Does it need venting or a gas line?

No. It plugs into a standard outlet and needs no vent, chimney or gas line.

Can I use the flames without heat?

Yes. The flame effect runs on its own, so you can have ambiance without warming the room.

How much space will it heat?

It is supplemental heat for a small room. At 1500 watts it won't replace a furnace or warm a large open floor plan.

Does it come with a remote?

Yes, a remote is included, and the unit also has a built-in timer.

Can it be mounted on the wall?

It is designed as a freestanding unit, so it sits on the floor against a wall rather than mounting.

How long does assembly take?

Plan for about 45 minutes to put it together.

Our take on the Lifesmart 1500-Watt 30" Electric Fireplace Heater

The Lifesmart 30-inch electric fireplace is a freestanding, wall-hugging unit that heats and shows flames without a chimney, vent or gas line. It runs up to 1500 watts with a remote and timer, and the flame effect can run with or without heat. It suits renters and apartment dwellers who want a focal point in a room and supplemental warmth, not whole-home heating. Against built-in and infrared rivals it is simpler and shallower, but it lacks a fan-driven convector and smart controls.

Cons

1500 watts heats a room only as supplemental warmth
