In this video we will discuss the pros and the cons between choosing a gas fireplace or an electric fireplace. Lets talk about some of the benefits for having or choosing one or the other. First off both electric and gas fireplaces are a great addition to your home!
Lets start with the benefits of a gas fireplace: First off, gas fireplaces have and use real fire. Anytime you are using real fire they produce a lot of heat, so gas fireplaces are great heaters! Also being real, they have a much better look, and the flames are much more realistic and resembling a real gas fireplace. Now to the bad, gas fireplaces are usually more expensive because there is a lot more to them. Also they are usually larger and have a much more complicated install process. They also in most cases require venting, which can be difficult to install in a basement for example.
Now on to electric fireplaces. First off, lets start with the good. Electric fireplaces are naturally more affordable (because there is a lot less to them). Also they are much easier to install, being that really the only thing that they need is electrical ran to them, and are small enough to fit into a wall usually. And lastly this is a good and bad, they dont heat if you don't want them to. So you can run them in warm climates, and in the summertime.
The bad: Being cheaper, easier to install comes with a cost... and that is they simply cannot replicate a real fireplace. And that is the number 1 drawback to electric fireplaces is the look. Secondly is they cannot generate the heating power of a gas fireplace. Again sometimes this can be considered a good thing in the right climate.

*Very easy to set up and use, attractive but be sure you understand the height--it's not tall. The heat is not overwhelming, but steady and pleasant fireplace **fireplace.homes** . It's quiet, too. I like the possibility of easily moving it from room to room in the event we want supplemental heat elsewhere. Definitely a good buy.*

Nighttime temperatures in southern California can easily get cool enough to warrant a fireplace. Especially in homes near the ocean or in the mountains.

The electric fireplace at 5:25 actually looks the best out of all of them, including the gas fireplace. Unlike the other electric ones, it's not really trying to emulate a flame so much - instead, it's got its own unique thing going on. The others just look corny in comparison.

🤔 If the power goes out, electric won't work. Electric is more expensive on electric bill, But I would think it is safer to not have real flame, Right? Is electric safer then gas fireplaces? 🧐😵🤯 What about gas? Gas leaks? Would you have to fill it? Yearly? Would it be another bill? How does it work!? 🤔🤔😥😥😵😵
@embersliving
@embersliving 2 года назад
you won't get the same heat from and electric fireplace as you would a gas. Gas might overall be more expensive, but it will actually heat a larger area. We see a lot of people get electric if they power their home with Solar.

@embersliving
@embersliving 4 года назад
Yes and No. you are dealing with gas and electrical. So it’s always good to have a professional kill the gas, and an electrician hook up the new one. To ensure everything is done to local code. However you could do some of the demo yourself

depends on ceiling height, etc. But probably could bump it up a good 5 degrees
