Why Choose Electric over Gas?
You’d love a fireplace but you live or work where a gas or wood-burning fireplace can’t be installed, or you don’t want the expense of installation and the mess associated with maintenance.
You already have one fireplace but dream about adding another to a bathroom, bedroom, or even playroom.
Maybe you’re renting, living in a condo, or you just want to increase the value of your home.
Today, anyone can have the ambiance of a fireplace when they choose electric. Once you pick the right style for your space, all you do is plug it in!
10 Reasons to “go electric” with your fireplace:
- You experience the beauty of a fireplace at a fraction of the cost of gas.
- All can enjoy realistic flames created by new advanced technology.
- You know that electric is a safe and clean option, unlike gas or wood-burning. There is no maintenance or chimney to worry about.
- Feel reassured. Electric results in a much smaller environmental footprint than traditional gas and wood-burning fireplaces.
- You can take pleasure in year-round ambience. Gas means heat, even in July! But with electric, it’s your decision whether or not you want the heater on or off.
- You can select from wood and other premium finishes, with designs that range from ultra-contemporary to rich traditional.
- You can make the best use of an awkward space without needing an outside wall or vent (required for gas)
- New choices mean you can combine your fireplace with a home entertainment unit.
- Electric gives you almost unlimited options for creative installations — such as two-way fireplaces – whatever you can imagine!
- Go ahead, install where the décor fits best—patio, bathroom, guest room, your choice! Again, no need for an outside wall or vent.
