Convert Your Fireplace Into an Electric Fireplace
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Alexander_Sutton]Alexander Sutton
Many older homes have fireplaces in the walls, but in many ways, having a burning fire in the home is simply not practical. For example, people with small children might be wary of having an open flame. Even people with animals might be wary. Homes with fireplaces have an increased chance of partially or completely burning to the ground. Also, people that regularly burn fires in the fireplaces also need to worry about cleaning out the chimneys. If they do not go to the trouble, or expense, of cleaning out the chimneys, then the potential of a dangerous, even deadly, fire increases. But just because it's too dangerous, time consuming, expensive, or inconvenient to light real fires does not mean you have to live without one. You can convert your fireplace into an electric fireplace.
It is very simple to convert your fireplace into an electric fireplace with inserts. The inserts are not just pretty lights that give you something to look at and provide a bit of ambiance in the dark. The inserts can fully replace the real logs and the real flames. First, the inserts generate heat and use powerful fans to spread their heat through the room. This makes them a very convenient, and even necessary, part of a home during the winter months. Second, the inserts eliminate hot coals, ashes, and smoke, which will definitely keep your house cleaner and smelling better. Third, they are no danger to children or animals. Fourth, they can be plugged into any standard house outlet, which makes them not only straightforward but super easy to install.
You can convert your fireplace into an electric fireplace for very little money, and even little effort and time. It might be the best way to childproof your fireplace without losing the beauty or the functionality of said fireplace.
