FREE STANDING ELECTRIC FIREPLACE
Initially, you might have some qualms about purchasing a freestanding
electric fireplace. You might worry, for instance, that a portable wood
electric fireplace is a bit too artificial-looking. You might also wonder
whether it will really fit in with the décor of the rest of your
home. And you might also be skeptical about claims about the cost-effectiveness
of a ventless electric fireplace.
The truth is, a chimney free electric fireplace can be a real godsend.
A vent-free electric fireplace can be super-easy to care for, giving you
all the advantages of a customary hearth—without requiring you to
go to the expense of hiring a contractor.
A Fireplace Without a Chimney-Not as Cold as It May Sound
A no-chimney fireplace gives you the advantage of mobility. You can easily
move a chimney-free electric fireplace throughout your house. In addition,
this type of fireplace can actually save you a significant amount of money
over time. An electric fireplace can also help you maintain a higher air
quality within your home, which is particularly important if you or someone
you love suffers from asthma.
You should be aware of the fact that most homes do not possess the type
of ventilation which is needed to support the regular use of a traditional
fireplace. The chemical byproducts of the fireplace linger inside the house,
which can jeopardize your family’s health. As a result, some medical
experts even say that an electric fireplace can help keep you from becoming
sick in the wintertime.
The Finest in Fakes
 If
you think of an electric fireplace as being a “fake fireplace,”
you aren’t far off the mark. An electric-powered model simply doesn’t
have all of the negative qualities of traditional wood-burning models.
But the fact is, an electric fireplace can be considered an “authentic
fake.”
By this we mean that electric fireplaces are now more convincing than
they’ve ever been before. You can often adjust the flame to taste.
You can even get electric log units that have a special motor that produces
authentic crackling sounds. What this means is that you can have just
as much enjoyment sitting in front of an electric fire as a wood-burning
one.
