This is enough to take the chill off of a small area or office. Certain models are powered by 240 volts by a dedicated line. These units typically have a stronger heater that can generate up to 5000 BTU's in an hour. This is enough to warm a large or medium space, but you'll require a lower flame setting and set the thermostat a little higher. + +Electric fireplaces cost between 8 and 9 cents per hour to run flames, and up to $100 per year to run the flames and the heater.

MagikFlame electric fireplaces, for example typically list their BTU capacity in the description or details of each model to ensure customers are aware of the amount of heat they generate. + +A typical 5,000 Btu fireplace can be used to heat the area of about 400 sq feet. However larger homes and rooms with higher ceilings may require a larger-powered unit that generates more heat to effectively warm the space. + +Electric fireplaces generate heat using two distinct principles that are convection or radiant heating. The former works by blowing hot air into the room through top vents, which then warms the objects and people that are in its path. The latter makes use of infrared light to heat the surfaces of the furniture and people in the room, and then radiates the warmth into the surrounding areas. + +Electric fireplaces produce flame effects using mirrors and LEDs. This creates a realistic effect.
