WHY CHOOSE AN ELECTRIC FIREPLACE?
Since many of our customers live in historic homes, they face special challenges which can be addressed by electric fires! We offer a huge selection - see them all - click any category at right.
FLICKERING FLAMES Technology continues to develop electric fireplaces into a mesmerizing, believable fire. Many visitors in our store have to ask which ones are electric and which ones are gas!
GOES ANY WHERE! Old, disabled chimneys are not a problem with electric fireplaces. No venting is required - installation literally is as easy as plugging in a television. And unlike vent-free gas products, electric fires have NO fumes. So if you have a room that could use a bit of extra charm, think electric! There's a size and style that's right for any size, any decor.
AMBIENCE. The dancing flame produced by an electric fireplace, electric insert or freestanding electric hearth stove provides a warm, soothing glow in any room. Enjoy a "fire" no matter the season by using the fireplace with the heater turned off, then flip a button for variable heat settings to remove the chill.
ECONOMICAL. No special preparation is needed to install an electric fireplace. Electric fires use a regular household electrical outlet. Spare the expense of running gas lines and chimneys with a plug-in fire. They're cheap to operate too - about 2 cents an hour on the "flame only" setting, about 7 cents an hour when you run the heater.
SAFETY. Most electric fireplace styles have no hot surfaces so they're a safer choice to use around pets, children and seniors. Add an electric fireplace to baby's room or grandma's room to keep the temperature cozy for them while lowering the thermostat in other parts of the house.
HEATS GREAT. Electric fires provide enough heat (4500-5000 btu average) to serve as the sole source of heat for a room size of about 400 square feet. They're great for sun porches that lack central heat. They also may help you save money - turn down your central heating thermostat then turn up the electric fireplace in the family room, den, bedroom - where ever you find yourself cozying up on a chilly day.
"Green" Heating Solution. Electric fireplaces offer a heating solution that produces no smoke, fumes or odors. No venting to outdoors required, no emissions into the outdoor OR indoor environment. They offer beauty and ambience while using clean and economical, 100% efficient electric power. Additionally, electric fireplaces are a practical solution for zone heating, which can significantly reduce each and every home's heating fuel consumption - slash your heating costs, save money, and reduce your family's carbon footprint by using environmentally friendly electric power with an electric fireplace room heater. We call them "furniture that heats".
