Electric fireplaces bring the comfort and classic beauty of wood fireplaces to modern homes.
Wood fireplaces can be dangerous, especially with small animals or children in the home.
In the past, when the wood burning or coal burning stoves were the only heating option, families would risk the danger out of necessity.
Now, in our modern homes, we don't have to worry about burning everything to the ground due to a rogue spark or a too hot coal, but we are also missing out on everything a fireplace can bring to the home.
There's the beauty of a mantel, which accentuates the home by providing the perfect place to showcase photos and decorations.
There's the rich glow of the flames, providing not only a beautiful light, but also a welcome heat.
And there's the convenience of having a central place for the family to gather, whether it's for a holiday or simply a quiet way to unwind after a busy day.
Electric fireplaces combine the convenience of a heater with all the benefits of having a fireplace in the home.
There are many different styles to choose from, especially since they are growing in popularity as more and more families recognize all of the advantages to adding one to their homes.
Styles, sizes, shapes, and prices vary considerably from brand to brand, but certain things do not change.
They can be used as heating devices, so they do not merely offer an aesthetic addition to the home.
They can be plugged into any wall outlet, so you will not be creating a different sort of fire hazard, nor will you need to rewire your home.
They are all safe to have in a home with animals or children.
Beyond that, there's enough flexibility on the market to find anything that you might need or want an electric fireplace.
