It is a gas fireplace, and it is fantastic for heating the place up in a pinch. Probably not the cheapest option, though! Tried it out last weekend (as we technically already have the apartment, my current lease just doesn't end till May) and it warmed the place right up in no time.

The coolers are a good idea too. I will definitely have to pick one up.
