Among the dream of many homeowners is a home with a fireplace. An electric fireplace in North Vancouver, however, can offer many similar benefits. For some, dreams of a fireplace mean an authentic, vintage fireplace that has stood the test of time and carries with it the history of the land. One that has character and personality. For others, it means a simple unit that is able to seamlessly blend in with the style of their living room and provide warmth during cold winter seasons.
If you weren’t one of the lucky ones to secure a property with a heritage fireplace or it simply just isn’t your style, you’d be surprised at the functionality and aesthetic electric fireplaces can provide. They offer the cozy space to enjoy a movie with family and friends on a chilly winter night, the perfect ambience during the holidays and an extra special, a grand focal point for the living room area.
Regardless of your style or your needs, electric fireplaces can sometimes even surpass older units. Let’s take a look at all of their benefits.
No Fumes
All electric fireplaces require is an outlet. They have a cord that plugs into your outlet to offer both warmth and realistic flames. No worries about potentially inhaling gas, smoke or fumes.
Low Maintenance
A real fireplace requires an endless list of maintenance tasks and regular ones at that. Burning real wood creates ash and fumes that travel up your chimney and create soot residue. This requires regular cleaning so that the smoke can safely exit your home instead of travelling back into the interior of the home.
Electric fireplaces don’t burn real wood, neither do they create smoke or fumes. This means no need for a chimney, or the headache of regular, costly maintenance and cleaning services.
Looks Realistic
Besides the warmth that these fireplaces provide, they also offer a beautiful, realistic-looking flame that’s as safe as it is beautiful.
Easy & Convenient to Install
Electric fireplaces come in a wide range of sizes that are easy to install and can be built into a wall, installed as a standalone cabinet or hung on the wall. They make for an incredibly practical, simple and fuss-free solution.
Low Cost
While real fireplace installation requires thousands of dollars, electric fireplaces are very reasonably priced in terms of unit cost and installation. What makes them even more appealing is that they don’t require extra finances long-term for chimney upkeep.
Energy-Efficient
Electric fireplaces are very energy efficient. While heating up your home with your central heating system or HVAC system can be very draining on your energy consumption and bills, using your fireplace is a smarter alternative. It’s a form of supplemental heating that will be effective both for your wallet, and your comfort during those cold winter months.
Durable & Long-Term Solution
Because they don’t emit real fire, electric fireplaces are less susceptible to rust or corrosion. Even after years of use, simple regular clean electric fireplaces can look good as new.
Completely Safe
Numerous safety concerns come to mind when considering a real fireplace. They can get incredibly hot, can be dangerous for children and pets and can also emit toxic toxic fumes. These fumes can get worse if your chimney isn’t regularly cleaned. Electric fireplaces have automatic shut-off options, and many remain cool to the touch.
Endless Design Choices
With a wide variety of design options, you’re sure to find a design that you love. From traditional styles that also offer storage space in the form of a mantle to minimal and contemporary styles for the most modern of homes, our selection at Home Makeover Centre is expansive.
