Electric Fireplace Keeps Shutting Off?

January 19th, 2012
atucker716 asked:


I have a charmglow 23in electric fireplace. Everything works fine but the heat. It powers up fine, fake flames work, it has a turn knob to set the temperature, but when I push the HEAT switch to ON, you can hear the heater working and see the heating coils turn red but within 15 - 20 seconds you hear a loud click noise and the coils turn off and no heat is produced. Does anyone know what this could be and what parts I might need to repair this. Thank you very much in advance.

this is a fireplace that plugs directly into a wall outlet.

is there away to hook an electric fireplace into a baseboard heating system?

January 18th, 2012
asked:


I have a baseboard heating system which was installed many years ago. It is underneath a window, but was not centered and is kind of an eye soar. I was thinking about trying to reinstall it, but have become aware of electric heating systems that are made to look like a fireplace. Most of the ones I find look like they just plug into a wall outlet, but I was wondering if there are some you can buy that can be wired into the preexisting baseboard hook up. I’m not wanting to go over $400 and would love to get one close to $200 :D If you know of a system I can buy or away to hook a plug-in one into the system please let me know :)

is it more cost efficient to run an electric fireplace or central heat?

January 18th, 2012
UNCCHgirl asked:


we moved into our apt in June so it will be our first winter there. Its a brand new (so it should have the better windows and what-not) apt on the 3rd floor. We run the a/c on 74 degrees and our bill is about $65/month.

For the winter we were thinking of getting an electric fireplace. We found a small one that’s a 1500 watts and heats about 400 sq. feet. Any advice on whether I should run the heat or get an electric fireplace? if a fireplace is better what I should look for in one?

thanks

Is a baseboard heater or electric fireplace under my new Plasma TV going to cause damage and which is better?

January 10th, 2012
owen h asked:


I live in Mass. and its just getting too cold for my space heater in my bedroom. I can install a baseboard heater but the only wall it can go on is right under my Plasma TV.

The electric fireplace would also go right under the Plasma but since the TV is mounted it would vent out the heat approx. 18in in front instead of right under it like the baseboard heater.

I know heat next to electronics is not a good idea and i think the electric fireplace would be safer for the TV since the heat is farther away. I will still need an additional heat source from a space heater since they dont punch out much heat but thats ok.

thanks a lot for any help…i need it!

I scorched a part of my area rug when I was testing out my new electric fireplace. How do I fix it?

January 7th, 2012
Nene asked:


I put my new electric fireplace (Dimplex Sahara model) on my area rug to try it out. The heat comes out the bottom, but I had no idea how hot it would get. It got REALLY hot REALLY fast, and though I only had it on for about two minutes, it scorched my area rug. The fibers are all matted together, but it didn’t burn it enough to leave a black mark or anything. Can this be fixed? And if so, how?
