Electric Freestanding Fire Tips From The Best In The Business

Electric Freestanding Fire

Electric fires are a great alternative to traditional fireplaces. They don't need chimneys or flues, and plug directly into an electrical outlet.

There are many designs to select from, in style from modern and sleek to traditional. The ideal freestanding electric fireplace is contingent on the style of your home and your preferences. Consider factors like installation flexibility as well as energy efficiency and aesthetics.

Installation flexibility

Electric fireplaces can be easily transferred from one room to another. They're not as big as gas fireplaces which require venting through a chimney or flue. These are a great option for rental properties that do not permit modification of the home's layout, or as an alternative option to heat a guest room and make it feel more welcoming. You can also control the heat settings and visual effects with a remote.

We even have a variety of all-in-one sets, such as the Celsi Flamonik Rapture or the Dimplex Bach, that feature an entire mantelpiece and frame, providing an attractive, complete fireplace solution without the need for structural modifications.

After you've decided on your design the next step is to choose the best location for the electric fire. If you're planning to install an electric fire that is freestanding pick a spot where the mains electricity can be accessed. Also, ensure that there is enough space between combustible material and the installation. If you're looking to set your new fire inside an existing fireplace opening be sure to measure the dimensions of your chimney breast and fireplace opening and buy an electric fireplace that has the right kW rating for your space.

A high heating output is essential especially when you have a large space to warm. A higher kW rating will use more electricity which is why it's important to consider the dimensions of your living area and the amount of time you'll spend in it before selecting the right model. You can also control the power consumption of your electric fireplace by using features like thermostats or timers. They will automatically shut off the fire after a predetermined amount of time or after a desired temperature has been attained.

You can use your electric fire to create a warm and cozy atmosphere even when the flame effect is off. To ensure your safety, check out for features such as overheating protection, cool-to-touch glass or child locks if you have young children living in the home.

Energy efficiency

In these times of uncertainty it's important to know that a new electric fireplace will not only look good but can also help you reduce energy costs. That's especially important when it comes to freestanding models that don't require a chimney or flue.

Like almost every electrical appliance the cost of running an electric fire depends on several aspects. The most important is the amount of heat it produces which is measured in Kilowatts. A high-heat model will use more energy than a lower-heat alternative, but there's the size of your space to think about - an electric fireplace that's too large for your room will waste energy heating up empty space.

Most electric fires don't cost much to run and won't increase your electric bill. Many electric fires feature features for controlling temperature, such as timers and thermostats to help regulate usage and reduce unnecessary power consumption. Since they don't release a real flame, they are more friendly to the earth and healthier for people suffering from respiratory conditions.

Most electric fires require no maintenance, as there's no need to cut wood, tend to a flame or remove the ash. Many electric fires come with long-lasting LEDs that can be replaced with a standard lightbulb which means that your fire will look as good as the day you bought it.

Controllability

Freestanding electric fireplaces are a great solution for homes that don't have chimneys or flues. They can be positioned in any space and are easy to move from one space to another - they don't even need to be built into the wall. It is important to know the long-term effects of energy use and how much an electric fire will cost to run in your home prior to you purchase. Electric fires are usually measured in kW. The greater the number is, the more energy they use per hour. You can determine the kW rating by taking a look at your space and determining the heating requirements for the space in which you're planning to put the fireplace.
