In a house there are numerous features - but one of the greatest is the fireplace.
For years me and my husband had wished to have a house that would have one built into it.
After waiting a while we were able to get it and we were thrilled.
For at least the first couple of months.
When winter hit we understood the full extent to what it meant to have one.
Our first winter we used it only once.
It was during that time we learned that it took such a long time to start the fire, the smoke still crawled into the home, and in order for us to get warm you were forced to sit right in front of it.
After that we looked into shifting over to an electric fireplace.
Many of you are suspicious about these things and they don't always seem functional.
It is true that they do not produce large measures of heat - but this was not what I was searching for in a fireplace.
I was betting for something that would help to make my house look inviting and would make a relaxing ambience that assisted to make people feel comfortable.
Putting in the unit wasn't challenging - but it was slightly more pricey than we wished it to be.
After the unit was established we bought the faux logs that would sit within and make the illusion of the fire more 'real' looking.
Than we turned it all on and admired our new luxury.
This was something worth putting money into.
With this unit you control the amount of heat it gives off (it does make some quantity of heat).
It is able to be turned on or off at the click of the button and is perpetually ready to be turned on! You don't need to stoke it or buy fuel to keep it going.
The second greatest thing about the electric fireplace was the power we had to use this through the entire year.
During Christmas we had it on and it served to make a joyous mood.
When it was summer and we had friends over we turned it on to make everything more relaxing.
For anniversaries it assisted as a good backdrop to a candlelit dinner party.
