Both electric and bioethanol fireplaces are great alternatives to both wood and gas fireplaces. Both types are great alternatives, since neither requires a chimney. As a result, they can be easily installed in any home. If, however, you still find it difficult to choose - in this article we will compare the two types of fireplaces and help you make the best decision.
To simplify it, we will look at the advantages and disadvantages of both types of fireplaces.
Bio fireplaces
If you still do not know what a bioethanol fireplace is and how it works, we will tell you now. Bioethanol fireplaces are fireplaces that do not require a chimney. They produce a good amount of warmth and instantly add a sense of coziness and comfort in any room.
Advantages
The most important advantages of bioethanol fireplaces are the true flames as well as the heat they release.
Disadvantages
Unfortunately it is not possible flames do not emit heat. If you do not need it, the easiest solution is to install a fan or just open the window.
Electric fireplaces
Electric fireplaces are known to almost everyone as fireplaces that just plug into the outlet. They have a fan that can be switched on and off, produce heat, and the electrical system creates a realistic illusion of flame.
Advantages
The most important advantages of electric fireplaces that should be noted are their safety and ease of use. They turn on very easily and since there are no real flames, the risk is minimal.
Disadvantages
Unfortunately, the biggest problem is the lack of real flames. Many customers end up giving up the electric fireplace because of the "false" feeling the flames give. It is most important to see how an electric fireplace works before you buy one to ensure that you enjoy the effects of the flame.
Still have questions?
We've always been big fans of electric fireplaces - if we didn't, we wouldn't sell them. Keep in mind that we may be a little biased when it comes to helping you make the final decision - we hope this article has given you the information you need to decide for yourself. However, we will highlight the key difference.
Conclusion
You need to choose an electric fireplace if you are not very interested in real flames or have a low budget. Electric fireplaces are much cheaper than quality (and safe) bioethanol fireplaces. For us, they are the perfect replacement for real fireplaces.
On the other hand, bioethanol fireplaces are very suitable if you want some warmth and real live flames. With them you will get the true feeling.
