The Benefits of Electric Fireplaces
1. Energy-efficient; chimney heat loss is a non-issue with electric fireplaces. Although some people dispute the factor of energy-efficiency when it comes to electric fireplaces (i.e. the cost of electricity vs. the cost of using firewood), the fact of the matter is that a majority of the heat that is generated by traditional fireplaces is lost up the chimney. With an electric model, you get 100% heat output; thus, you won’t be wasting any heat.
2. Easy to maintain and clean; you don’t have to worry about ash and soot, as the fire is false. In addition, another benefit is the lack of maintenance that is required. Traditional fireplaces are a hassle in this respect, as you have to routinely clean up the leftover soot and debris (for safety and functional reasons). This is a time-consuming and messy process, one which electric fireplace owners need not be concerned with.
3. Effective and still aesthetically appealing; electric fireplaces have come a long way. Newer models have very realistic flames and can be decorated with a variety of accessories. Another thing to keep in mind is that newer models do look very realistic; while the flames are not genuine, they will work perfectly fine for most users.
4. No firewood and no fire starting required; with an electric fireplace, all you have to do is flip a switch. When you factor in the fact that you don’t need to chop, install or light wood every time you want a fire, the appeal of an electric fireplace becomes even better.
5. Portable and easy to install; you can essentially place them anywhere, which is a big plus if you want to rearrange or move the fireplace to a different room altogether. Lastly, these fireplaces are highly versatile. They simply plug into an outlet and are ready to go; with traditional wood burning stoves and gas models, you are limited to a fixed place.
