Advantages of Installing an Electric Fireplace

An electric fireplace is a must have especially in places where there’s always a cold weather or cold temperatures are the norm. Places like Limuru, some parts of Ngong like near Kibiku forest, uplands, Karura etc. can be friendlier to live in if you installed one.

But apart from the main objective of acquiring one, below are the advantages of installing an electric fireplace.

No need of constructing a traditional fireplace

With an electric fireplace, you don’t really need to construct a traditional fireplace. You can just place it at the place where it’s most convenient. This helps you; (i) save cost of constructing a traditional fireplace, (ii) save space that would be used by a traditional fireplace.

It is mobile & portable

An electric fireplace is both mobile and portable. Since it’s an appliance and not a permanent structure it can be easily moved from one place to another. It’s also very portable because it’s not a bulky item. It can even be placed in rooms with small space. This makes it a very good space saver.

It is environmental friendly

An electric fireplace does not use wood, charcoal or coal. This makes it very environmental friendly because it helps in environmental conservation owing to the fact that no trees are cut down. It doesn’t also emit any carbon monoxide therefore helping reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

It is clean to use

Since it doesn’t use any natural resources like trees or coal and neither does it burn anything, it is very clean to use. It doesn’t produce ashes, soot or smoke. This makes it very ideal to use in a residential flat or any other place in an urban centre.

It is safe to use

Our electric fireplaces come with great safety features that include the following:

Overheat protection- this helps it switch off in case it overheats.
Good insulation- the appliance has good insulation both on the body and the electric cable that draws power from the socket. The body insulation prevents accidental burns or anything near it from getting burnt.
Remote control- a remote control helps you operate it from a distance without need to go near it. This means you can easily put it off quickly in case of an emergency when you are far from it.
Timer- a timer is very essential because you can set it to go off after a certain time. Therefore even if you doze while it’s on it can automatically go off.
Heat regulator- a heat regulator helps you to regulate the heat levels that the appliance produces. This helps in preventing overheating and unnecessary wastage of heat and electricity.

It is cost saving

Since you aren’t constructing a fireplace, you save on this cost. The next area you save on cost is on power bill. This is because it is very power efficient and also consumes little power. The power bill is quite friendly to the pocket because the appliances are designed to consume little power.

It is easy to operate/user friendly

Another advantage of installing an electric fireplace is that it’s very user friendly and easy to use. It doesn’t require one to learn a complex procedure for using it. This makes it very user friendly to the elderly or even children who have basic understanding.
