Electric and ethanol
The electric fireplace
Electric fireplaces are so popular because they're easy to install, and they can generate heat or not. They're inexpensive to operate, and there's no need to deal with smoke, soot, or ash. You don't even need a lighter or fuel, so there are no real flames; which means there's no real danger. If you have children or pets, consider purchasing an electric fireplace with a glass panel that stays cool to the touch when in use.
The ethanol fireplace
They also don't require a flue! Because installing a fireplace is more expensive and requires a lot of work and expertise, many homeowners opt for ethanol fireplaces. The ethanol used doesn't emit smoke or produce ash. The flames are clean, so there's no need for a vent. It doesn't emit any dangerous particles. The emissions consist of water, heat, and a small amount of carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide produced is safe and is similar to that produced by two candles. This method is very environmentally friendly because the carbon dioxide is released into the environment and used by plants for photosynthesis.
Ethanol or electric, let yourself be tempted by one of these two technologies which will bring a real plus to your interior in terms of decoration or warmth.
