Why Buy an Electric Fireplace?

Maybe you want to add another fireplace in a room downstairs or upstairs, and an electric option is an ideal, cost-effective option.

Advantages of Having an Electric Fireplace

Low maintenance, chic designs, and a workable solution when a chimney is not an option are a few good reasons to consider an electric fireplace. They can heat your room and cast a warm glow to give you the cozy ambience you seek.

Easy Maintenance

Flip the switch or remote control, and away you go. Yes, it’s that easy. There is no firewood to gather or ashes to clear away. There are no fumes, either. And upkeep of the unit typically just requires basic cleaning, such as wiping away any accumulated dust with a cloth.

Energy Efficient

Because they run on electrical power ― and not very much of it, like a space heater ― an electric fireplace can be much more cost effective to operate than a gas or wood fireplace option. Choose to heat the room your electric fireplace is located in and dial down the thermostat in rooms you’re not using for even more efficiency.

Fireplace Safety

There are no sparks or escaping embers with an electric fireplace. Typically, flames are holographic images made to look just like flickering flames. And they generally heat a room faster than traditional fireplaces.


While an electric fireplace can give off heat, if you have small children or pets they won’t be harmed should they touch the fireplace glass of an electric fireplace unit.
