Small Electric Fireplace Heaters
When first asked what we thought the best small electric fireplace heaters were – we said ‘oh-oh’.
These electric fireplace are great if you are challenged for space, need a little heat and want something fun to look at.
An electric fireplace is a delicate balance between flame effects and providing heat as well as creating mood and ambiance.
A small electric fireplace heater may provide less heat than a full size fireplace. These typically they will warm a a small bedroom, dorm room, trailer or RV, usually rated at ‘up to 300 square feet’.
The good news is these are really small. Many no wider than a foot long ruler. They can easily sit on an end table, dresser or counter. Also of the five we have selected only one is over $100. They are very budget friendly.
These units will work well for you if you need some extra heater and would like something nice to look at rather than a plain heater. All in all the flame effects are fun to look at. They create a calm cozy mood.
A number of factors weighed in on our decision to pick the best small electric fireplace heaters. Here are some of the criteria we used:
- We looked at the overall size of the unit.
- We looked at the heating capability.
- We looked at overall actual buyers satisfaction and the reviews
- We looked at the price and value
We hope you have an enjoyable browse in the right direction to purchase an electric fireplace that will fully meet your needs and your budget.
