Electric Fireplaces Provide Warmth, Ambience

(NAPSI)-Throughout much of the country, the rise in apartment living has led to the decline of various perks generally associated with house ownership-backyards, front porches and fireplaces among them.

It's unlikely that you'll see a porch or patch of grass tacked onto an apartment building anytime soon, but the latest technology makes it possible for people to once again know the joys of sitting in front of a crackling fire, even in residences (such as apartments) where a gas or wood-burning fireplace would be impossible-or at the very least impractical.

A company called Heat-N-Glo has developed state-of-the-art electric fireplaces that provide the romantic ambience of a traditional fireplace without the installation constraints. Because these units require no vent, they can be placed anywhere in the home or office, on an inside or outside wall, above or below grade.

With their robust construction and requirement for only an electrical power supply, the Builder Select ElectraFire 36-EBU and 42-EBU are a builder or consumer's dream. They can be installed quickly and inexpensively, and include such features as:

• Patented flame technology that provides the ambience and look of a real wood fire;
• Optional doors that offer the true look of a fireplace;
• Standard mesh screens to enhance the realism;
• Fan-forced heater that provides up to 10,000 BTUs of instant warmth; and
• A standard wall thermostat which can maintain a comfortable temperature in your room.

In addition, electric fireplaces pose no health risk or environmental threat. To learn more, visit www.heatnglo.com or call 888-427-3973.
