Montana electric fireplace failure???
I'm hesitant to post this after enjoying the humorous comments about cleaning the fireplace chimney, but a fellow Montana owner told me that he had recently heard of a fire in a Montana caused by overheated wiring in the electric fireplace. He then took his fireplace apart and found that one of the electrical connections had been overheated to the point that he had to redo the wire connections. Has anyone experienced or heard of any fireplace wiring failures?? We use ours whenever we need heat and have been in the habit of leaving it on overnight- something I'll stop.
