Do Electric Fireplaces Really Help You Save On Your Electric Bill?
Nope. If you want to save some money; use a 1500w space heater in the room you are in, and keep the thermostat in the house set at 50, or 55. Shut it off – and unplug it – when you are not using it.
How much money you will save depends upon the peak rate from your power company, and what type of heat your house has now.

I don’t think so. Actually some hot air may be going out through chimeny which can be saved with other types of heater. Electric fireplace is only for decorative purpose without making a mess.

No. It is primarily decorative. It is just a fancy looking electric heater. I have one & like it – - it’s not for heat though.
