Electric Fireplaces can help warm up your home adding warmth plus a little extra coziness

When many of us picture our dream homes, there are tons of features that help make our dream home plenty dreamy. For many of us, particularly around the holidays, a roaring fireplace is an ideal place to gather together. If you haven’t moved into your dream house just yet, you can still bring the glow and warmth of a cozy hearth to your home. All you need is an electric fireplace.

Palm Property Management does not allow space heaters, as they can be unsafe. However, electric fireplaces can be portable, freestanding or wall-mounted. As they are larger and contain more safety features, they are allowed- provided they are only used when Residents are home. 

Electric fireplaces generally include faux ceramic logs and LED lights to create the look of a real wood-burning fireplace. Here are some of the reasons to consider this furniture for your home: 

Safe: Nothing is actually burning inside of an electric fireplace, which means electric fireplaces pose no fire risks to your home. They don't produce any of the hazards associated with real or gas fireplaces, including sparks, smoke, or chemical fumes. Electric fireplaces are safe to use around children and pets because they remain cool to the touch, even while emanating heat into a room. As they are larger than space heaters, there is less risk of tipping over, making them a much safer option. 

Versatile: Because all electric fireplaces really need for installation is an electrical outlet, you have a lot of freedom with where you can place them. They may them in many style, inserts, standalone units, and even corner options! An electric fireplace is perfect if you live in a small apartment and can add extra warmth in a historic home where a wood fire won't work. Many electric fireplaces include options to control their temperature, which means you can use one year-round, even during a hot summer.

Cost- & Energy-Efficient: Due to their ease of installation and lack of supplementary materials (like gas, wood, etc.), electric fireplaces are some of the most cost-efficient fireplaces available. Electric fireplaces also allow you to effectively heat certain areas of your home that you use the most while keeping your central heating low, which can help you save on your monthly electricity bill. Don't worry about the fireplace itself contributing to your energy bills – the best electric fireplaces may only contribute a few dollars to your monthly bill.

Low-Maintenance & Long-Lasting: With an electric fireplace, there's no need to get on your hands and knees to sweep up soot and ash. You also won't need to spend any time cleaning around the fireplace rim or worrying about smoke control. Electric fireplaces require little to no maintenance and can last you years.
