Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

The flame effect uses minimal electricity, comparable to a few light bulbs. The heating element uses more power, similar to a space heater. For typical use in your Memphis home, the impact on your electricity bill is generally low. A pro can help you understand consumption.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?
