Electric Fireplaceshave revolutionized the new construction and remodeling industry. Homeowners and builders who have experienced the breath taking realism of The Electric Fireplace realize it has raised the bar for design options. The Electric Fireplace evolution has experienced a quantum leap from those electric logs with reflective tin foil drums that adorned the hearth while the lava lamps were in vogue. The popularity of The Electric Fire Place is due to their very unique properties. Increasingly fireplaces that once served
a practical purpose of heating are now only for aesthetics. Real
fireplaces just might not make since in today's super insulated
and tightly constructed homes. It is more and more difficult to
provide for the make-up combustion air for burning wood
or gas. Tightly insulated homes rarely need the amount of heat
that is generated by a vent free gas log, resulting in
uncomfortably hot rooms. Venting of traditional gas logs
is wasteful of precious energy resources not to mention
concerns of CO2 greenhouse emissions. Vent free
gas logs are prohibited in bedrooms and small rooms. Because of
the heat of real fires most fireplaces remain dark and
uninviting during mild or warm weather. The Electric
Fireplace on the other hand can preserve the coziness of a
home fire burning in your fireplace year-round with or with out
the heat and without a real flame! The Electric Fireplace engine
utilizes a highly protected, patented t echnology of animated
image projection and the look of dramatic glowing embers while
only consuming about the same electricity of a standard 100 watt
light bulb. The low power consumption (approximately 1
cent per hour) only produces approximately 400 Btus of heat as
opposed to 40,000 Btus of a Vent Free
Gas
Log. This is why The Electric Fireplace has been called the
year-round fireplace. Fireplaces need to produce heat at times
and to accomplish this The Electric Fireplace is equipped
with Electric heaters and very quiet blower systems. The
electric heating elements can be thermostatically controlled and
can provide over 4,000 Btus - adequate for warming a 20' X 20'
room . The lower intensity of the gently warmed air allows The
Electric Fireplace to be used in smaller rooms, under TV's or
heat sensitive art. You owe it to yourself to explore the
infinite possibilities that Electric Fireplaces offer
