The electricity consumption of electric fireplaces can vary depending on several factors. Factors such as operating power, usage time, and features used can affect electricity consumption. The energy efficiency of the fireplace may differ depending on the make and model.

Electric fireplaces generally consume between 1.5 and 2.5 kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy on average. This is roughly equivalent to the amount of energy consumed by an electric heater or several energy-saving light bulbs. However, these values may vary depending on the power of the fireplace, usage time and temperature settings. More energy consumption may occur if the fireplace operates at higher power levels or remains on for extended periods of time.

However, electric fireplaces are advantageous in terms of energy efficiency. Because unlike a real fireplace, most of the energy is converted into the hot air produced by the heating elements, resulting in a minimal amount of energy loss. In addition, thanks to its thermostat controls, it only works when necessary and can automatically turn off when a certain temperature level is reached, thus saving energy.

Exactly how much electricity your electric fireplace will consume may vary depending on your usage habits and electricity tariff. To improve energy efficiency when using an electric fireplace, you can make sure the room is well insulated, have the fireplace only started when needed, and optimize the temperature settings.

As a result, electric fireplaces are an energy-saving option. However, the amount of energy consumed may vary depending on your usage habits, the power of the fireplace and the features used. For more detailed information, it is important to review the energy consumption information provided by the manufacturer of the electric fireplace of your choice.
