Love the look and feel of a warm fireplace but hate the maintenance of it? Electric fireplaces are just the thing for you. They give you all the satisfaction of a real fireplace except that you don’t have to lug firewood around or clean once it’s over. All the benefits but none of the work.
An electric fireplace is essentially a heater that is made to simulate a traditional fireplace. It uses metal coils to create heat in an instant. There’s no waiting around for the flame to spark or the fire to build. It’s immediate gratification.
If you’re worried about the aesthetic of a physical flame, electric fireplaces replicate that as well through the use of LED lights and can be quite realistic looking. The LED feature makes for many different illusions of these fireplaces. Some reside on a bed of rocks while others look like generic logs. And while most emanate an orange or red flame, a green, blue, or purple glow is attainable.
Some electric fireplaces go even further to create crackling noises like that of an actual fire. Imagine closing your eyes, sitting back, and relaxing to the sound of a campfire right in your own home. Talk about tranquil.
The incredibly easy installation process allows for electric fireplaces to be enjoyed in any part of the home. They are able to be installed in places typical fireplaces would not such as a bookshelf, garage, or master bedroom.
While it’s sad to see traditional fireplaces fade out of style, electric fireplaces are the new norm. They are easy to install, less of a mess, and generally safer due to zero emissions. If you’re in the market for a new fireplace or simply want to revamp your space, think about going electric.
