I recently purchased myself an electric fireplace for our house. With the holiday season coming up fast, I have to admit that it genuinely adds essence to the season all together. When I have my new electric fireplace blazing in our house & decorate it, it makes the holiday season feel much as it did back when I was a kid growing up with an authentic real fireplace. I would have really gotten an actual fireplace in our home, but to do that would have been some major investment that I did not really want to make. There would have been all kinds of construction needed & installing a real fireplace because our house is not set up for a real brick fireplace. So it is truly fantastic that I was able to get the electric fireplace for our house to supply that holiday atmosphere. Also after the holidays wind down & it gets to be real chilly out, this electric fireplace will be able to heat up our residing room real nice & make it so that I do not have to run our central heating & a/c’s oil furnace nearly as often & save money on our annually utility bills. So this electric fireplace that I have genuinely made the difference in both the holiday season & it will make a difference in the heating bills when I can run the electric fireplace instead of the central heating & a/c’s heater. Even though my new electric fireplace does use energy it is not nearly as much as the central heating & a/c’s oil furnace would. So everything is great.
