I live in Florida and I have a beautiful fireplace...........however most of the time it is so hot we either don't use it or turn the A/C on full blast to use it.  The electric logs, we purchased from Wayfair look so beautiful in our fireplace, we enjoy them every evening..........wish I had found them long ago.  They do heat, if you need the heat but we do not........and behind our glass screen it looks so real.  Thank you.
