Frequently asked in New Orleans

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 fireplaces, making them better for supplemental warmth or ambiance. Some users also find that the visual realism of the flames can vary by model. However, for many New Orleans residents, the convenience and ease of installation are significant advantages. Discuss your heating needs with the pros.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

When the heating element is active, an electric fireplace uses roughly the same amount of electricity as a standard space heater. The flame effect itself consumes very little power. For most homes in New Orleans, this is a manageable cost, especially when used for targeted comfort. Many models allow you to enjoy the visual flame without engaging the heater. Ask the pros about energy efficiency.
