ELECTRIC FIREPLACES with MANTELS Got a room that needs a cozy focal point? An electric fireplace with a designer mantel brings your room together perfectly... and brings the family together, too. Our selection includes a variety of styles, including specialty reproduction styles for historic homes or a vintage decor plus modern European styles. We offer log effect fires, coal effect fires and even fires featuring stones, salt rocks and crystals. Our electric fireplace suites come complete with a mantel. Some assembly is required, but you can take from boxed to operating in hardly no time at all, usually less than an hour. All models plug in to a stardard 3 prong electric outlet with no special wiring needed. FLICKERING FLAME TECHNOLOGY continues to develop electric fires that are simply mesmerizing. Many visitors in our store actually have to ask which fireplaces are electric and which ones are gas! GOES ANYWHERE! No venting is required for an electric fireplace. There is no fume or exhaust of any kind. We have a size and style available to suit any decor. AMBIENCE from the dancing flame provides a warm and soothing glow of firelight in any room. Enjoy a "fire" no matter the season by using the fireplace with the heater turned off. When you want extra heat, it's at the ready at the touch of a button. HEATS GREAT. Electric fires provide enough heat (4500-5000 average btu's) to serve as the sole source of heat for a room about 400 square feet. They're also great for sun porches and basements that lack central heat. An electric fireplace can also provide zone heating; turn down your thermostat and warm a room or two while saving heating dollars. ECONOMICAL to install and operate. No special preparation is needed to install an electric fireplace. Electric fires use a regular household electric outlet. Spare the expense of running gas lines and chimneys with a plug-in fire. They're cheap to operate too - about 2-3 cents an hour on the "flame only" setting, about 7-8 cents an hour when you run the heater.
