What Are Pros and Cons of Electric Fireplaces?

admin — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 01:32:40 +0000

There are many Pros and Cons to owning electric fireplaces. Fortunately, the pros outweigh the cons. The days of needing a traditional home to enjoy wood burning fireplaces are long gone. Now with the popularity and convenience of electric fireplaces you too can enjoy the comfort of having a beautiful fire place in your apartment, condo, townhome, or villa.Regardless of where you live whether in the fidget north, windy Midwest, or tropical South, electric fireplaces can work for you. Electric fireplaces are so very well built and closely resemble the traditional wood burning fire places. They also give you the same warm feel, crackling sounds of the burning wood, and the luminance look of flames leaping from the wood ambers.There are many pros to electric fireplaces.the number one pro to electric fireplaces is that they produce zero emissions, so you can put them almost anywhere in your home: bedroom, living room, dining room, and even your bathroom. They are also perfect for heating both large and small areas and takes up very little space. An electric fireplace may be the most logical option if you live in an apartment or condominium where there is no existing fireplace. They don’t require chimneys or gas lines.Most electric fireplaces are portable, so they can be moved from room to room or even taken with you when you relocate. You could even have one in your college dorm room. These units don’t require any remodeling or big home improvements. You can just plug them in to “install” them. Electric fireplaces can be a superior selection for supplementary domestic vapors. They are also such cheaper to install than traditional fireplaces. You can choose to turn off the heat and just have the flames flicker for ambiance (so, they’re appropriate even in warm climates). The ceramic logs that come with electric fireplaces offer a reasonably realistic wood-burning look. You don’t need any venting to the outside. So, if you want a room heater that can also provide a bit of ambiance (and be better looking than your typical space heater), and electric fireplace is a good buy.On the other hand, there are a few cons. Fireplaces that are electric are more expensive then electrical heaters. You probably shouldn’t buy an electric fireplace if you’re looking to save money. Do not plan on using your electric fireplace as backup heating or lighting during a power outage (something you can do with wood or gas units), because it will not work. These types of fireplaces have the lowest BTU output in comparison to other options.

Where Can I Find Reviews on Electric Fireplaces?

The first electric fireplaces appeared on the market in the 1950′s. These “units” as they were called did not produce any heat. Were made of cardboard decorated as if brick with a portrait of a decorated mantle. Magically small bulbs like those used on a Christmas tree shines behind red cellophane blown here and there by a small fan and viola at Christmas any one could have a fireplace.

These models are still available. They were first sold at such places as “Green Stamp Stores”. Today they are most often available at discount dollar stores or by catalog order. The evolution of the electric fireplace has come full circle. Today’s models produce image of a flame as well as the cackle and pop of a flame. Most also produce heat and are equipped with thermostats and safety features. Unlike the cardboard facsimiles first sold these modern electric fireplaces are beautifully manufactured of wood, or materials light but resembling brick. Models come with full mantels to hang those Christmas Stockings from or display Gran and Gramps photo for the grandchildren.

A fan can help disperse warm air from the “fire” on a cold winters night. Some models are equipped with a small area to warm your toes or dry your boots. The electric fire place is available on line at Internet sites offering BBQ’s, gas fireplaces, or grills. A buyer can check the Yellow Pages for dealers near them. Some furniture stores offer electric fireplace models. Many mail order catalogs offer electric fire places. Most dealers recommend purchasing your electric fireplace well before the winter season as supplies can be short.

Where Can I Find Ventless Gas Fireplaces?

admin — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 16:57:15 +0000

There is no such thing as a ventless gas fireplace. There is available “butane” fueled gas fireplaces that do not need a vent. These fireplaces produce a lovely display of flame yet produce very little “heat” therefore having no need for a vent. Propane gas so often used by campers, or RV’ers, must be vented.

To give campers or RV’ers the “sense” of a fireplace propane gas designers have developed catalytic converters to reduce need for venting. Those home owners, consumers, of fireplaces using natural gas must normally vent their gas flamed fireplaces except if their fireplace has a catalytic converter at the burner and/or has been engineered to use very little natural gas, so therefore producing very little emissions.

In Europe it is interesting that in the cold of the Steppes or the Alps little emissions are produced by natural gas fireplaces so venting is not required. This is attributed to the air pressure and elevation as well as average “cold” temperatures. Today in Colorado State engineers are investigating this phenomenon.

Those wanting to purchase a ventless gas fireplace can look in the Yellow Pages or link to Yellowpages.com to find a dealer near them. Those wanting to buy can also contact their local gas company to ask of known and reliable carriers. The search engines of the Internet can guide any consumer to sites providing consumer information as well as comparative shopping and pricing.

Any one looking to buy a new product or to install a new appliance should of course familiarize themselves with the products, warranties, and pricing before making any purchase decision.

Where To Buy Gas Fireplaces?

The approach of the winter makes everyone want to prepare to welcome it with the proper protection for their homes. Winter is around the corner and the sales of the fireplace at that time are on it’s peak. I can see the high expectations on faces ready to get the best product to cope with the stark winter chillness. So there is a big question on those hopeful faces ” where do I buy the best gas fireplaces?”. If this is your question don’t worry there are number of places for you to choose from.The other day I happened to drive down to my daughter’s house for a weekend visit. We were yapping about all the nonsense in the world and at one point we just shifted our eyes to the corner of her room casually and spotted the Heat & Glo hearth lying idle with out usage since it was summer day. Our conversation turned around to the hearth for some reason and she gave me a good deal of pros and cons about it. From her I came to understand that this brand has got some real good benefits.There are many models available for you to choose from with Heat & Glo and since you need a gas hearth a convenient refilling a facility has also been made available in the Heat & Glo store. The hearth can be moved from one place to another. It has a safe mantle for long burning capacity and the price is also amicable I feel but I don’t know about your opinion. This is an international company and you can contact them for more info.

Ventless Fireplace

admin — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 05:25:21 +0000

How can I convert my gas fireplace in an unvented fireplace with a remote control?

I have a regular fireplace, without combustion or thing … and records of natural gas. I would like to have an unvented gas fireplace. Do not just buy the records without ventilation, a remote control and seal of my chimney? Would it be better to make a direct vent? I'm trying to keep my home .. I wish I had the doors (which I think we can close the doors for direct ventilation), but do not have all my heat out of the chimney, which it currently does.

We had an existing gas line in an existing fireplace. We did a direct ventilation was easy. He just put the vent "pipes" in the existing chimney and attach it to the gas fireplace insert. If you achieved with a fan will blow hot air into the room. Most of these gas inserts are so efficient that can be considered a source of warmth of home. VENTLESS fireplaces are not good if someone in your household has asthma. Also not good for pets, especially birds. Also not good in small rooms. Also without ventilation can cause moisture problems. It is usually recommended to be carbomonoxide detector if you run a non-vented fireplace at home. I hope this helps a little.
