Why Choose an Electric Fireplace?

A modern electric fireplace is clean, energy efficient, and takes up very little space. With the flick of a switch a room can be heated and the fireplace can create an ambient atmosphere. They can be more cost effective and low maintenance than a gas or log burning fireplace. Electric fireplaces don’t need to be  vented or professionally installed.

Advantages of Electric Fireplaces

  1. More affordable – Natural gas and log fires need venting and gas lines. Installation of an electric fireplace can be as simple as unboxing it and plugging into an electrical outlet.
  2. Very efficient – an electric fireplace is very efficient with no heat being lost to the outside via a chimney or venting
  3. Limited maintenance required  – an occasional wipe down of the glass front and replacing a lightbulb is all the is required
  4. Less space needed. A hung electric fireplace only protrudes 6″ to 8″ into a room, and a recessed fireplace only needs this much room
  5. Suitable for apartments or condos where there is no existing fireplace, gas lines or ventilation. A wide selection of makes and models to fit any space
  6. Zone heating – a great source of supplemental heat
  7. Enjoy the ambiance of real fire without the mess. Flame effect technology can now produce amazingly realistic flames 

How does an electric Fireplace work?

Electric fireplaces use metal coils to create heat. As the coils heat, a fan or blower forces the warmed air into the room. Some electric fireplaces also use infrared technology to directly heat a room. If you want to maximize the heating capability, an infrared electric fireplace is a good choice
