One of our amazing TV stands with a realistic LED fireplace insert is perfect for when you love your sports and other TV and miss the holiday
spirit of your old hearth. You get all the screen action from your set AND a
safe, adjustable, and picturesque source of heat! But the selection of TV
stands and fireplace options is so wide you might be suffering from “information
overload.” In this month’s blog post for the fall and winter gathering seasons,
we’ll give you some advice that’s served our customers well over the years.
How Much Space Will Your LED Fireplace Insert Heat?
A primary consideration for your new fireplace TV stand is
the size of the room you need to heat. These heat sources don’t need venting
outside or fuel. Plus they’re economically designed so your electric bill won’t
skyrocket. You have two choices for fireplace inserts’ heating element, forced
fan or infrared. Forced-fan fireplace inserts are best for small spaces as they
heat 400 square feet. Infrared heating elements warm 1,000 square feet so if
you’ve got a big living room, this is the way to go. Another factor is whether
your room has a high ceiling or many windows. Insulating the latter will mean
more efficient heating.
Other Fireplace TV Stand Considerations
Don’t forget to check a TV stand’s weight rating to see if
it can accommodate your set. This isn’t usually a problem as most stands can
hold up to 200 lbs. For extra support, especially if you have curious
youngsters, secure your new TV stand to the wall. While our UL-listed fireplace
units are safe, keep a fire extinguisher handy and make sure anything that can catch
fire such as rugs are at least 3 feet from your fireplace unit. Make sure
nothing obstructs your LED fireplace’s air intake or exhaust vents. And turn
off your unit when nobody is in the room, and unplug it overnight or if you’ll
be away from home for the weekend.
