, but would cost $6,000 to $10,000. I've done a lot of searching on the web, but I'm confused. I would appreciate any suggestions. My furniture is cherry, some dark antique pieces, and I have a black baby grand, so I need a fireplace that is not only functional but fits with my decor. Thanks!
There is no indention into the wall. They just put Italian marble (strange) where the fireplace would be. It's all flat with the wall. I have a hand-painted screen in front of it, but it is still a useless waste of a long wall. The dimplex is beautiful. Thanks for recommending that. Not sold here, but is available within 200 miles. Such nice people here! Some of the categories have such *angry* people. I was prepared to be insulted. :)

Answer
if you already have a fireplace replace the mantel with one that matches your decor and then just order the logs and a log stand then insert them into your fireplace and plug in when they are on they look real especially if you keep the doors closed a little no one will know we did something simualar but we made a box inserted it into the wall witch backed up to a closet and then we put the screen on and then the logs and when ever any one comes over they think that it is real cause no one looks that close to a fireplace to know if it is real or not good luck hope all works

New to Fireplaces, Help?

I'm staying in a building with a fireplace that hasn't been used since last winter. This may be a stupid question, but how do I tell if it's electric or gas?
I've got some started logs from Lowe's, after I have them in the fireplace and turn it on I can light it right?
Anything I need to know before I catch myself on fire?

Answer
if its electric you definitely can't start anything as to the smoke has no where to vent..but usually if its gas the handle and push button ignitor will be on your right side of the fireplace..and why not ask a neighbor..just to be 100% as i'm quite sure someone will more than be happy to help you rather the place go up in smoke..
