Electric fireplaces offer the look of a wood fire that comes to life at the flick of a switch. Many are available with electric heaters concealed among the logs or above the fireplace opening for efficient space heating. Thermostatically controlled, these heaters turn on and off automatically in response to room temperature requirements.

With no gas lines to run or chimney to install, electric fireplaces can go absolutely anywhere in a home. All you need is a wall and a normal 110 electrical outlet. What is more ... you can take an electric unit with you if you move.
