Electric Fireplaces are the hottest (pun intended) item in home appliances right now. Want to know why? Everyone wants to save a bit of money where they can. Since electric fireplaces use about as much electricity as any other appliance, it costs pennies to run an electric fireplace. Whereas using central heating can really rack up your electric bill. Using an electric fireplace in tandem with your central heating means your heater won’t have to work as hard to heat the house. You’ll see the difference on your electric bill. Traditional wood burning fireplaces are messy and not always usable. Whether you rent or own your home, an electric fireplace is the inexpensive solution to many of your heating woes!
In addition to being cost efficient, electric fireplaces are considered more eco-friendly than traditional fireplaces. This is because there is no carbon or fume exhaust from electric fireplace use. Many new electric fireplaces are made from earth-friendly materials, like recycled wood, infrared quartz, and long-lasting LED lights. Ready to make the switch or add an electric fireplace to your home? Here are some of the best electric fireplaces to heat your home this season.

Modern electric fireplaces are so much safer, cleaner, and more ecofriendly than their sooty counterparts, that the switch is an easy choice. However, the question about how much space do you need around a fireplace remains. At PortableFireplaces.com, we want our customers to feel informed about their purchases. We put together this guide to help you figure out how much space you’ll need around electric fireplaces, and more!
When updating your outdoor space, the big question is how to keep the area warm and safe while also keeping costs down? Whether you’re looking to update your home patio or your business’ outdoor area, there are two main options for heating a patio: patio heaters and firepits.
When temperatures drop, having an outdoor heating source means everyone can enjoy the outdoors longer without a fireplace, which can be expensive, or digging a massive firepit which can be messy, dangerous, and expensive. Let’s take a look at patio heaters and firepits individually to see which fits your needs the best.
Patio Heater or Firepit?
Take your patio or backyard to the next level with these tips.
Patio Heaters
Patio heaters are commonly used at events and outdoor sections of restaurants, since they are capable of heating a large area at once. Patio heaters use either fuel or electricity. Patio heaters are safe to use around children and pets; there are no flying sparks or embers. Safety features like automatic shut off, are key. Low maintenance and quick heating, patio heaters are an ideal choice for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors year-round.

Some models are safe for tent and garage usage, for parties and events, but not all. The most common style of patio heater is pole style, but other styles include wall mounted, table top, and flame heaters.

Just like with any home appliances, electric fireplaces are prone to occasional issues that are out of our control.

Frozen Flame
Frozen flame refers to a flame mechanism that looks okay, but isn’t actually functioning. There are several causes for this. Luckily, this is usually easily remedied. Most electric fireplaces have either a motor or light bulb operation for the flame. Newer electric fireplaces tend to use candelabra lightbulbs. Learn how to replace burnt light bulbs in your fireplace here.
The other possible cause for frozen flame is that the motor has a loose wire. Check all wiring (with fireplace unplugged) to make sure all connections have good contact.
Look for exposed, frayed, or misplaced wires.
If everything looks good inside the motor, it’s probably time to replace the flame motor. Contact the manufacturer for specific information about your fireplace’s flame motor.
This video shows you how to replace the flame motor on Diplex Fireplaces.
A beautiful fireplace adds a glow, a warm ambiance to any room, home, or business. Some people view the ash, smoke, and carbon emissions of live fireplaces as a drawback and opt for other options instead.

At PortableFireplace.com, we pride ourselves in being the experts in electric and bio-ethanol fireplaces for your home and businesses. Today, we’re going to cover the trendy water vapor fireplace, which is powered by electricity and steam.
