"Does the Comfort Glow electric log fireplace insert have a heater?" This is an electric log insert, like if you have an old fireplace that you don't use anymore. You would just put that insert in there and you get it wired and it looks sort of like logs on fire. It's electric, so you don't have to get gas or anything. It actually does make heat. It's an electric furnace-type device and it puts out some heat for the nice little electric logs. Have more questions? Just ask them in the comments below or on Facebook or on Twitter.
