Many people don't realize that electric fireplaces are perfect for summer evenings.

Frequently asked in Atlanta

What kind of mantel works best for an electric fireplace in Atlanta?

The best mantel for your electric fireplace in Atlanta depends on the unit's style. For wall-mounted units, a traditional mantel might not be necessary. Freestanding units often have built-in mantels. If you're installing an insert, the existing fireplace opening or a custom surround acts as the mantel. Pros can advise on materials like wood, stone, or tile to complement your electric fireplace and Atlanta home's decor.

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

A potential downside of electric fireplaces is their heating capacity. While they offer good supplemental heat for a room, they might not be sufficient as the primary heat source for a larger Atlanta home during very cold periods. Also, using the heater will increase electricity consumption. Some people may also find the flame effect less realistic than a real fire, although modern units have significantly improved in realism.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

Electric fireplaces do use electricity, particularly when the heating function is engaged. The visual flame effect alone consumes very little power, comparable to a few LED bulbs. However, the heater draws more power, similar to a space heater. For heating a specific room, they are quite efficient. If used as the primary heat source for an entire Atlanta home, electricity usage will be higher. Pros can help you understand specific model consumption.

Are electric fireplaces a good idea for Atlanta homes?

Yes, electric fireplaces are often a good idea for Atlanta homes. They offer simple installation, usually requiring just a standard electrical outlet. You gain the aesthetic appeal of a fireplace without the need for gas lines or chimneys, which is ideal for many homes. They provide efficient supplemental heat for smaller areas. Safety is also a major benefit, making them suitable for homes with children or pets.
