That means, if you are enjoying the hot summer months of June but desire the peaceful
effects of a surrounding fire, you might really love an electric fireplace, as it will give you just that but not turn your home into an oven. All you have to do is plug it in and watch as the flames sprout up and bedazzle you with their beauty and power. Sometimes people need fires for other reasons but do not want to risk turning on the hot flames of an actual wood burning hearth. For example, suppose you go through a terrible break up in the middle of summer and wish to get rid of all memories, photos, and love letters. You might want to burn them to ashes but you are afraid of causing your house to turn into a fire pit, so instead, you can light an electric fireplace and burn anything that you want with ease.
