The Electric Advantage

What image comes to mind when you think of electric fireplaces? The fake-looking one with cheesy flames that was in your grandma’s living room? Think again! Electric fireplaces have come a long way.

Today’s electric fireplaces have more realistic, captivating flames and throw off more heat than those of the past—similar to a standard space heater. They have other benefits worth consideration that make them a very attractive option to spruce up any room with instant ambiance.

Elevated style shines through with the sleek and modern design—no mesh screens or visible heat vents—and a range of flame and ember bed lighting themes.

Cost

Electric fireplaces are generally inexpensive to purchase and they don’t require ventilation or a chimney, so installation is a snap. And it costs only pennies per hour to operate one, so electric fireplaces are cost-effective, direct-heat sources.

Realism

As you may know, the flames in electric fireplaces are not real fire. The impressive visual magic of today's electric fireplaces owe their realism to LED lighting technology. A bank of lights in the back of our electric fireplace models coupled with a rotisserie-like rod that turns and refracts light on reflective materials. The movement fools the eye, drawing viewers in with dancing light and shadows that mimic "real" flames.

You’ll love the sleek and modern design with ember-bed lighting, no mesh screen and the ability to bring finishing materials tight to the edge of the fireplace for a flush look and elegant simplicity.

Air Quality

Because they have no emissions, fumes or pollutants of any kind, electric fireplaces won’t compromise the indoor or outdoor air quality.

Environmental

Electricity is a green alternative to fossil fuels or wood. And your home’s electricity may already be sourced or partially sourced from green energy derived from wind, sunlight or geothermal.

So it really is true. Electric fireplaces offer a unique set of benefits that make them an attractive option worth consideration. Have a look at the SimpliFire models available here and also at SimpliFire.com.
