Frequently asked in Portland

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

However, for supplemental warmth and aesthetic appeal in Portland residences, they are excellent. Call for a free quote to assess suitability.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

The flame effect consumes very little energy, similar to a standard light bulb. The heater function uses more power, comparable to a portable space heater. This makes them efficient for heating smaller spaces in Portland homes. We'll provide a free estimate to discuss power usage for your specific model.
