I am currently looking to purchase a property for the first time, and i have seen over twenty homes and I have tighted my search down to my two number one homes, then the only major difference between the two homes I cherish is that one has a gas fireplace and one has an electric fireplace.
They are similar in other ways.
The locations are unbelievable for both, they both have a similar square footage, yard space, and layout. They both have central heat and air conditioner. I did not have a fireplace growing up so I had to do some research to see the pros and cons of a gas fireplace and an electric fireplace so I could make my decision a little bit easier. The first pro that comes to mind when I know of a gas fireplace is the sight, sound, and odor. I have consistently appreciated resting by a campfire growing up, and a gas fireplace could replicate that feeling in my home. Another pro of a gas fireplace is that it can heat a crucial room relatively abruptly. The gas fireplace is in the family room of my potential home which is a crucial room. A con of a gas fireplace is it can be a safety issue especially if I decide to have children one afternoon.If the gas fireplace is not maintained or installed correctly, it can give off harmful and toxic emissions. A pro of an electric fireplace is that it does not give off harmful emissions, so it is considered to be safer. A con of electric fireplaces is that they do not heat as abruptly or as much space as gas fireplaces do.
