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. Some people also find the flame effect less realistic than other types. However, for supplemental heat and ambiance, they're a great option, especially in a dense city like Tallahassee where outdoor space might be limited.
It depends on usage. The flame effect uses very little power, comparable to a few LED bulbs. The heating element uses more, similar to a small space heater. For a room in Tallahassee, you can expect it to add to your bill if used frequently on high heat, but it's generally efficient for zone heating.
