Electric vs. wood-burning fireplaces
A fireplace brings a touch of conviviality and warmth to your home.
So which fireplace should you choose? Why not opt for an electric fireplace?
Here’s an overview of the advantages of an electric fireplace:
Decorative fireplace
If you’re looking for the visual appeal of a wood-burning fireplace, if you like to watch the flames from your fireplace, then the electric fireplace is for you. In fact, the illusion of a real wood fire is perfect, thanks to the fake logs placed in the open hearth and the flames ignited by a system of bulbs or LEDs. Cocooning atmosphere guaranteed…You can light the fire remotely and change the intensity of the flames to suit your moods and desires. In short, the decorative fireplace has all the features of a real fireplace, without the constraints of wood…
Easy to install and use
Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, an electric fireplace is very easy to use, since it doesn’t need to be connected to a flue. All you have to do is plug your fireplace into a power outlet and you’re ready to go.
One of its advantages is that you can switch on the flames and the heater separately: you can choose one or the other completely independently. So, all year round, you can spend your evening in front of the flames, even in midsummer, without suffering from the heat.
At last, a fireplace that’s always clean!
One of the great advantages of an electric fireplace is its cleanliness: no soot, dust, ashes… When it comes to cleanliness, it’s ideal.
Significant savings
Electric fireplaces are also very economical, consuming very little energy when only the flame function is used. In heating mode, it consumes no more than a traditional electric heater. What’s more, most electric fireplaces are equipped with a thermostat that allows you to regulate the heat and switch off the heater if you forget. And best of all: there’s no need to buy and store wood… Environmentally friendly!
