These Cozy Electric Fireplaces Feel Just Like The Real Thing

Fireplaces are the epitome of coziness, but if your home wasn’t built with a fireplace, or you don’t want to deal with the huge amount of work that goes into making a fire, including collecting or buying wood, ensuring your house doesn’t fill with smoke, and getting your chimney routinely cleaned, then we suggest electric fireplaces. They have all the ambiance and heat of the real deal, without the downsides.

Not only are electric fireplaces significantly less work and safer than building a fire in a traditional fireplace, but they also have a long list of benefits.

Electric fireplaces help to save money by cutting down on energy costs in several ways. Using electric fireplaces for extra heating allows users to only heat the rooms they’re using, which means you can keep your living room or bedroom extra warm without paying to turn up the thermostat on the entire house. If your home has pockets of inadequate insulation, paying to have your house reinsulated is a considerable cost. Electric fireplaces are an affordable way to warm the cold areas of your home without incurring the expense or headache of undergoing a renovation.

Electric fireplaces aren’t just a great way to warm your home, they can also provide an affordable and stylistic alternative to using a space heater in the garage or a shed. We also love that electric heaters can add warmth and a welcoming décor to apartments or condos, which typically aren’t built with fireplaces.

If safety is a concern, electric fireplaces are a much sounder option than traditional fireplaces. The units we’ve included below give off heat, but aren’t hot to touch, making them ideal for homes with children and pets. They also don’t give off toxic fumes, and you don’t have to worry about smoke getting into your furniture or the lungs of your loved ones. Plus, they are low maintenance and installation takes minutes.
