ElectricFireplacesDirect.com Report Electric Fireplace Log Inserts Increasing Sales
As the seasons change to colder temperatures, many consumers are converting traditional wood and gas fireplaces to electric fireplaces to warm their homes securely, efficiently and economically.
Online, September 5, 2011 (Newswire.com) - ElectricFireplacesDirect.com, the largest online retailer of electric fireplaces, has seen an impressive increase in the interest of electric fireplace log inserts during the close of summer. Consumers are progressively looking to electric heating solutions during colder temperatures to provide supplemental heat to their homes efficiently and economically.
Converting a traditional wood or gas fireplace is easy. ElectricFireplacesDirect.com offers two new electric log inserts; Comfort Smart Electric Fireplace Insert/Log Sets emit supplemental heat up to 400 square feet and feature realistic logs with natural glowing ember bed. ElectricFireplacesDirect.com's electric fireplace log insert fits into any existing wood or gas log fireplace. The electric inserts are made to fit into existing masonry fireplaces or gas fireboxes. Since the log sets don't require any venting, it's simple to seal off the existing flue and start using an electric fireplace log insert immediately.
To power the electric fireplace, homeowners simply plug into a 120-volt household electrical outlet, making this DIY project up and running within minutes. The electric log set heater provides a safe way to provide supplemental heat in any room up to 400 square feet. Electric fireplaces provide an energy saving alternative that costs just eight cents an hour to operate with the heat source on, and three cents an hour to use the fireplace without heat.
"Our selection of electric fireplace inserts are perfect for retrofit applications to convert an existing gas or wood fireplace to life. Many fireplaces sit unused all winter long either because of the mess, dangerous emissions, safety hazards or the expense of running them, but by installing an electric fireplace insert, those fireplaces once again become the one of the best features of any house," said Rick Morse, CEO of ElectricFireplacesDirect.com (http://www.electricfireplacesdirect.com).
