An Introduction to Electric Fireplace Heaters
An electric fireplace heater serves the same purpose as a traditional wood or natural gas one.
However, unlike a wood fireplace, all it takes to operate an electrical one is a flip of the electrical switch to turn it on. For a wood fireplace, you need to collect firewood for lighting it up.
Furthermore, this type of fireplace lets out poisonous carbon monoxide into the air. Such is not the case with an electric fireplace. There are no fuel emissions. It is environmental friendly. You do not have to worry about any consumables catching fire either.
This is because such a heater does not have a real flame or fire. In addition to all these, this type of fireplace only requires a small amount of space and an outlet for electrical supply. A wood or gas fireplace takes up more of your home's space.
Moreover, an electric fireplace heater is much cheaper than a wood or gas fireplace. You do not have to call a professional to install one as in the case of the traditional fireplaces. If you buy an electrical fireplace kit and other necessary items, you can install one on your own. All you need is a proper electrical outlet to plug in the electrical connection. Even the maintenance cost of one is low, especially compared to natural gas.
Its price is dependent on factors like size, style, finishing and material. There are three common styles called as freestanding stove, standard mantel and the insert type. The insert type can be used in any existing wood fireplace.
