- Does it need to be vented or hardwired?
- No. It is a freestanding electric fireplace, so it plugs in and needs no chimney, vent or gas line. Place it against a wall with access to an outlet.
- Can I use the flames without the heat?
- Most electric fireplaces of this type let you run the flame effect on its own, and the remote suggests separate controls. Check the unit's controls for a flame-only setting before relying on it.
- How much space does it need?
- It is 43.31 inches wide, so plan for a wall stretch at least that wide plus clearance at the sides and back for the cord and airflow. It stands on the floor rather than hanging on the wall.
- Is it meant to heat a whole room?
- Treat it as supplemental heat and ambience. Electric fireplaces of this size warm the area in front of them; they do not replace a furnace or a wood stove.
- What is in the box?
- The fireplace unit and a remote control. Cords and any mounting hardware for the freestanding base come with the unit; confirm the exact contents on the packaging.
- Where is the Electactic 43.31-in Pearlwhite Free Standing Quartz Fireplace cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $329.99, as of our latest check.
