Frequently asked in Knoxville

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

While electric fireplaces offer convenience and ambiance, the main downside can be the heat output, which is often supplemental rather than a primary heat source for a whole Knoxville home. Some also find the flame realism varies by model. The pros can help you choose a unit that best suits your expectations for warmth and visual appeal.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

The electricity usage for an electric fireplace in Knoxville depends on whether you're running the heat or just the flame effect. The flame effect uses very little power, similar to a few light bulbs. Running the heater will consume more, comparable to a space heater. The pros can give you an idea of typical consumption based on the unit you're considering.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?
