What Is an Electric Fireplace?

The existence of a fireplace - provides warmth during the cold wintry days and enhances the interiors of your home. When it comes to selecting a fireplace, various options and brands are available. There is a conventional wood fireplace, and then there are options like a gas fireplace and an electric fireplace. Out of the three, an electric fireplace is one of the most sought after fireplaces.

 

Electric fireplaces are meant to make life simple. They have no real fire, no smoke and no gas byproducts. In fact, all you have to do is plug yours into a wall socket, just like you would any other device. Then, just press a switch to turn the fireplace on. The fireplace will use one of several types of heating components, such as infrared technology to turn electricity into heat energy.

Why Choose an Electric Fireplace in Calgary?

Electric fireplaces are one of the most effective fireplaces in the market. Unlike traditional fireplaces, the heat generated from the electric fireplace doesn’t escape through chimneys, which in turn helps you save big on energy bills. Moreover, as there is no real fire, there is no smoke produced in this type of fireplace. You also don’t have to worry about cleaning up as there are no logs used or no ash is left. Also, they are safer around kids and pets as there is no risk of hot metal casings or actual fire.

 

Why Is Electric Fireplace Preferred?
A fireplace can be counted as an amenity. Fueled by wood, gas and electricity, each fireplace has its pros and cons. An electric fireplace fares better because it requires no maintenance as compared to a conventional wood fireplace. You don’t even need a chimney when it comes to an electric fireplace because there are no fumes whatsoever.

 

A gas fireplace, on the other hand, needs an elaborate procedure to set up. Underground channels are created to fit gas pipelines and are a task in itself, which involves high costs. But when it comes to the installation of an electric fireplace, plug it and you are done. Moreover, an electric fireplace is efficient, as each unit invested is utilized and transformed into heat, whereas wood-burning and natural gas fireplaces lose anywhere from 50-70% of their heat, depending on various factors.

 

Wood fireplaces are also quite unsafe and they may lead to accidental fires, while the gas fireplace may turn too hot too quickly. But with an electric fireplace, there is no such problem as you can always control the thermostat.
