From the realistic dancing flame effect to the ambiance they create, electric fireplaces are the perfect replacement for the gas and wood-burning fireplaces. Electric fireplaces offer a range of benefits over the traditional ones, including the fact that they are cost-effective and can be enjoyed in summer, thanks to the independent flame options. A Dimplex electric fireplace can reduce your house heating bills significantly. This is because when using the fireplace to heat the rooms, you can run the thermostat at a much lower temperature. Moreover, electric fireplaces are energy efficient. They cost as little as 3 cents per hour with the flame and 8 cents per hour with heat. Away from that, here are the three main reasons why you should consider buying an electric fireplace.
Easy to install and maintain
Wood and gas-burning fireplaces require a complicated and expensive installation for the fuel and chimney system as well as mantels. This is not the case with an electric fireplace. A complete installation of an electric fireplace can take as little as 10 minutes, depending on the type of fireplace you select. For example, a simple electric fireplace can be placed inside an existing fireplace unit within 10 to 15 minutes. A larger unit may, however, take up to an hour to be installed.
Thanks to being easy to install, you can start enjoying your fireplace within minutes after getting it home. Unlike gas and wood fireplaces, you don’t need to focus too much on cleaning and monitoring an electric fireplace.
Cost-effective
Electric fireplaces provide adequate heat to warm a room. Considering they can warm an area 400 feet from where they are placed, they are excellent supplemental heat sources. Zone heating can be used to heat the rooms you frequent the most, thus enabling you to keep the central thermostat on low. Moreover, an electric fireplace offers the best ROI because you can use it throughout the year and not just when it is cold.
Wide variety of styles
Electric fireplaces come in many styles and at various price points. This makes it possible for you to buy an electric fireplace for just about any or every room. You can get a wall-mount electric fireplace for the bathroom or a full mantel package for the dining room.
When it comes to style, you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to electric fireplaces. The Dimplex electric fireplace is the most sought after option at The Fireplace Store.
