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?

Is an electric fireplace worth it econmically?

July 29th, 2010
Joe . asked:


I live in upstate NY, I’m trying to determine is an electric fireplace can save money on my electric bill this winter.

Here is all the info about my sitution:
I live in a 1000sq Condo

electric heat via heat pump

usage during winter for heating as about 1100 KWh per month

electric is billed at $0.137 per KWh according to bill last week

I’m seeing on average electric fireplaces are about 5000BTU which use
about 1500 Kwh.

If I put the fireplace in the same room as thermoustat, my heat pump will run less, how much cooler will the rest of my condo be if I set the thermoustat at 70 degrees during the day and 60 at night

Will I save any money on electric bill my doing that

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

July 24th, 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?

Electric Fireplace. Something heat resistant to put on top?

July 18th, 2010
bvwolf22 asked:


Hi, for Christmas I got an electric fireplace and was wondering if there anything I can put on top of the fireplace that would resist the heat? I have a cat and I think she might want to jump on top of it when it’s running. I’m a bit worried that she might burn herself. The user guide said that the sides and front (duh since that’s where the vent is) get hot. Any suggestions?

For days, bees have inhabited the exterior portion of our electric fireplace (the place that says Hot Caution!) Today, they managed to come to the interior part of the electric fireplace. They cannot come into the living space of the house because there is a glass covering.
