What you get
The Dimplex XHD26G Electric Fireplace TV Stand is a TV stand or mantel with a 1,500-watt heater, which works out to about 5,118 BTU per hour (3.412 BTU per watt).
Its 1,500 watts means 12.5 amps on a household outlet and 1.5 kWh for each hour on high. The fuel cost calculator turns that into your hourly cost.
Like most electric fireplaces the flame effect can run with the heater off, using far less power.
It combines the heater with a cabinet, mantel or TV stand; check the top's weight and screen-size limits in the listing.
No combustion means no venting, no gas line and no carbon monoxide, which is why they go into bedrooms and apartments.
Also on the listing: overall dimensions of 8 in (D) x 26 in (W) x 19 in (H), a shipping or unit weight of 29.8 lb and metal construction.
