I am not sure if this makes any sense or not, however my fireplace recently was on fire! And when I say that, I am talking about it being an electric fireplace.
- The electric fireplace is not supposed to have real fire going on.
However, there was a short in my electric fireplace as well as the thing literally caught fire! You may think that could have been a great thing. Having a fireplace that was fake becoming a real fireplace. It was not great by any means! The fire that happened in the electric fireplace could have caused my entire home to burn down! I was lucky enough to put out the fire from my electric fireplace pretty quickly, however once it was out, the entirely next day I called a fireplace specialist from the local shop in town that I bought the electric fireplace from in the first location. The specialist came out to my home as well as found what had caused the short in the electric fireplace. The fireplace specialist also told me that I was lucky to have caught it as the fire broke out. If I had not been right there, as I said, my entire home could have burnt down! I decided to get rid of the electric fireplace as well as not have the specialist service it. I think what I am going to do after I get a refund, is look into possibly getting either a gas fireplace or building a real fireplace on to my home as a renovation addition! Both of those possibilities seem to be a lot safer after this experience.
