Here are five things you should know before installing an electric fireplace:
-
There are no real flames. This means no mess, smoke, or fumes, and it's safer for homes with children or pets.
-
Electric fireplaces are relatively inexpensive to operate. They use electricity to heat a space, and while they can add to your electricity bill, they are generally more efficient than traditional fireplaces.
-
They come in a variety of styles, shapes, and sizes. You can find an electric fireplace to fit any décor or heating need.
-
Electric fireplaces are easy to install. In most cases, you can simply plug them into an outlet and enjoy the ambiance and heat. However, it is always best to consult a qualified electrician before installation.
-
They are not as efficient at heating a large space as a traditional fireplace. Electric fireplaces are best suited for supplemental heating or for heating small spaces.
