Awful product, a joke. Cheap, flames look totally fake you can even see the bare light bulbs.  As far as heating 1000 square feet, don't even think it can even warm a 400 sq ft space.....it can't. Ridiculous remote that doesn't activate the controls you want. Do not buy this product or any from Country Living; do your research. I have others that work 1000 percent better than products from Country Living.
