We bought an electric fireplace for the living room last year. It has a adjustments for heat level and blower speed. The manual says it is best used in an area of less than 400 sq ft in size. During the course of the evening it will heat the living room up 2 maybe 3 degrees higher. The unit did require a separate dedicated wall outlet. When we had SECO do an energy audit in October they told us it cost $0.17 per hour to run the fireplace and he suggested running it while we were in the living room to cut down of the house heat on cold nights.
