Most electric fireplace TV stands give off heat, but a small number of models may not produce supplementary heat and instead offer more realistic flame effects. Always check the model of electric fireplace TV stand for confirmation that supplementary heat is provided before purchasing.
Electric fireplace TV stands will usually provide supplementary heat in addition to the flame effects in the form of a heater built into the electric fireplace insert.
The heater itself will either be in form of an infrared heater or a conventional space heater with blower and heating element.
Our electric fireplace TV stand uses an infrared quartz heater to provide the supplementary heat, which is located at the top of electric insert on our unit and provides an orange glow when on.
You can check whether an electric fireplace TV stand provides heat by looking at either the webpage or the box, where it should be stated that it provides ‘supplementary heat’ or words to that effect.
