In contrast to traditional fireplaces that require costly construction and messy ash cleaning electric logs provide an ambience and look without the hassle. They are simple to set up, and they can be used with or without heating. A stack of painted, man-made logs is set on top of metal grates. They plug into an outlet with a built-in heater as well as fan push warm air through the fireplace. Realistic Flames As the industry of electric fireplaces has grown the flame effects have gotten more life-like. Many people are unable to discern the difference between an electric fireplace and a traditional wood or gas fireplace. There are a variety of flame effects, including LED lighting projections as well as water vapor. Each type of effect has its advantages and disadvantages. One of the most realistic types of flames is developed by MagikFlame. Dimplex uses this system, which features the rotating cylindrical, which has mirror-like tabs reflecting colored LED lights. The result is an authentic flame silhouette against a dark background. Other companies use similar technology. However it is important to note that the reflective surface can collect dirt and dust over time, which can decrease the effectiveness of the flame effect. Chemical flames are a different kind of flame effect. This is made using the can of Sterno fuel and produces a stunning fire effect. The flame is a single point and does not appear chaotic like a natural fire has. This kind of flame requires a continuous fuel supply and can be messy. A third type of fire is a fogger that produces water vapor. This produces a stunning effect, but it can be messy and difficult to maintain. The fogger is equipped with tiny holes that could get clogged with minerals and calcium from hard water this is why it is essential to use distilled or filtering water. Foggers also create a lot of noise, which may disrupt the peace and tranquility of your home. The ember bed, though important for a realistic fire, is also vital. The ember bed is the substance which reflects the flames within a fire, and it can be made of anything from real logs to futuristic metal pipes. Certain manufacturers offer faux stone options as an ember bed. One of the best ways to get a more natural-looking fireplace is to put an insert inside your existing fireplace. This option is more expensive than a separate log set, but it can provide an even more realistic and customizable appearance. The heater in the insert can keep you warm without a separate log burner. No Heat Electric fireplace logs give you the ambiance of a fire without the heat. The electric fireplace logs can be plugged directly into an existing wood or masonry fireplace opening. They come with a remote to switch between different settings. There are a variety of styles for the fire and logs that include a modern option that looks just as real wood with the illusion of flickering flames over bark chippings. There are also options that have antique brass accents to suit homeowners who prefer a more traditional appearance. In contrast to gas-powered fireplaces that require a gas line and venting, electric fire logs plug into a standard wall outlet. They produce around 5500 BTUs of additional heat, enough to warm an average-sized room. They also consume minimal electricity, making them an ideal option for homes with small space and/or budget. Regular maintenance is the most effective way to maintain a good working electric fireplace log set. This can include cleaning, replacing parts as necessary and adherence to manufacturer instructions to ensure safe operation. Deodorizers can aid in reducing the smell of smoke. There are a variety of factors that can cause an electric fireplace to not heat up The most common one is faulty heating elements. These elements are the ones responsible for creating the illusion of real fire. However, they may fail and become unusable over time. Inaccuracy in thermostats and other issues that affect temperature control can also cause no heating. Some electric fireplaces come with a misting system which sprays water onto the ember bed to create a steamy appearance. This can be especially useful in winter when the air is cold and dry, and it can also provide a pleasant ambience all year round. The only other modification needed for an electric log set besides replacing the logs and the ember bed, is to upgrade its power supply. You can upgrade the power supply by either replacing the current cord or replacing it completely. To avoid damaging other components, it is essential to select a replacement cable that is of the same quality of the original. Easy to Install You can pick from a range of electric logs that can be incorporated into your fireplace that is already masonry. Plug them in and turn them on to instantly create ambience. They are typically not expensive, and they are a great alternative to traditional fireplaces that requires costly installation. They also don't create harmful emissions, so you don't have to worry about your home smelling like smoke or your furniture yellowing from smoke stains. An electric log set consists of a set of man-made logs that have been painted on the grate of metal that can be placed within your existing hearth. Plugged into a standard electrical outlet, these units give the appearance of flames using standard light bulbs and technology that reflects light in a three-dimensional pattern. They typically produce about 5,000 BTUs, which is enough to provide additional heat for up 400 square feet of space. Some models come with a remote control that allows you to control the intensity, heat and flame height as well as the color of the embers. Some models also have an automatic timer that can be set to automatically shut off the logs and on for a predetermined duration of time. You can choose between a log-only model and one that has an electric heater in the center of the fireplace logs. The heater models are able to be used all year long for a cozy, comfortable space without the hassle of chopping wood or cleaning up ash. They're usually less expensive than a traditional wood-burning fireplace and can be set up in less than an hour, even for those who don't know how build an actual fire. Electric fireplaces don't require special ventilation as do wood or gas fireplaces. They only produce warm air and no harmful fumes that could irritate your throat and nose. It's simple to use. Simply turn them on, and take in the glow of flickering flames, or press a button to engage the heater for an extra-cozy feeling in your living room. You can also put them on flame-only mode for summer parties if you simply want to enjoy a bit of ambiance without heat. Style Options For homeowners who like the appearance of a fireplace, but don't want the hassles of burning wood or cleaning up ash, electric logs and inserts are a low-cost maintenance-free alternative. Unlike gas log sets, which require venting and gas lines, electric fireplaces don't require venting and no smoke or soot. Most options are controlled by remote control, so you can easily turn on the fireplace and control the flames or embers of any room. There are many options available, from modern designs with a angular frame to more traditional designs and sizes. Certain brands provide a range of colors, ranging from a cool blue hue to an intense red-orange glow. The flames' appearance can be altered. Some models project onto water vapor, in an effort to create a 3D effect and others display a lively dance of alternating colours that mimic smoldering embers. A fireplace log set is among the easiest ways to update a fireplace that is masonry. These consist of bundles of painted man-made logs atop an iron grate that can be inserted into an existing chimney and plugged into an outlet on the wall. A fan and heater in the unit push warm air into the room, and an LED light "flame" is projected onto a back panel to create a realistic effect. Electric fireplace inserts are another option. They are designed to fit in a standard chimney. These types of fireplaces typically have an even more realistic look than log sets, and they can be plugged into a regular wall outlet or hardwired into the electrical system by a qualified electrician. They can be plugged into a recess in the wall to give the room a modern, sleek appearance.  Both options are good alternatives to a gas fire which could require a venting or chimney system and be prone to leaks in the chimney, or inefficient heating. However an insert or a log set could be too large to fit in an opening in a masonry fireplace that is smaller and you may need to hire a professional to measure and install a custom-built surround around your existing hearth.
