Nowadays, many people are interested in the possibility of installing a fireplace in their apartment.

It would seem that a solution has been found – an electric fireplace meets all the listed requirements.
If you install such a device in your home, you don’t have to worry about open fire and smoke.
Of course, an electric fireplace does not require a chimney, it is easy to install and customize according to your wishes.
However, it also has its weaknesses, namely high energy consumption.
Thus, on average, 1.5 to 1.6 kW per hour is used to “power” a fireplace. The figures are approximate, since the exact values depend on the model and settings.
However, even in this situation there is a way out - you should choose an electric fireplace with low energy consumption or a timer that will help manage electricity consumption.
