The hearth

The hearth is the flat platform that sits at the base of a fireplace, designed to protect the floor and wall from heat damage or embers. It is usually made from non-combustible materials such as stone or brick and extends 16 to 18 inches prior to the firebox. Electric fireplace suites are often without a hearth.

This will depend upon some factors, such as the power of the fireplace as well as the current rates for electricity and the length of time you're planning to use it each day. To find this out, you need to divide the fire's wattage by the energy rate of your electricity provider per Kilowatt hour.

If you're looking to make the most of your fireplace suite make sure you choose one with high BTUs. This will make your room warm faster and provide more realistic flame effects.
