Our basement is almost always chilly. I know that it is because heat rises, although I just hate that it is chilly down there because that is where the teenagers usually play. I care about that they can have an entire basement worth of space to play in. It is legitimately nice for them. They just care about it! I don’t want to keep them from playing down there, so I try and heat it the best that I can. I had been using two electric space heaters for a while, but one of them stopped working, and the other one could not heat the basement on its own. I thought about getting another electric space heating system like the one that I had, although I realize that I could get an electric fireplace that would put off more heat while using the same amount of electricity. I knew that it would be more extravagant outright, although I was willing to pay the price. I knew that the fireplace would look much more aesthetically pleasing as well. I am so glad that I decided to get a fireplace instead of another heating system like I had. It really puts off a lot more heat, and it is appealing. My teenagers care about the looks of it as well. I don’t have to worry about them burning themselves on it either. The way the heat comes out of the top prevents the teenagers from being able to burn themselves. Even my youngest who is only four months outdated loves to rest and watch the fake flames. It has honestly been nice for our whole family.
