Hello,

September, October and November are our best months for Fireplace sales. below is a breakdown of our fireplace clases and products.

Electric Fireplaces: http://www.csnfireplaces.com/Electri...ces-C9263.html
• “Plug and Play” – lowest maintenance and easiest installation of any type of fireplace. No venting required.
• More affordable than wood burning/gas fireplaces
• Eco-Friendly – use up to 90% less energy than gas fireplaces, produce no greenhouse gases
• Can be used without heat for added ambiance i.e. great option for warmer climates
