Frequently asked in Philadelphia

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

For some Philadelphia residents, the primary consideration is that electric fireplaces are generally best for supplemental heating rather than being the sole heat source for larger homes. The 'fire' is a visual effect, though it's become very realistic. However, their safety, ease of use, and ambiance make them a popular choice.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

Are electric fireplaces a good idea?

Electric fireplaces are an excellent idea for many Philadelphia homeowners and renters. They offer a safe, vent-free way to enjoy the ambiance and supplemental warmth of a fireplace, especially in older homes or apartments where traditional fireplaces might not be feasible. They are easy to install and maintain.

What's the most realistic looking electric fireplace?

Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?

Yes, an electric fireplace insert is a fantastic idea for Philadelphia homes with existing, but unused, fireplaces. It's a simple and effective way to update an old hearth, adding both visual appeal and supplemental heat without the mess or expense of other fireplace types. It's a very popular upgrade.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?
