I has a setting to emit heat if you want or just the "glow" of the logs without any heat coming out. With a toddler at home it has been awesome having an electric fireplace that we don't have to worry about his with or gate off. We get the benefit of the look of the fireplace with out the dangers to our little curious kiddo. We also didn't want to pay for propane when the rest of the house is geothermal/ electric. <br /><br />We have been SO HAPPY that we went with SIPS. Our heating bills are low and the house feels so solid and it went together so fast. Glad you are doing SIPs too!<br /><br />For the windows we went with Jeld Wen prairie style windows. They look great but we did have to replace one this year due to faulty sealant that was letting ice in between the panes. They replaced it no problem.

Trying to decide between electric and propane (we too were planning to be all electric, but then I decided I wanted a fireplace and am leaning towards propane, but did look at some electric.) Also, curious what kind of windows you put in (we are also planning on an SIP house, walls and roof.)Sara Smokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14202254942735430492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173753018778314954.post-76340863082703496692014-02-08T22:23:03.440-05:002014-02-08T22:23:03.440-05:00Thanks Marco!

I was here that evening after work to check it out but did not get to see the building process. We have it painted with a high gloss white paint which gives it a hard, almost enameled look.
