The main downside is that they usually provide supplemental heat rather than being a primary heat source for larger rooms in Sacramento. Some people also find the flame effect less realistic than a real fire, although advancements are constantly being made.
Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?
The heater function can use a fair amount of electricity, similar to a space heater. However, running just the flame effect for ambiance is very energy efficient. You can choose to use the heat or just the visual effect to manage electricity use in your Sacramento home.
