Do you love the idea of a fireplace but really aren’t up for all the work involved in keeping it clean, safe and fully functional? Your solution just might be a new electric fireplace or fireplace insert.
The Chimney Guys install these appliances for our customers throughout the Columbus, Ohio, region. Before you say, “But electric fireplaces are just glorified space heaters!” let us share a few things you may not know.
Visual Appeal with an Electric Fireplace
Yes, they run on electricity, and no, they don’t produce real fire, but electric fireplaces are far more than “glorified space heaters.”
Modern units made by top names in the fireplace industry like Napoleon, Regency, Valor and Copperfield are designed to look amazingly similar to standard fireplaces.
Realistic, glowing 3D “flames” in the firebox create soft light and a gorgeous visual. With many options for firebox enhancements, electric fireplaces and inserts are great attention-getters and soothing amenities as backdrops for entertaining, socializing and relaxing with the family after a busy day.
Electric Fireplaces vs. Electric Inserts
Electric fireplaces in linear or traditional designs are installed in a wall with no venting required. They can be set high or low to give your room a unique designer’s touch.
Electric fireplace inserts are placed into the firebox of an existing gas or wood fireplace. The chimney is cleaned and then closed off.
Instant Heat When You Need It
They may not produce real flames, but electric fireplaces do produce heat – as much as 10,000 BTUs with some units. Heating an average-sized room is no problem for these fireplaces. You can select a cordless model or a hardwired design that plugs into either a 120V or 240V outlet.
Easy Operation, Zero Maintenance
A switch or remote brings on the heat and beauty. The same switch or remote turns it off. You control the “flames” so they look exactly how you want them to. As to maintenance, there is none. It will be nice to enjoy a fireplace and not have to clean it, wipe it down or worry about chimney safety.
Zone Heating with an Electric Fireplace
Simple installation and a range of sizes and heat outputs mean you can add an electric fireplace to smaller rooms, such as kitchens, bedrooms and even bathrooms, for great zone heating.
No-Heat Enjoyment
If you love the restful ambiance created by your electric fireplace but it’s 95 degrees outside, turn it on without any heat. No problem.
