Important Info for Louisiana Residents with Electric Fireplaces

Louisiana is feeling the impact of this winter storm, and power outages are a big concern. Did you know that some electric fireplaces can still run during an outage if they have a built-in battery pack or can connect to a backup power source? If you already have an electric fireplace, this is something worth checking!

1️⃣ Check Your Electric Fireplace
Review the Manual: Look for information about battery backup or compatibility with portable power stations. Inspect for Features: Some models have built-in batteries or allow connection to an external power source like a generator or a backup battery system. Test It Out: Don’t wait until the lights go out—check now to ensure everything works as expected.

2️⃣ Conserve Heat During Power Outages
Close Doors: To make the most of your fireplace, focus on heating only the room you’re in. Use Insulation Hacks: Block drafts with towels or blankets along windows and doors.
Layer Up: Wear extra clothing to trap body heat and reduce the strain on your heating system.

3️⃣ Plan Ahead
Get a Backup Power Source: Portable power stations or small generators are excellent companions for electric fireplaces and other essentials.
Stock Up on Supplies: Gather blankets, food, water, flashlights, and batteries to stay comfortable and safe.

Monitor Weather Updates: Stay informed with alerts from local news or weather apps.
