Compared with traditional fireplace, electric fireplace can really save space. Wall mounted electric fireplace and freestanding electric fireplace only need 6 to 10 inches of reserved space. No complicated installation requirements such as holes and vents. If you live in an apartment building or a self rented house, the electric fireplace may be a feasible choice for you to add comfort and atmosphere to your living space.

In terms of safety, the electric fireplace is safe for children and pets. There are no exposed hot surfaces that could cause accidental burns. The material is usually cool, except for heat sinks that may become hot. Another great advantage is that they do not emit any harmful gases and smoke, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
