Do you want to add extra heating to your home? Want to add more atmosphere? Then you have the choice between electric fireplaces or gas fireplaces.

You would be wrong to think that an electric fireplace is more expensive than a gas one in use. The models you now buy are cost effective and environmental friendly. They don?t give away smoke or deadly CO2 exhausts.

How do they work? Well, of course you have to plug them into a standard wall outlet. In about ten minutes you?ll have a crackling fire!

These electric fireplaces give your living room a cozy atmosphere, whether you live in a big house or a small apartment. The kits with the new electric logs look just as real as a real fire. They have enough power to comfortably heat 150 square feet.

It is possible to buy electric fireplaces if more than one size. They come in sizes 23?, 28? and 33?. This measurement is the width of the front of the insert. In goes without saying that larger units have larges log sets and larger flames.

You can fit in an electric fireplace about everywhere in the house: kitchen, living room, bedroom, ? Nowadays they also come in portable versions or corner inserts. These are great for lost spaces!

Shops offer various models in electric fireplaces. You have them with surrounds of real wood, or real marble, stone and such. What you choose is up to you. The absence of heat also allows you to place shelves around the fireplace, or a bookcase next to it.

Prices will start at about $299 and can go up to $2,300 (or more). The more expensive ones come with a home entertainment center! In general, you only pay about $200 for the electric insert (blower, log set and controls) of the total price in retail.

What you pay over this $200 is just for decoration and romance, and depends on your taste and budget. Most of these electric fireplaces are well made though and have an attractive design.

The bid advantage of electric fireplaces is that they can work throughout the year. Because of the electronics used, they use less than 200 watts. This won?t definitely not increase your heating costs.

What you must remember is that electric fireplaces are ideal for every home. They even do in small houses, condo?s or even RV?s.
