You need one if you have a chilly basement, bedroom, or living area that needs extra heat without turning up the main thermostat. They are efficient for zone heating and allow you to enjoy the flame effect even when you do not need the heat.
Many people assume fireplaces are only for cold weather, but electric models offer year-round aesthetic benefits. During the summer, you can turn off the heating element entirely and simply enjoy the ambiance of the dancing flames.
