Most electric fireplaces use a 5,000 BTU, 1500 watt ceramic heater as the source of heat for the fireplace, with a fan blower to expel the heat into the room through the vent at the top or bottom. These fireplaces and stoves are not designed to be your primary source of heat, but very effectively provide supplemental heat for spaces up to about 450 sq. ft. A few do heat larger spaces from about 650 to 1,000 sq. ft.
Since the structure of the fireplace, whether it’s a mantel or media console, doesn’t heat up during use, electric fireplaces are safe to place on carpeted floors and will not harm hardwood or tile flooring.
Since electric fireplaces are basically space heaters, it is all right to leave them on overnight if the space where it is located needs the supplemental heat. It would not be advisable to leave them on when you leave the home or building where it is located.
No, electric fireplaces cannot be converted to gas because electric fireplaces are not made to withstand actual flames; instead they are a combination of a heater and a fire-like display case to create the illusion of flames. In addition, electric fireplaces are not vented; however gas fireplaces must be vented.
