Electric fireplaces started to gain popularity in the '90s but have come a long way since then! Many think of an unrealistic, faux design but that is no longer the case! Thanks to Dimplex North America, the leader in electric fireplaces and heating, we now have beautiful, energy-efficient fireplace options that you'll love for years to come! Let's dive into five reasons why we recommend Dimplex electric fireplaces!

1. They're better for your health and safety! Compared to traditional wood burning fireplaces, electric fireplaces give off zero smoke, emissions, or dust. Real wood burning fireplaces reduce the air quality of your home, which is extremely difficult for people with allergies or medical conditions. Dimplex fireplaces and stoves have full electrical certification throughout North America, and they don’t use any combustible energy sources for the flame! If you're concerned about children, you don't need to worry as the glass remains cool to the touch.
2. There are many style options! From traditional to contemporary, Dimplex offers a wide selection of fireplaces to suit your tastes! Some unique options include media consoles (3 in 1: fireplace, storage, and TV stand), electric stoves, fireplace mantels, or inserts to be installed in already existing fireplaces.
Think outside the box and consider putting a fireplace in your kitchen, dining room, bedroom, or basement! There's no need for a chimney! They're great for renters, apartment buildings, and condos as well!

3. They're low maintenance! There's no need to brush soot or ash, chop and store firewood, or hire a chimney cleaner with an electric option! Just plug in, sit back and relax with your remote to control the settings (depending on the model). You can use your Dimplex all year as well, with or without heat!
4. They'll save you money! The cost of installing a traditional wood-burning or gas fireplace is a lot more than an electric! You have to think about materials, installation, and service checks! With a Dimplex, all you have to do is plug in and enjoy!
5. They're energy efficient! Energy efficiency is a hot topic these days. Dimplex flames use slightly under 300 Watts of power with the unit operating for 3 cents an hour on average! If you add heat, it's approximately 8 cents an hour! Rest assured, adding an electric fireplace won't hurt your pocketbook.
