This is approximately 5100 BTU's per hour. This is enough to alleviate the chill of a small area or office. Some of the most advanced models can be connected to 240 volts via an individual line. These models have a larger heater that can generate more than 5000 BTUs in an hour. This is enough to warm up a large or medium room, but you will need to use it at a lower flame setting and set the thermostat a little higher. + +Electric fireplaces cost between 8 and 9 cents per hour to run flames and up to $100 a year to run the flames as well as the heater. This is a lot less than a natural wood or gas fireplace which could cost between 30 and 160 cents per hour with a heater turned on at its most extreme setting. + +Apart from the cost savings Electric fireplaces do not emit harmful fumes or soot like gas or wood fireplaces and can provide relief for those with asthma or other breathing disorders.

MagikFlame for instance will often mention the BTU capacity of their electric fireplaces in the product description or in the details to ensure that buyers know how much heat it can produce. + +A typical 5,000 Btu fireplace can heat the area of about 400 sq ft. However larger rooms and homes with higher ceilings may require a higher-powered unit that generates more heat to efficiently warm the room. + +Electric fireplaces generally operate on two different principles to generate heat that is convection and radiant heat. The top vents blast hot air into the room, which heats the objects and people it passes through. The second uses infrared heat to heat the surface of furniture and people, and then radiates warmth into the surrounding area. + +The most common method that an electric fireplace creates flame effects is through the use of LED mirrors and lights to create a lifelike effect. The most advanced models, however, often use water vapor systems that creates a realistic smoke effect which looks so realistic, guests are likely to take a second look when they first see it. + +No matter what kind of heat that electric fireplaces generate the majority of models offer various features that allow you to customize your experience with it.

To ensure that it is not damaged, ensure that the fireplace is attached properly to the wall. Also, ensure that the fireplace doesn't come into contact with combustible material, and also that it does not block the vents which release hot air. + +When not in use the fireplace should be disconnected. It is recommended to speak with an electrical service provider for residential use in the event of making any electrical or mechanical changes to the heater, since this can help reduce the risk of accidents. + +It is also a good idea to inspect the power cord for signs of wear and tear. These should be replaced if they become visibly worn or damaged. The fireplace should never be installed in damp areas like bathrooms, laundry gardens, yards, or even the laundry room. + +Design + +Imagine snuggling into a comfortable chair with an e-book and a hot chocolate cup, with the flickering flames of a fireplace nearby. This is possible by using an electric fireplace heater. They are basically heaters that mimic the appearance of real fire using LED lighting and mirrors to create a realistic glow. Some even feature an air vapor system to create a smoke effect that looks almost authentic. + +In addition to creating the illusion of fire, an electric fireplace also produces heat through fanned air circulation. This makes them more flexible than traditional fireplaces that rely on gas or wood that must be kept a certain distance away from flammable materials and come with safety precautions such as ventilation.
