Do electric fireplaces really look real?

August 25th, 2010
Richie Rich asked:


The ones I saw at walmart and homedepot look like crap. I looked online and some some from a company called Dimplex that looks pretty real. Has anyone bought one of these? Do they look real? I don’t want to be be embarrassed with some piece of crap that I bought online and can’t return. Does anyone have any other companies to suggest? Thanks.

Any suggestions how to start my fireplace that is neither gas or electric?

August 23rd, 2010
It’s me! asked:


We just bought a house and the fireplace is neither gas or electric. Do I just put wood in the fireplace and open the damper. This is the first house I ever owned with a fireplace. We live in Southern California and it only gets cold in the winter. But I just want to prepare myself. Don’t want to burn the house down or smoke the house if you get my drift. Any suggestions how to start my fireplace that is neither gas or electric?

What is the point of gas fireplaces?

August 15th, 2010
Ehehdogeh asked:


I can understand natural FP’s as a source of heat because it uses wood…..you can save on your gas/electric bill.

But do gas fireplaces serve any purpose for heating that couldn’t be served just as well by your furnace or even a space heater?

I guess I get the decor factor….I’m just wondering about their functionality as a heat source.

Do gel fireplaces produce heat?

August 1st, 2010
wiccangal asked:


I was thinking about getting an electric fireplace. However, I live in a mobile home and I am not sure about the wiring because it is pretty old. I like the idea of a gel fireplace too, but does it produce heat? Is it safe, does it cause fumes and does it run at all on electricity?

Aldi electric fireplace noise?

August 1st, 2010
samantha6676 asked:


Our electric fireplace we bought from aldi makes this annoying banging and rattling noise and the only way to fix it is if we wedge something underneath the bottom of the heater to elevate it to one side. then after a while we have to adjust it because its then thrown a tanty at being at that angle. has anyone had this problem with their heaters and if so how did you fix it?
