Frequently asked in Indianapolis
What is the downside of an electric fireplace?
The primary downside is that they don't produce the same intense heat as gas or wood-burning fireplaces. They're more for ambiance and supplemental heating. They won't be your main heat source during a cold Indianapolis winter, but they add great atmosphere.
Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?
The visual flame effect uses minimal electricity. The heater component uses more, similar to a portable electric heater. For taking the edge off a cool evening in your Indianapolis home, it's generally not a significant increase in your power bill.
