What has been your experience with an electric fireplace?
Electric fireplace comes with many types and shapes. You need to select a best model according to your personal preferences, like- freestanding or wall mounting or fireplace with tv stand. Freestanding fireplaces are best option for portability. These are also cost effective and provide sufficient heat to your room. On the other hand, wall mount electric fireplace are best for people with very limited space. Because, they can be recessed into the wall. I have been using **Chazelles Fireplace’**s Multi 49 model. This type of fireplace are cozy and cheaper than the freestanding version. If you’ve sufficient space available in your living room, then you may like the fireplace with tv stand models. They looks pretty cool. I personally own a fireplace with tv center. Visit them @ www chazellesfireplaces com au

It is like a metal box with a chimney flue. Its big advantage is compared to a fireplace. In a fireplace, a huge fraction of the heat goes up the chimney and you only get heat if you stand in front of it. The Franklin stove can be in the center of the room and warm the room in all directions.
My fireplace is losing too much heat up the chimney. Is there a way to delfect it?
You ARE going to lose heat up the chimney. Couple of things you can do to keep SOME of it in the room. Got a set of doors for the fireplace? They need to be open while burning, but can be closed as fire goes out, keep from sucking warm air out of the room. There are heat exchangers that are metal tubes with a fan. Tubes heated by the fire, fan pushes air thru the tubes, out into the room. The "Heatilator" style fireplaces have a heat exchanger built in to the fireplace. The heat exchangers are not cheap, and are still not as efficient as a wood stove.
WHY ELECTRIC ROOM HEATER HAVE MIRROR BEHIND THE HEATING COIL?

Why does the gas log fireplace not heat a room?
It's most likely a woodburning/vented fireplace, by design the combustion air used to burn gas logs comes directly from the room, and all the fumes/hot air go up the chimney. The fireplace actually pulls outside air into the home to replace the air lost up the chimney. All the heat is radient, so if nothing is there the feel the heat, it is lost.
