Q: Is it cheaper to run a gas fireplace or central heat?

• <div><p>Running a gas fireplace is potentially cheaper than using central heating if you are heating a single room and don&rsquo;t need to heat the entire house.

Central heating, while more efficient for whole-home warmth, uses more energy overall. Strategically using a gas fireplace, therefore, can help lower heating bills.</p></div>

Models that produce 1,500 watts will have more of an effect on your heating bill than 750-watt models. </p><p>Electric fireplaces use an average of $1.85 of electricity every eight hours. These minimal operational costs aren&rsquo;t likely to make a big difference in your electric bill&mdash;unless you&rsquo;re using it as a primary heating source for your home and it&rsquo;s running most of the time.</p></div>
