Are electric fires environmentally safe?
|
|
|
Burley electric fires are extremely environmentally friendly. Since there is no vent, no heat is wasted on warming up the earth’s atmosphere. All the heat remains in the room. No fossil fuels are used to create either the heat or the flame, so there is no contribution to global warming. The fire’s thermostat guarantees the correct heat output and thus saves wasting electricity on unnecessary heat.
