A flat screen TV, for some, is an eyesore as it grabs attention and detracts from a home's design. Do you feel the same way? If so, then you can regain some space from your bedroom or living room and bring back the attention to your space's focal point by getting an electric fireplace with a TV lift.
Electric fireplaces with TV lifts allow you to hide flat screen TVs and slide them up whenever they are needed. As there are lots of aspects that have to be addressed when buying a furniture that has an innovative design such as the TV lift with e-fireplace, check out our buying guide below.
There are different forms of implementation for the moving display of electric fireplaces with TV lifts:
- Pop Up TV Lift - This type of TV lift is quite popular. In fact, it’s the most common one. It doesn’t require complex operational know-how to use a pop up tv lift as it just needs plugging in. When the flat screen is hidden, it’s protected by the cabinet’s reliable structure and it’s not exposed to external effects.
- Drop Down Lift - A drop down lift is also known as the ceiling lift. It is utilized by full-sized entertainment centers, so this is your most expensive option. It's also not very popular as most homeowners are not confident about the safety of the TV while it’s supported by a drop down lift. Nevertheless, it’s one of your options.
As you are likely to buy an electric fireplace with a TV lift and a flat screen TV separately, you need to ensure your new TV lift cabinet can accommodate the size of your flat screen TV. Otherwise, you would not be able to make use of the lifting mechanism of your new cabinet.
Most electric fireplaces that are added to TV lift cabinets operate on the standard 120V outlet. They work in different types of heat, namely infrared quartz, and forced fan.
- Forced Fan - With a forced fan, a silent fan will blow over the heated coils in order to produce enough heat to warm a room.
- Infrared Quartz - With an infrared quartz, the heat is being delivered by the electric fireplace using invisible infrared light. This light warms all the things that it touches rather than the air surrounding it. This creates a more comfortable living room environment.
When both types of electric fireplaces are in operation, every single thing surrounding the appliances is warmed expect for the cabinet and the flat screen TV when it’s hidden as they will remain cool. This is one of the reasons why electric fireplaces are attractive options for households with pets and children.
To ensure your heating needs are addressed by your new electric fireplace with TV lift, consider the uses of the unit, as well as the size of your room which you’re heating. A forced fan fireplace is best for a room that’s no more than 400 square feet. An infrared quartz unit, on the other hand, is suitable for a room that’s up to 1,000 square feet.
