Switching To Electric Fireplace- Why Do It Sooner Rather Than Later

Reviews · November 10, 2020

A dream home is all about a cozy little living space where you can curl up with a cup of coffee and your favorite book. A beautiful fireplace can add an element to just any part of the house, but things seem simple only in theory. Fireplaces often cost a lot of money, and their installation can involve much hassle as well. However, electric fireplaces have changed things for homeowners who want to warm up their living space minus the massive expense and hassle. It is ideal for new homeowners looking to start from scratch and for those planning a makeover for their property. If you are not sure about switching to one, here are some good reasons you should do it sooner rather than later.

Low cost of installation

Traditional fireplaces are expensive, particularly when you have a renovation project in mind. The cost of installation may not be worthwhile for new homes as well, because you may want to switch eventually. The electric variant is cost-effective in terms of price and installation. You can save on purchasing firewood and chimney cleaning, which makes it a far more pocket-friendly option as compared to the other alternatives.

Energy efficiency

Heating costs are a key concern for homeowners as your energy bills might increase significantly if you constantly run the heating system. Alternatively, you can save up electricity by having electric fireplaces in the rooms and turning them on individually only to warm up the room where you are sitting. It makes sense if you have a large house and wouldn’t want to waste energy when you are using just a part of the home.

Fits anywhere and everywhere

Electric fireplaces fit anywhere and everywhere, regardless of the size and design of your living space. Renters and homeowners living in compact apartments and small homes often miss out on warming up their houses with a fireplace. But installing a corner electric fireplace by MagikFlame is a great idea if you want to enjoy its magical warmth and ambiance even in limited space. You do not need a chimney, so there isn’t a concern about altering the structural elements of the house.

No fumes

The most incredible part of installing this system is that you get the feel of warmth without fire. You can simply plug the unit into a regular wall outlet and turn the heat on. You no longer have to be concerned about inhaling the smoke and potentially toxic fumes that come from firewood. It becomes the best choice if someone in the family has asthma, allergies or breathing issues.

Low maintenance

Maintenance is a hassle with a traditional fireplace because you have to handle real wood and real fire. There are fumes and ash, which travel up your chimney and cause deposition of soot over time. You will have to invest in regular cleaning, which is not required with the electric version. The maintenance requirements are zero, and all you need to do is plug and play.

There are enough good reasons to make a transition from the traditional models to this innovation now. Most importantly, it is safe, lasting, and comes in extensive variety, so you can pick one that complements your home’s decor perfectly.

Enviro-Log Firelogs And Enviro-Log Fire Starters #Review #HGG18 @EnviroLogFire

2018 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · December 7, 2018

I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this post. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.

Having a fire place in our home makes it feel so cozy and warm. I never imagined I would be the owner of a beautiful fireplace. I was thrilled to include Enviro-Logs in my Holiday Gift Guide 18. It is not only owning a fireplace but what is environmentally friendly that you use in it…

About Enviro-Logs~

Enviro-Log offers two must-have gifts for those that enjoy a cozy fire
in the fire pit or fireplace around the holidays.  Enviro-Log Firelogs
and Enviro-Log Firestarters are reliable and green, providing
long-lasting and clean-burning alternatives to firewood, kindling and
lighter fluid.  They are safe to cook over so you don’t have to worry
about nasty chemicals in your food, s’mores or marshmallows.

ENVIRO-LOG FIRELOGS (EASY LIGHTING ALTERNATIVE TO FIREWOOD)

Known as the greenest and most versatile firelogs on the market,
Enviro-Log Firelogs are the ultimate firewood substitute.  They are
quick and easy to light and don’t need a firestarter.  Enviro-Log
Firelogs are made from 100 percent recycled waxed cardboard and when
compared to firewood, Enviro-Log Firelogs burn cleaner, emitting 30
percent less greenhouse gases, 80 percent less carbon monoxide and 86
percent less creosote.  Enviro-Log Firelogs can also be stored and
burned in all weather conditions and can be transported for camping,
fishing, RVing, tailgating and other outdoor activities without the
concern of restrictions imposed on firewood by some states and
campsites.  Enviro-Log Firelogs are also great for emergency
preparedness because they have an infinite shelf life and are safe to
cook over.  They are also a popular choice for fire pits, wood stoves,
chimineas, and campfires.  They come in 5-pound and 3-pound sizes and
are available at select retailers, including Home Depot, Kmart, Lowes,
True Value, Rite Aid, Sears, Whole Foods and Walmart.  Each 5-pound
firelog will burn up to 3 hours and each 3-pound firelog will burn up
to 2 hours.  They can also be used to supplement your wood fires.

ENVIRO-LOG FIRESTARTERS (EASY WAY TO LIGHT FIREWOOD)

Enviro-Log Firestarters are made from 100 percent recycled
eco-friendly wax and offer an alternative to kindling, petroleum-based
starter blocks, lighter fluids and ethanol-based gels.  Each
firestarter provides up to 20 minutes of burn time with tall and
consistent flames that can even light firewood that has been dampened
with light snow or rain.  Burned to completion, each firestarter is
100 percent consumed and leaves no mess to clean up.  Ideal for back
packing, hiking, camping, fishing or tailgating, and emergency
preparedness, Enviro-Log Firestarters provide a safe, clean and
environmentally friendly way to start a fire anywhere.  They come in
boxes of 8 and 24 starts and can be purchased at select retail
locations, including Ace Hardware, Lowe’s, Rite Aid, The Home Depot
(Northeast Region) and many regional grocery and hardware retailers.

My Review/Thoughts~

I am in love with Enviro-logs! Not only are they very easy to lite with the Enviro-Logs Firestarter but they are good for our environment. I really thought that their would be on odd look to the fire or a bad smell but could not be farther from the truth. I noticed no difference at all to the logs.  All I did was unfold the ends of the wrap that surrounded the log and laid the log on our fireplace grate with the seam side up and lite it on fire. It caught fire right away. My normal logs that I used to use took forever to catch fire.

I give the Enviro-Log my highest recommendation and my thumbs up. This would make the perfect Holiday for that homebody on your list or for anyone who has a fireplace and you can go HERE to order them.
