This was with our house when we bought it. I removed it and put in a gas fireplace. It is an electric 1375 Watt heater. This unit heats and has a light that gives a 'fire' look to it. The heater works fine, and has a fan to move the air. It has an on/off switch, and a low and a high switch. Great for a garage, workshop or to take the chill off a spare room when guests come to visit. Winter is coming!
