Guidelines recommend not to leave an electric fireplace space heater on while unattended, but how long can you leave an electric fireplace on for?

Electric fireplaces can be left on for as long as required. If an electric fireplace needs to be left unattended then it should be turned off before doing so.

As it’s not recommended to leave an electric fireplace on all night, a good method can be to use the heater on your electric fireplace to bring the temperature up within the room to your desired temperature before going to sleep.

Many electric fireplaces can come with an integrated thermostat allowing you to set your desired temperature for the room.

 Our electric fireplace has built-in thermostatic control allowing us to set a temperature for the room.

An electric fireplace with a thermostat will bring a room up to the set temperature and continuously turn itself on an off to keep the room at this constant temperature.

Choosing an electric fireplace with this functionality can be great in getting a room to a certain temperature before turning the fireplace off and going to sleep.
