Electric Fireplaces are in inexpensive way to heat your home. Typically they are less expensive to operate than gas or electric furnaces.

To determine the cost of running your electric fireplace, you would need to know the watts per hour that it uses and times that by your electric companies rate. That would give you a base price, as utility companies add on extra charges. Also, if you run it constantly, it will cost more.

I turn mine on first thing in the morning until the house is comfortable then, shut it down til the evening. If it is a particularly cold day, I start on high and then turn it to low, and keep the furnace on 65.
