Making the Switch with Room by Room Heating Efficiency

Heating costs can quickly add up and the upkeep associated with traditional fireplaces can make them an unflattering option, but electric fireplaces are excellent solutions for easily heating a home while enjoying the beauty of a fireplace.

There is no sense heating rooms when they aren’t in use, and thermostats can be kept at much lower settings with the use of electric fireplaces as supplementary hear.  Models such as roll away fireplaces or traditional electric fireplaces and mantels can work well with almost any decor. These freestanding electric fireplaces provide immediate and quiet heat at surprisingly low costs. While electricity rates vary by location, the efficiency of various heat sources can range to the extreme. Electric fireplaces provide realistic looking, patented flame technology for about 3¢ per hour and flame with heat for around 8 to 12¢ an hour. In the end, portable electric fireplaces generate supplemental heat for up to 400 square feet (1,000 square feet with infrared units) for only pennies a day and can be enjoyed year-round with the flame effect only feature.

A roll away electric fireplace plugs into any standard electrical outlet and easily fits into any size apartment, condo, loft or home. As an added advantage, smaller electric heaters and fireplaces can be moved from room to room, allowing for families to practice zone heating.  This is important because in most cases, the larger fireplace mantel packages are designed to occupy a permanent space. Instead of heating the entire home with several different units, electric fireplace owners can pick and choose exactly which rooms they want to maintain at a higher temperature simply with this method.

Moreover, whether big or small, all electric fireplaces come in a variety of designs and styles that are sure to compliment any decor within a home or office space. The fireboxes and mantels have all the elegance of traditional masonry fireplaces without any of the mess, fire hazards or smoke problems.
