Frequently asked in Dallas

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

One potential downside of an electric fireplace is that the heat output might not be sufficient as a primary heat source for larger Dallas homes. While flame effects are becoming more realistic, some individuals still prefer the look of a real fire. However, for ambiance and supplemental heat, they are excellent.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

Electric fireplaces use electricity for both their heating function and the visual flame effect. The heater can consume a comparable amount of energy to a space heater. The flame effect itself uses very little power. The overall electricity usage depends on the model and how frequently it's used for heating. Dallas pros can help you select efficient units.
