EL60 Electric Fireplace

How do electric fireplaces work?

Rather than relying on the combustion of wood or gas, heat is generated by running electricity through a heating element. Then, the heating coil and fan transfers warmth directly to the room. Unlike traditional fireplaces, the warmth stays in the room and is not lost through a chimney for maximum efficiency. The heating elements sit behind a cool to the touch glass screen allowing for safe operation around children and pets. To produce the dynamic feel of real flames, light from a low energy LED bulb bounces off of a rotisserie-style silver refractor with three-dimensional patterns that create the illusion of a flickering flame. Realistic electric fireplaces offer all the enjoyment of traditional fireplaces without the hassle. They don’t need a fuel source and they don’t require any of the cleanup or maintenance involved in utilizing wood, coal, or fuel.
