If you plan to install your new fireplace in an existing fireplace, be sure to measure the chimney's chimney breast and fireplace opening. Then, you can purchase an electric fireplace with a kW rating that is appropriate for the space you have.

As with almost any electrical appliance, the cost of running an electric fireplace is based on a variety of variables. The most important element is the quantity of heat it produces.

Controllability

Freestanding electric fireplaces are an excellent solution for homes that do not have chimneys or flues.

However, it's important to understand the long-term impact of energy use and how much an electric fire will cost to run in your home before you buy. Electric fires are usually measured in kW. The greater the number, the more energy they use per hour. Assessing your space and understanding the heating requirements of the area where you plan to install the fire will help you determine what kW rating you require.
