- Does it heat without the flames on?
- Yes. The heater and flame effect run on separate settings, so you can use heat alone or flames alone.
- How much space does it heat?
- At 1400W it is meant for a single room, roughly 400 square feet. It works best as supplemental heat rather than a primary source.
- Does it need to be vented or hardwired?
- No. It is freestanding and plugs into a standard outlet, so no venting or wiring is needed.
- Can I change the flame color?
- The multicolor version offers adjustable flame brightness and color settings through the controls or remote.
- How loud is it?
- The flame effect is silent, but owners report the heater fan is clearly audible when heat is on.
- Is it safe around kids and pets?
- It is a standard electric unit with a cool-to-touch exterior, but the front grille warms up, so keep small children from leaning on it.
- Where is the Costway 27 Inches Electric Fireplace Heater 1400W cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $199.98, as of our latest check.
