The best space heater for you provides heat without ballooning your energy costs. There are two primary types of electric space heaters: radiant and ceramic. Radiant space heaters warm up its surrounding area, like a desk or nook. These heaters are a good choice for allergy sufferers since they don't blow around hot air.
Cambridge, Ontario – For an increasing number of consumers, the backyard patio or deck has become the location of choice for relaxing with family and friends. And as they spend more time in these outdoor rooms, it’s only natural that they look for ways to create a more charming and luxurious environment. In addition to the ordinary outdoor grill, radiant heaters, fireplaces, planters and even sound systems have become essential elements of the backyard living experience. To serve this growing market, Dimplex North America has developed today’s broadest and most sophisticated line of outdoor electric fireplaces.
“In developing our outdoor living line, we paid careful attention to how people use this part of their homes,” says Scott Wilson. “Whether they’re getting together with friends or enjoying some family time, they want to relax and experience the pleasures of nature. The safety and convenience of an electric fireplace alone are marvelous enhancements to this experience. You know, if you’re enjoying a soft and starry summer night with your spouse and children, it’s hard to really unwind if you’re constantly having to tend a wood fire and remind the kids not to get too close to the flames. Electric fireplaces just don’t have those problems. All you have to do is turn it on, take a seat and enjoy.”
Refined over more than 10 years of innovation, the Dimplex flame effect is heralded throughout the industry for its true-to-life realism. The soft romantic flicker of the flames plays in concert with the glow of the hand finished logs and the gentle pulse of embers. In addition to its authenticity, the Dimplex flame effect also offers the ultimate in convenience. Not only is it controlled by a handy remote; but as it is achieved with specially designed LED lights, you never even have to change the bulbs.
“Safety and convenience are just the start,” continues Wilson. “Today, many consumers are concerned about the environmental effects of their lifestyle choices. With that in mind, a Dimplex electric fireplace is clearly the most sustainable option. First, an electric fireplace produces no smoke, particulates, carbon dioxide or other emissions. This benefits not just the environment at large but perhaps more importantly, makes for a healthier atmosphere around home. Wood smoke is particularly harmful and you just don’t get those emissions from an electric fireplace. In addition, an electric fireplace helps preserve our natural resources by reducing the consumption of wood and fossil fuels.”
Looking at the Dimplex line model by model, one finds a selection of features that create a perfect fit for any lifestyle. In the Scottsdale, an expansive 36-inch firebox is showcased in a beautiful and durable stone-look cabinet, elegantly enhanced with oil-rubbed bronze detailing. A built-in CD player and AM/FM radio, plus a hidden compartment for connecting your MP3 player to the unit’s speakers, allows you to create an outdoor entertainment center. The Rockport is ideal for those looking to exercise their green thumb. It features a natural-looking stacked stone finish, built-in sealed planters and an integrated speaker system. The Rocklin displays its 26-inch firebox in a stylish stone-look cabinet that also provides a hidden compartment for connecting an MP3 player to its integrated speakers.
A more compact unit, the Spectra Outdoor Electric Stove features an ample 23-inch firebox, plus a technology that’s sure to be welcome in many backyards. The exclusive CitroBlock™ system creates an invisible insect barrier as the built-in fan quietly disperses pleasant citronella fragrance. Trimmed down to be the ideal choice for smaller patios, the Sierra Vista presents its 23-inch firebox in an elegant and durable stone-look cabinet, enhanced by a lovely terracotta-style inlay. The Deck Companion is sized and styled to perfectly complement any setting. It offers a clever feature to add a little extra touch of luxury: a removable cooler for storing beverages and snacks. But, even better, once the cooler is removed, you have a heated storage space that’s ideal for warming towels at poolside. And finally, as an excellent companion to any of its outdoor living units, Dimplex offers the Ventura Outdoor Radiant Heater, an efficient and environmentally sound heater that warms objects rather than the air,increasing the usability of the outdoor room in cooler seasons.
“Throughout our 10 years of leadership in electric fireplace technology, Dimplex has continually created compelling products by responding to consumers’ changing needs and lifestyles,” concludes Wilson. “Today, our full line of safe, convenient and environmentally friendly outdoor living products deliver the most complete range of features to complement and enhance the enjoyment of the outdoor room.”
