Electric Flame Fireplace Facts

The company Dimplex™ leading design and patented electric flame fireplace offers incredible realism to your existing fireplace or as a standalone model. This design produces an amazingly realistic wood burning effect and is effective to heat your living room area if you choose not to use central heat. The design looks so real and is relaxing at night with the lights off and the reflections on the ceiling and floor.

The electric fireplace insert design can be used to replace your gas or wood-burning stove, is simple to install and has a quiet heater/fan. The design basically has a rotating device inside the log that makes the flame like pattern. Light bulbs inside the log are what provide the lighting and are low cost and simple to replace.

One thing to make sure of is choose the right size unit depending upon how much square footage you want to heat. Different models are going to produce more or less watts or BTUs of heat. Also some of the smaller units have weaker fans, so make sure you purchase one with a powerful enough fan to provide a comfortable enough temperature for whatever size room in your home. Also if you are purchasing an insert for your existing fireplace make sure to purchase the right size insert for your fireplace.

Also make sure whatever unit you choose to buy has all the features you want such as a remote control or children safe glass. There are other brands that offer realistic like flames, but Dimplex™ is the leading manufacturer, has several patents on the technology and offers the most realistic and quality electric flame units.
