    13:25 electric fireplaces starts - I want a minimal depth focal wall with a linear fireplace with tv over top for my family room. I'm thinking differently now from watching these videos, if you are looking for electric heat source as well, build out your "fake fireplace wall" with a baseboard heater at the bottom ( leave a gap under the fireplace wall for the baseboard heater and just have the electric fireplace for aesthetics). These electric fireplaces are just not there yet with heat technology. Plus I have no water source for a vapor install in this location. I'm in Canada, Arizona made products probably don't factor in use in -20°C climate.
    These fireplaces seem quite gimicy and just focus on the Walt Disney World looking flame colour, bed and background options, it's basically an expensive lamp.
    How about a horizontal water bubble wall feature with heat or something like a lava lamp instead of trying to make a "realistic- looking" electrical fireplace flame? The flames don't look that great even on the nice models.
    I will inset my television and use some led strips around the perimeter of it to play with some fun(ny) colour options at a much lower cost. Sorry guys, I am not sold on this technology, all of these manufacturers miss the mark on heat.

    When he got to cost I assumed I would find out what these units cost since he was very informative on the other subjects.

    Which fireplace was shown at the 20:30 mark?

    I had mostly 2 gas fireplaces 23 years. With reno my den now has electric. My bedroom has gas with battery start, in case of a prolonged power outage.

    I was hoping to hear a comparison on the cost of operating them. Which one cost less to use, gas or electric?

    • @embersliving
      @embersliving  ปีที่แล้ว

      it really varies by area and cost of your utilities, for example, NG just doubled in denver, and now is the same price as electric roughly

    • @MrEZBee
      @MrEZBee ปีที่แล้ว

      One cubic meter of NG contains ~10 kWh of energy. They operate at different efficiencies: natural vent (50 to 60%), direct vent (60 to 80%), ventless (near 100%, higher risk, may be illegal where you live). Electric is 100%. Gas will output far more than electric (~3x more, or ~0.6 to ~0.9 kwh), but can over heat the room. Electric may have lower operating cost due to the reduced output even at max.

    Hello. I am just coming across this video. Thanks for the information. I am considering an electric fireplace for an outdoor fireplace because I don’t want to incur the the costs for install and permits for gas. What is the electric fireplace around the 20:01 mark that looked like flames between logs? Is it rated for outdoors?

    • @embersliving

      The one at 20:01 is the Dimplex Revillusion. Before the is the Optimyst. We have a ton of top 5 electric fireplaces videos here is our newest one : th-cam.com/video/4R56cEETNag/w-d-xo.html

    what I don't get is the point in having a cool wall for a gas fireplace. if its only for visual purposes then doesn't it make sense to just get an electrical one?

    • @embersliving

      well the heat still comes out that vent so you still get more heat

They also sell water skis and tanning lotion in Denver. Denver has a summertime... people build homes in the summer around Denver... does he need to have snowboots and a parka on? Not to mention he has 900000 fireplaces going in one room...im betting its 85 degrees in there and 15 outside... but what does it matter?
