Frequently asked in Las Vegas

For a Las Vegas home, they are excellent for creating a cozy mood and adding a gentle warmth to a specific room without the mess. They are not intended as a primary heat source for the entire house.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

The flame effect uses very little electricity, similar to an LED light. The heating element uses more power, comparable to a space heater. This makes them efficient for supplemental heating in a Las Vegas apartment or a specific room. You can enjoy the visual flame without using the heating function at all.
