Electric Fireplaces
Information and Guide
The need to know
information when buying an
electric fireplace:
 It has been many years since we have harnessed electricity and now you
can have the best in electric fireplaces as well. Since electric
fireplaces need no ventilation the way traditional fireplaces do they
can be used in a wide variety of locations and can be installed without
costly construction on your home. You just plug them in and let the
heating begin.
Electric fireplaces are easily moved from one location to another so you
can take them with you if you move, go off to college or simply if you
need to warm up a cold guest room. A 120 volt outlet is all that's
needed and you can have the warmth and comfort of a dancing fire in
seconds. Electric fireplaces also require no cleaning since there is no
dirty soot and ash to worry about and they don't pose a danger of flying
embers catching your carpet on fire.
No fire in an electric fireplace:
Since your electric fireplace does not burn a real fire how do you get
the lifelike quality of flames? That's easy, the "flames" you see are
caused by scattered random refracted light and colored light bulbs. In
1997 a company called Dimplex produced the first wood-burning flame
effect and has since been granted 19 patents for various electric flame
technologies. Even the logs are lifelike versions of the real thing.
Electric fireplaces don't just trick you visually they also provide more
heat output than even most real fireplaces. Since there is no venting of
smoke and fumes 100% of the heat generated will stay in the room. A good
electric fireplace can generate up to 5,000 BTU's of heat and can be
controlled with a thermostat to keep the room at a comfortable
temperature.
Clean and Ash Free:
Probably the nicest thing about an electric fireplace is that you don't
have to clean out the ash and debris left behind when you burn a real
fire using logs and starter material. You also don't have to cut and
carry wood into your house daily to keep up with the cold weather. You
simply flip a switch and your electric fireplace goes to work. The most
work you may have to do is change a light bulb occasionally.
