FREE STANDING FIREPLACE
Some homeowners like to throw tradition to the wind and opt for a free
standing fireplace. A ventless free standing fireplace can truly be a
marvel to behold. Whether you’re interested in a free standing electric
fireplace or a free standing wood burning fireplace for indoors, or a
free standing outdoor fireplace, you may become so attached to your particular
model that you won’t want to use a traditional fireplace again.
The Electric Advantage
At first, you might be put off by the idea of adding a freestanding electric
fireplace to your home. After all, you might think of such fireplaces as
being “fake” rather than authentic. Still, there are numerous
advantages to owning an electric fireplace.
For instance, all you have to do with an electric fireplace is plug it in.
You don’t have to chop wood, haul wood, or clean up ashes. Your fireplace
will burn on clean, safe electricity that charges through your 110 volt
outlet. As a result, it truly is an environmentally-friendly purchase.
Heat You Can Manage
With an electric fireplace, you don’t have to worry about loose sparks.
You also don’t have to bother with uncontrollable heat. The safety
glass is also cool to the touch, so the fireplace is safe to use with young
children around. You can also enjoy the look of a fire, without even turning
on the heat. In addition, there are no combustible materials or gases when
you utilize an electric fireplace.
Added Benefits
And the benefits do not end there. An electric fireplace can also provide
you with a variable flame and adjustable flame brightness. The fireplace
may be characterized by a 1550 watt electric fan-forced heater with built-in
thermostat. It can also operate at 100-percent efficiency, so it should
help to keep your fuel bills in check.
Good News for the Do-It-Yourselfer
 An
electric fireplace can also spell good news for the do-it-yourselfer.
That’s because you can easily and nearly effortlessly install it
yourself. It comes complete with attractive trim and mantel kits. Also,
you don’t have to worry about vents, gas lines, permits, and costly
installations. The unit is also portable, enabling you to carry it from
room to room.
