Is A Baseboard Heater Or Electric Fireplace Under My New Plasma Tv Going To Cause Damage And Which Is Better?
I live in Mass. and its just getting too cold for my space heater in my bedroom. I can install a baseboard heater but the only wall it can go on is right under my Plasma TV.
The electric fireplace would also go right under the Plasma but since the TV is mounted it would vent out the heat approx. 18in in front instead of right under it like the baseboard heater.
I know heat next to electronics is not a good idea and i think the electric fireplace would be safer for the TV since the heat is farther away. I will still need an additional heat source from a space heater since they dont punch out much heat but thats ok.
thanks a lot for any help…i need it!

You mean the plasma tv doesn’t heat up the room enough? J/K I wouldn’t put another heat source UNDER your plasma – they run hot already and electronics don’t do well with excess heat. It will burn out/break down/ DIE. As far from the tv as possible – then the heat in the room will be distributed more evenly anyway.
