Electric Fireplace Logs
Before
electric fireplace heating technology was advanced as it is today
the electric fireplace logs weren’t very realistic and had a cheap
appearance to them. The technology used to create a realistic
effect has definitely come a long way, especially with Dimplex’s™
patented electric flame technology. The electric logs are very
life-like in appearance and come complete with audio effects such
as crackling wood burning sounds.
There are a few different styles of electric fireplace logs you can
use for your fireplace including:
Crackling Electric Logs
This type of log is typically made out of oak or other wood
material and has a device that turns inside the log giving it a
flickering effect and makes the realistic wood burning sounds. This
device also features chandelier style light bulbs that help
re-produce the orange glow of an actual fire.
Electric Fireplace Inserts
This setup is typically what you would use to replace your wood
burning stove. It contains everything a normal electric fireplace
contains except you insert it inside your existing wood burning
fireplace. It contains the fake logs , heater and fan just like a
standalone model.
Electric Log Heater
The heat element is usually placed under the fake logs and
depending on the model, it will put out enough heat to warm a room
at a comfortable temperature. The log heater usually comes with a
thermostat that allows for automatic or manual temperature
control.
Electric fireplace logs are the main component of any electric
fireplace and help make an electric fireplace appealing and
valuable addition to any home. They are also able to provide the
comforts of a wood-burning stove with the hassle
