6 Reasons to Invest in an Electric Fireplace
As the colder weather and the long, dark evenings set in, homes around the country are snuggling up and preparing for a winter of hibernation. With fireplaces being one of the most coveted ways to keep warm in the colder months, we take a look at why electric fireplaces are the perfect way to bring warmth to your home this winter.
1. Efficiency
Both gas and wood burning fires lose a large amount of heat through the chimney which is not great for energy bills or efficiency. Not only that, but chimneys let in lots of cold air which leaves a room feeling cold and draughty. Electric fireplaces do not need ventilation, so there is no heat loss through a chimney and no cold air comes into the room.
2. Zero mess
Electric fireplaces can provide all of the beauty and aesthetic warmth of a real fire, without all of the associated mess that usually comes with them. Forget about sweeping the chimney, emptying the ash pan, and removing soot build up, simply kick back and enjoy the warmth of your remote-controlled fire.
3. Style
When it comes to choosing the perfect electric fireplace, there are plenty of beautiful styles to choose from. Whether you have a contemporary, traditional, or quirky finish in your room, there is an electric fireplace to suit every kind of décor.
4. Safety
One of the biggest advantages of an electric fireplace is the ability to turn it off when you are finished with it. This means that you reduce the risk of injuries and burns for children and pets when the fireplace is unsupervised. Many electric fireplaces also come with a timer setting so that you can fall asleep in front of it safe in the knowledge that it will turn itself off after a set period of time.
5. Installation
Electric fireplaces can be incredibly easy to install when compared to their wood and gas burning counterparts. If you go for a simple off the shelf design, it is simply a case of plugging your fire into the mains to start enjoying the benefits of it.
6. Money Saving
With an electric fireplace, there is no chimney cleaning, no service checks and no costly installation fees - just plug it in and enjoy!
