Comparing electric to gas units

admin — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:34:23 +0000

With the current inflated price of every energy source, in most areas electricity is cheaper than gas. But if you’re able to run gas units for less then perhaps that is the better option. You can look at a gas fireplaces website to get more information on the specifics of gas units. Many gas units are ventless and much safer than they used to be.

How Does the Electric Fireplace Work?

Perhaps one of the coolest features is that you simply plug it in and it turns on. No more wood chopping, just litterally flip a switch.

Although electric fireplaces do not use real flames, the blower motor does blow out warm air, so keeping it clear of curtains and fabrics should be considered. We offer state-of-the-art electric fireplaces. With a captivating and realistic illusion of dancing flames and glowing embers, these models have come a long way since the dowdy, dated electric logs of yesteryear. Consider electric fireplaces as if they were electric space heaters that have the look and style of traditional fireplaces. They also come with beautiful and natural looking wood logs that operate by remote control. Some of them have a zero-clearance design that allows for flush mounting to drywall or tile, or installation into a finished wall opening. It’s equipped with realistic flames and an adjustable thermostat, so you simply use a convenient remote to turn on a fire anytime you want one.

Your first thought might be to check the major home improvement stores, and you’d be right, they do carry them. You can also research online to find local dealers in your area. Local dealers can often give you far more customer service and personal attention. Many times their prices are very very close to the major chain stores.

Sears electric fireplaces are a popular choice, although there are many other brands such as Lowes, Dimplex, Charmglow, Symphony, and Fred Meyer that are well worth considering. If you are looking to buy electric fireplaces, searching online offers a varied choice to select from. Electric fireplaces are perfect for apartment buildings and condominiums and all those places that are not suitable for the traditional wood fireplace. Electric fireplaces are simple, attractive, and versatile, as well as being easy to install.

Should Your Fireplace be Portable?

It’s an interesting concept. A fireplace that moves. I can think of several situations where this would be highly advantageous. If you or your spouse are prone to redecorating frequently and moving furniture around, it would be even more convenient to be able to move the fireplace along with the couch. How cool is that??

Portable electric fireplaces are ideal for small homes and apartments that do not have a chimney and where installing a flue may be impractical. These portable designs are also ideal for bedrooms and mobile homes. While some electric fireplaces are designed for appearance only, others are constructed with heaters replacing the worries of fumes.

The basics

admin — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 16:25:04 +0000

Electric fireplaces are much simpler to install than either wood- or gas-fired units. There is no flue, no outside air inlet and no need to keep a free air clearance to combustible materials. Electric fireplaces are simple to install. Whether purchasing an insert to fill an existing hearth or a stand-alone unit , installation is as simple as plugging in the unit and following the manufacturers instructions. The surrounds and mantels for electric fireplaces are often more attractive than for real wood or gas logs because concern for high heat is not a factor. Hand-polished wood and lacquered brass trim can be closer to the opening.
