What is an Electric Fireplace Heater?
An electric fireplace heater is a versatile solution that combines two essential functions: creating a beautiful fireside ambience and providing efficient supplemental heat. Operating entirely on electricity, these heaters feature a built-in heating element with an output of up to 2,000 watts (2 kW). This makes them ideal as a secondary heat source for cooler days and evenings. Dimplex electric fireplace heaters also include a thermostat, ensuring your room stays at a constant, comfortable temperature without wasting energy.
The Dimplex Advantage: You can enjoy the flame effects and heating independently. On a warm summer evening, indulge in the glow of the fire without the heat. In winter, activate the heater for full comfort.
