17 | Friday, October 4, 2013 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Warm up to an electric fireplace All that's required is an electrical outlet and any space can feature a beautiful, functioning fireplace. Ease of installation is just one benefits of an electric fireplace and that has Pauline Tripp, owner The Electric Fireplace Shop in Mississauga, wondering why more people don't consider adding one or more to their house, apartment or vacation home. The shop showcases 62 styles at last count and the new website, (theelectricfireplaceshop.com) to be launched next week, will include an extensive catalogue of mantels and fireplaces. Her company specializes in custom mantels in any finish, style or colour to match your décor and sized to fit any location. The quality crafted fireplace surrounds available in solid wood or veneer, are equipped with hidden compartments to house electronic components and store DVD collections. An electric fireplace glows with a realistic flame that operates with or without heat, and costs pennies per hour to run. The unit will heat a space of up to 300 square-feet but the glass front will never get hot, making it a safe choice for child-friendly homes. Another bonus of an electric fireplace is that as an investment, it can be moved like any other piece of furniture to a new home. An electric fireplace can be placed in any room and the options continue to expand with the most recent wall-mounted styles, installed at table height, providing a sleek, modern look. Pauline explains that there are many flame styles represented in the electric fireplace brands her store carries. The units come with a warranty and The Electric Fireplace Shop provides in-house warranty service and after-warranty service as well as delivery and set-up. About 60 per cent of mantels sold are custommade by the shop's contracted professionals and the remaining 40 per cent are crafted by Dimplex, another reputable company. While the store is visited by customers from as far away as Sudbury and Windsor, the majority of customers shop on the website and order by phone.
