Some people wonder about the real advantages of electric heating. One key one is that fireplaces of this sort are generally easier to install, while they don't rely on the presence of an existing chimney.
That's particularly good news for those of us living in modern homes, many of which were not built with chimneys. Similarly, it can save you a lot of work and expense if you do have a chimney but it is no longer in use.
Another advantage to bear in mind is that most electric fires are portable. This is good news if you want to heat more than one room - it gives you added flexibility. It also gives you the option to take the appliance with when you move home. In effect, the mobility of the fires ensures that your money can bring you the maximum possible value.
If you like the flame effect and want it to be present even when you're not heating a room then you'll be pleased to find that this is an option that's available with almost all modern fires. That means that you can create a great atmosphere in the room, without the need to have the fire generating masses of heat and hence costing you considerably more money.
Why not choose gas?
You often see comparisons between electric options and traditional wood-burning, or multi-fuel, alternatives. But why is there not much information on gas fires as realistic alternatives?
That's a good question and one that it may be quite hard to answer! Gas would cetainly appear to be an option that would work for many. If you don't have a mains gas supply, for instance, then it might well be ruled out. But the majority of the country aren't faced with this problem.
It seems that some people simply don't like the thought of using gas to heat in this way. There may also be issues here in terms of switching an appliance from one room to another. That's not easily done if you choose gas, although it's usually possible when choosing an electric model.
You may also find that a gas installation costs a lot more, while you'll clearly want to get it serviced regularly too.
So there are a range of reasons why home owners might choose electric, rather than gas. For your own needs, you need to think about what's right for your family, property and circumstances.
