One of the greatest benefits of electric fireplaces is its simplicity. No logs to replace, no ash to clean, no worry of stray embers—these are just a few of the many ways electric fireplaces make cozy living easier than ever. But the greatest convenience fits in the palm of your hand. Remote control electric fireplaces transform your environment with the ambient warmth of a fire from the comfort of your couch (preferably with a hot cocoa in hand).
Remote Control
Traditional fireplaces have served as the focal point of any room for centuries now. A source of warmth and light, they’ve become comfort zones in their own right. Nowadays, they are the focal point of countless problems. The space, the maintenance and the pollutants are all contributing factors to the rising trend of electric fireplaces. Electric fireplaces provide the architectural ambience and warmth of conventional fireplaces but with less cost, less maintenance and a smaller carbon footprint.
Oak has been a popular choice for both conventional and electric fireplaces for many reasons. The rich color and grain markings bring a traditional feel to even the most modern electric fireplaces while its strength and durability ensure a lasting investment. Even the smallest apartment and condos can now enjoy the luxury of an oak fireplace with all the convenience electric offers.
It is important for you to evaluate the space you have available for your new fireplace prior to shopping. Not only should you be measuring floor space, but wall space as well. Many electric fireplaces come with aesthetic accents like carved pillars or oversized mantles. Some will even feature storage options like built-in shelves or TV stands.

This comes down to both the size of the room and your local climate. Most portable electric heaters have the capacity to heat a 400 square foot room from 50 to 70 degrees. While this would provide ample power to chase off Autumn drafts, it might not be up to the task of keeping a large rec room warm in more extreme temperatures.
