No Commitment Required with the New ClassicFlame Converitible Electric Fireplaces

Commitment-phobes rejoice! ClassicFlame has recently released three Electric Fireplaces that can convert from a flat wall electric fireplace to a corner electric fireplace.  The new convertible electric fireplaces make it even easier for people who like to rearrange their furniture.

Electric Fireplaces were already great because they could be moved easily since they do not require venting or chimneys, but now they are even better because you can change the entire look of the fireplace.

With traditional fireplaces, furniture and decor was often designed around the fireplace and it was hard to change since the fireplace was a fixed feature.

Then, electric fireplaces made it easier to re-design a space based on the latest trends or maximize the Feng-Shui of a space, even then, a flat wall electric fireplace always had to be placed against a wall and a corner fireplace always had to be placed in a corner... Furniture placement was still somewhat dictated by the location of the fireplace.

Now begins the reign of the sofa! Change your furniture and your fireplace. Why commit when you can have it all?

Features:

• ClassicFlame technology - realistic logs with glowing ember beds

• Convertible mantel adjusts from flat wall to corner

  

• Fan forced blowers provide 4,900 BTU's and provide supplemental heat to up to 400 sq. feet

The Dimplex Celeste is one of our most popular Electric Stoves. The Celeste is available in Cream or Black and can provide supplemental heat for up to 400 sq. feet.  The Celeste has been a popular stove for Florida rooms and screened patios, although it is definitely not limited to these areas. It would look great in a bedroom, dining room, or living room as well.

Hope you enjoy the video!

Log Insert Match-up Dimplex vs. ClassicFlame

Classic Flame has recently unveiled their new 24" Electric Log Insert. This models closely rivals the Dimplex DFI2309 and DFI2310 models.  Classic Flame enhanced the flame effect, softened the edges, and made all LED technology standard.  Add a competitive price, and the new Classic Flame 24" electric log insert inspires some competition in a market Dimplex has previously dominated.

No Outlet?

I'm very proud of the way our electric grill section on ElectricFireplacesDirect.com turned out.  It was a project that I put a lot of research, thought, and creative effort into.  After researching different electric grills for months, I firmly believe they are far superior to regular grills. Consumers are having a hard time letting go of traditional thoughts, but hey, I understand. I just want to have the opportunity to educate.  

So when a couple I know, who recently bought a boat, said they wanted to grill on the boat my face lit up with the opportunity to tell them about our newly completed website. Part of me wanted to flaunt what I had been working on, and the other part wanted to sell one of our first marine grills. 

I emailed them FAQs, blogs, research, statistics; everything I had compiled. I sent a recommendation about which grill I thought would work best on their boat, which is nothing fancy, just a normal deck boat. I recommended one of our Cook Number grills that plugs into a standard outlet since their boat is smaller I didn't think they'd want a mounted grill.

 (This is the Cook Number Legacy I recommended)

July 4th weekend they showed up with a gas grill mounted on the boat! They absolutely hate it! They can't take it off to clean, it's not safe... There is an open flame and it only took one close call to realize waves, gas engines, and flames do not mix. 

When I asked why they did not consider an electric grill they responded their boat does not have an outlet...

If you have a boat, you don't need a standard outlet. You can use a power converter that runs off your boat's battery.  Power converters are easy to find. Google it... Plus, you won't have an open flame, you can take it off the boat when you're done, and it's simple to clean.

Most of us live in climates that only allow boat usage during certain months. The great thing about an electric grill is that it functions off the boat as well.  Once boating season is over you can still take your grill with you to football season, hunting season, ski season, where-ever your travels take you.  Don't be bolted down with a bulky, dangerous gas grill especially on the water! 

Plug in,

Michele

The Dimplex Purifire Fights Allergens

Allergies bogging you down?

The air in our homes may not be as clean as we would like it to be... Pet dander, pollen, and dust can trigger unpleasant allergies.  Many people resort to air purifiers, which sometimes look like household fans or may have futuristic designs, but even with a sleek design it is still hard to camouflage a air purifier; they don't easily fit into modern decor.

Consider an Dimplex Electric Fireplace with a Purifire firebox. The patented firebox is a breakthrough air filtering system that cleans air 24/7. The washable 20 x 10 allergy reduction filter can filter particles as small as 1 micron. It cleans the air in an average (12 x 14) size room 4 times per hour!
The Purifire comes in built-in inserts as well as part of mantel packages.
 
Other Features Include:

• Uses a 10" x 20" high-efficiency, washable filter.
• Air filter operates with the heater or may be run with the air-circulating fan only to provide continuous, quiet cleaning.
• Exceeds MERV 10 (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating - filters particulates and allergens as small as one micron
• Circulates and cleans the air of an average room four times per hour. (Based on a 12' x 14' room)
• Filter needs to be washed/replaced only once per year on average.

The air purification system from Dimplex is truly revolutionary. It can be used with or without heat - creating the ambiance of a fireplace and cleaning the air in your home at the same time. Visit us at www.electricfireplacesdirect.com to get yours today!

Electric Grills for Summer

Welcome Back,

I am very excited to announce our latest project... ElectricFireplacesDirect has recently created a whole new category for Electric Grills just in time for summer.  We are offering electric grills for marine use (marine as in boats, not the armed forces, although they can be used by Marines as well), apartments, condos, backyards, tailgating - virtually anywhere. 

The Electric Grills section of the website has turned out really well. The site is easy to navigate and with a lot of help from the manufacturers, we have many videos to offer as well.  You can actually watch how the grills perform with videos from: Kenyon, Dimplex, and Outdoor GreatRoom Company we also offer grills from Electri-Chef and hope to post a video from them soon.

We have added a information menu with green grilling, FAQs, Cleaning instructions, and Recipes.

Allow me to touch on the high points of Electric Grills.  If you are one of the growing number of Americans worried about the increase in various cancers, the obesity epidemic, and you have a raised awareness of environmental pollution, then keep reading, you may be surprised that electric grills offer great tasting grilled food but with much less mess, health risks, and pollution.

• Electric grills reach up to 600 degrees. They sear in flavor and then cook thoroughly. Several options, such as the Cook Number grills by Outdoor GreatRoom Company, have a temperature gauge that you place in the meat and set how well done you want it and it automatically cooks it to the correct internal temperature.  Let's say you're cooking hamburgers and you want them medium rare - Insert the temperature gauge, set the dial to beef and how well you want it done, then it cooks it to the correct medium rare temperature.  The Cook Number grill also has a searing plate which is great for veggies.  You can be a vegetarian and still find a use for an electric grill.
• Electric grills do not have a flame. Cooking without a flame eliminates the chance of grease flare ups which means you'll never have charred food.  The charred parts are actually the cancer causing agents in our food. Researchers from the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) have linked the connection between unhealthy lighter fluid and charcoal residue deposits in food with colorectal and pancreatic cancer.
• Electric grills can dramatically reduce gas and charcoal consumption. Take this into consideration: An estimated 60 million people light up their BBQs on the 4th of July – if half of the grills are charcoal, that is an estimated 30 million bags of charcoal and 15 million containers of lighter fluid. If the other 30 million cook on gas grills, that’s 30 million propane tanks all pumping gas into the air and food.
• If you read the last post about bans against gas grills, then you know electric grills are perfect for apartment and condos. Plus, you can tailgate with an electric grill! We are in Alabama, (Saban country, Roll Tide!) I'm trying to convince the higher powers I need to take one down to the Alabama games to show them off.

Not convinced yet?  Please post questions or comments - I'd love to hear your responses. Think we need to set up an Electric Grill table at Alabama Games?  Send us your comments!

That's the plug-in

Apartment and Condo Residents Outraged Over Grill Ban

While researching Electric Grills for our new website I came across dozens of blog posts regarding what to do when an apartment or condo association bans the use of gas, propane and charcoal grills.

        

Kyle Magin from the North Lake Tahoe Bonanza reported that regulations and ordinances had been in place for since 1991 for the Lake Tahoe area, but because residents complained about smoke and other careless grilling practices the local fire department began enforcing the laws. One resident was so upset she wrote a letter to the newspaper equating laws against barbecues as a crime against democracy: "The simple pleasure of grilling a steak is now a crime, punishable by a citation,talk about excessive government regulation: Why don't we just cut to the chase, and adopt Communism as our form of government right now?" - Pamela Miller local resident

Condos all over the county are adopting similar restrictions of barbecues for the protection of condo owners. Some owners rent their units and they can't regulate how responsibly a renter will use a gas or charcoal grill. For many owners their condo is an investment and banning grills is an easier solution than dealing with insurance companies to cover the cost of a condo burnt down by an irresponsible grill-er.

Luckily, grills have evolved as consumers needs have changed. We all don't have sprawling backyards with privacy fences and large patios for ordinary grills. Electric Grills provide an alternative for people who have limited space, face regulations, or just don't like the hassle of cleaning and maintaining a regular grill. 

A decade ago indoor cooking was revolutionized by the George Foreman grill - now that technology has been advanced and is ready to meet the needs of those affected by anti-grilling ordinances. Companies, like Dimplex, have taken the original Foreman grill and made it better! Join the revolution! Grill anytime from anywhere!

Home Remodeling Made Easy

Wouldn't it be nice to have a simple home remodeling project? The kind that doesn't require tearing out floors, or back-breaking labor?  If you need a way to update or renovate your home, I have the solution for you. This project involves picking out your favorite electric fireplace mantel package or entertainment center from the convenience of your own home and then waiting for your item to arrive. Once it gets there open the box, assemble, then plug in and you're finished.  No hauling equipment and supplies home from the mega store, no renting expensive tools and then paying late fees because the project took longer than expected. 

That old saying - you can have it done fast, right, or cheap. Pick two. - Does not apply here. You can have it all - Fast, Right, and Inexpensive.

Anyone doing house hunting right now? Is this just a trend in the south, or are people noticing the new construction patio homes all look exactly the same? Buyers want to see variety. If you're trying to sell your house and you want to make it stand out from all the others on the market add an electric fireplace. Not only is it energy efficient, but it also adds the value of a fireplace without the added value of construction.
