Frequently asked in Aurora
What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

Some users also find the flame effect less authentic than real fire. However, for many Aurora homeowners, the ease of use and safety are major advantages.
Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?
The visual flame effect uses very little energy, comparable to a standard light bulb. The heater uses more power, but it's designed for efficient zone heating. You can enjoy the flame effect without the heat, which is useful for Aurora's milder days. The pros can provide specific energy consumption details for your chosen model.

What's the most realistic looking electric fireplace?
Modern electric fireplaces use advanced LED technology to create highly realistic flame effects, often with multiple flame speeds, colors, and ember bed glows.
