How to calculate the cost of an electric fireplace?

Comment calculer le coût d’une cheminée électrique ?

First of all, we need to distinguish between consumption linked to the visual and aesthetic appeal of LED lighting, which reproduces the animation of flames, and that linked to the heating system. The flames created by LED lights consume almost no electricity (no more than a dozen watts). The operation of electric heating consumes more energy, but the cost remains very advantageous compared to other heating solutions. Convector power consumption varies between 1,000 and 2,000 W, depending on the model. To calculate the cost of an electric fireplace, you’ll need to take into account not only the heating power, but also the size, features and type of model, as well as the surface area to be heated.

To put it simply, an electric fireplace consumes 1 kWh per kW. A 3 kW device therefore consumes 3 kWh. At the current price of €0.1 765 per kilowatt-hour of electricity, heating a room of around 30 m² will cost you 50 ct (cents) per hour.

An electric fireplace consumes very little energy. It’s a good alternative to gas or bioethanol fireplaces and heaters. What’s more, it has less impact on the environment than a wood-burning fireplace, which emits carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. You’ll be saving yourself from toxic, polluted air, and doing your part for the environment.
