Many people do not realize you can use an electric fireplace all summer. Most models allow you to turn off the heating element entirely while keeping the flame effects running. This creates a pleasant, relaxing aesthetic for your living room or basement without adding any unwanted heat to your home during the warmer months of the year.
The main downside is that they don't produce the same intense heat as a gas or wood fireplace. While they can warm a room, they're often best as supplemental heat sources. You might also find the realism of the flame varies between models. However, for many Santa Rosa homes, the convenience outweighs these minor drawbacks.
It depends on the model and how you use it. The flame effect uses very little electricity, comparable to a few light bulbs. The heating element will use more, similar to a space heater.
