What you get
The Electactic RFH-3601LC Wall Electric Fireplace is a wall or recessed with a 750-watt heater, which works out to about 2,559 BTU per hour (3.412 BTU per watt).
At 750 watts it uses about 0.8 kWh an hour on high and draws 6.2 amps at 120 volts; keep it on a circuit without other big loads. Price it at your electricity rate.
The maker says it heats up to 400 square feet; as with any 120-volt heater, read that as supplemental heat for one room.
The listing states 12 flame settings, and like most electric fireplaces the flame can run with the heat off.
It mounts on or recesses into a wall; recessed installs need a framed opening and, for larger units, the wiring its manual specifies.
Electric fireplaces burn nothing, so they produce no carbon monoxide and need no vent, chimney or gas line.
Also on the listing: overall dimensions of 3.86 in (D) x 36 in (W) x 18.11 in (H), a shipping or unit weight of 28.7 lb and metal, tempered glass construction.
