A fireplace is a warm and cosy part of your home however if your house was not built with a fitted fireplace adding one can be very expensive. No need to worry affordable fireplaces now come in the form of electric and gas so let’s take a look at the pros and cons:

Electric fireplaces were invented in 1912 however they only became popular in the 1950’s.

  • Extremely versatile!

  • Recreates a roaring fire through visual lighting effects
  • Very safe they operate without producing harmful emissions

Cons

  • Not designed to be a primary source of heat
  • Obviously electric fireplaces require an electric source

Gas Fireplaces first became popular in the 1900s.

  • Effective alternative to traditional fires for decades.

Is it cheaper to have a gas or electric fireplace?
