Nothing adds warmth and beauty like a crackling fireplace, but not every home can have one. Maybe you live in a high-rise, or you rent or you plan to move soon, and a fireplace just isn't feasible, practical or affordable. There now is a solution for you; a new breed of electric fireplaces is on the market. They look realistic, give off heat, and snap, crackle and pop just like the real thing. They have attractive mantels and surrounds, and plug in to any standard outlet. When it's time to move, unplug it, and take it with you. With low-watt consumption and fans for heated air, they rival gas logs and natural wood-burning fireplaces in almost every way. They flicker and glow and burn high or low. Just flip a switch for instant atmosphere. And that's the On The House tip for today.
