Do Wall Mounted Fireplaces Give off Heat

They can provide anywhere from 4,000 to 5,000 BTU/h of heating output. That enough to heat areas of about 400-450 sq ft on their own. In practice, wall mounted electric fireplaces can create a warm atmosphere and serve as supplemental zone heating to the central heating system.

Some come with thermostats to maintain a steady temperature in the room, while others feature basic heat-level settings.
