Do electric fireplaces produce any heat?
All of the electric fireplaces and stove we carry come with heaters – typically around 4,500 BTU’s. The fireplaces can be run with the flames and with or without the heater on. Some models of fireplaces can be wired to 240 volts and boost the heat output up to 10,000 BTUs. Back to top. If I want to convert my wood-burning fireplace to gas, what are the differences between gas logs and gas inserts? The decision of how to convert your wood burner really comes down to how much heat you would like. If you want to maximize the amount of heat from your fireplace, you should install a direct vent gas insert. Inserts are more costly than gas logs, but are also much more efficient. An insert will typically pay for itself after a few years in gas bill savings. Gas logs do provide a small amount of heat, but operate on much the same system as the existing wood burner. The pros of log sets are the convenience and appearance. We carry both and can help you evaluate your specific needs. Back to top.
