When it comes to maintaining comfort and warmth throughout the colder months, heating the whole house to maintain comfort is a big ask. On the other hand, zone heating is an effective strategy that lets you focus on the spaces you use the most, which can significantly reduce energy costs while providing personalized comfort.

We know that each room has unique heating needs, and we offer a range of products to ensure your home stays cozy, no matter which room you’re in. Let’s explore the best heating solutions for various areas of your home.

Living Room 

Living room with rustic fireplace in river stone and wood mantel.

Your living room is often the largest space in your home and likely the area where you spend the most time relaxing or entertaining guests. To efficiently zone heat this room, an electric fireplace is a perfect solution.

Not only do electric fireplaces provide ample heat, but they also serve as stunning focal points for your living area. They are also energy efficient, easy to install, and don’t require venting or gas lines as some fireplaces do. Mantel packages (a kit that includes the fireplace and the mantel) are an easy, low/no renovation solution to quickly add attractive and efficient zone heating.

Heating Hacks

Look for units offer adjustable heat settings and can warm rooms of up to 1,000 square feet while adding ambiance with realistic flames.

Bedroom

Bedroom with modern fireplace with built in hearth and mantel on the wall under the TV.

 Much like the living room, the bedroom requires ambiance and warmth, but on a smaller scale. Whether you want to heat the primary suite or a smaller guest room, an electric fireplace is your best bet here as well.


Heating Hacks

A model that heats up to 400 or 800 square feet may provide better heating for this more limited space. Something with a smaller footprint is advisable as well. Units that have thermostats will help you hit your ideal temperature.

Bathroom

Smaller electric fireplace heater in a bathroom next to a hamper.

 The bathroom is often chilly in the mornings, especially during the colder months. A portable space heater can be an ideal solution for quickly warming the room before you shower. Compact size and fast heat delivery will get things warmed up quickly. Make sure to choose models with safety features like tip-over and overheat protection, especially in damp environments.


Heating Hacks

Something small enough to store during the summer is ideal for the bathroom. If you’re picturing a less than aesthetic box, think again. Space heaters can look just like fireplace stoves and pack plenty of style too.

Home Office 

A home office with a small electric fireplace heater amongst modern design.

If you work from home, you’ll want your home office to be comfortable without breaking the bank on energy costs. Infrared heaters are an excellent choice for smaller rooms like home offices. These heaters warm people and objects directly, rather than heating the air, which can be more energy-efficient in small spaces. Infrared heaters also maintain air quality by not reducing moisture, making them perfect for long workdays.


Heating Hacks

Infrared is the perfect type of heat if you worry about quiet operation or cool-to-the-touch options. These little units pack a big heating punch without the noise of blowers or the concern of warm surfaces.

Kitchen

Kitchen dining nook with electric fireplace in the wall next to round dining table.

In the kitchen, where space is limited, you don’t want a bulky heater taking up floor space. Nor do you have much room for a wall-mounted unit. Instead, try the recessed electric fireplace. The linear look touts contemporary style without interfering with the busy kitchen.


Heating Hacks

Most linear electric fireplaces have the option to recess so you don’t have to buy a specialized unit. If a construction job, no matter how minor, doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, consider a slim wall-mounted linear. These have a profile that comes out from the wall about four inches.
