Nothing can add warmth to a room quite like an electric fireplace suite. They can be positioned against the wall and offer a sleek integration into the design of your home.
This particular model from Evonic features the latest LED flame technology, customizable settings, and apps that support remote management. It is also CSA-certified, and was able to maintain its cool temperature when tested in the lab.
Installation
Anyone with basic DIY skills can put up a freestanding electric fireplace suite. They are easy to install and look great in any living area. They are more practical than solid fuel or gas fireplaces, as they don't require chimneys. Contrary to gas fires, which release carbon monoxide, electric fires generate heat by heating up an element of metal that heats the air around it.
Most electric fires will be supplied with instructions and you should always follow these to ensure that the suite is fitted correctly. If you have any doubts or concerns regarding the installation, you can contact a qualified electrician for advice.
There are a few different ways to install an electric freestanding fire suite. One option is to place it on the wall with an adjustable wall bracket. This is a relatively simple job, and you'll often find a diagram in the box that shows the locations where you must drill holes and then insert raw plugs. Alternately, you can place the fire on a flat shelf. Make sure that the fireplace is mounted on a suitable base and that it is not touching any combustible materials.
A flat-wall electric fire set with an integrated surround is a different option. These surrounds are designed to be on the wall in a flush position, and they are available in both contemporary and traditional designs. Some surrounds include extra options, such as log storage or areas to display decor, which can enhance a room's look.
Some electric fireplaces include an installation kit which allows them to be inserted into a wall cavity. This is a more complex project that requires professional skills. Consult an expert before installing a recessed fire to prevent costly injuries or damage.
You'll be able to immediately experience the warmth and comfort your new electric fireplace suite offers. The flames from the fire can be seen on the front of the unit and they create a warm and cozy ambience in your home. In addition, they assist in increasing the value of your property and increase its appeal to potential buyers.
Safety
Electric fireplaces are an excellent method of warming your home without worrying about carbon monoxide poisoning. But as with any heating system for your home there are certain safety measures and regulations that you must follow to prevent fire or other accidents. This includes keeping the fireplace out of combustible material, making sure that pets and children do not get too close to the flame and keeping a distance between the wall of the fireplace and the fireplace.
It is crucial to read and follow the instructions of the manufacturer if you are planning to install an electric fireplace in your home. These guidelines will ensure that your fireplace is set up and operating correctly, and help you avoid any potential dangers. It is also essential to keep an extinguisher in the event of an emergency.
It is recommended to check your electric fireplace on a regular basis for signs of wear and tear to prolong its life. This will let you fix any problems before they become major problems and prevent the need for costly repairs. It's also recommended to regularly clean your fireplace with a damp, clean cloth to get rid of dust or dirt.
The most important thing to keep in mind when using an electric fireplace is not to leave it unattended. This is especially crucial in the case of children or pets in the house. A fireplace that is not properly maintained can be dangerous and even a small flame can cause burns. It is recommended to install a CO2 and fire alarm in your home. These can detect dangerous gases that are deadly if breathed in.
You should also make sure that you do not use extension cords with your electric fire suite. They could pose an ignition risk since they were not designed to handle the intense temperature generated by an electric fireplace suite . Use a power strip designed specifically for your electric fire suite. It will allow you to control the fireplace and other electronic devices.
The output of heat
The output of heat from an electric fire suite that is freestanding is an important factor to consider when purchasing one, as it will determine how much warmth it generates. The higher the kW rating, the more heat the fireplace can produce. This will usually warm a room that is medium-sized.
The most powerful electric fireplaces can produce 2kW of heat, which would suffice for a small to medium-sized living area. This makes them a great heating option for those looking for a stove with a wood burning design but don't want the hassle of cleaning up the ash and building a chimney.
There are models with more of a flame image in addition to the standard kW output. This makes them more attractive visually. These models are more likely to use LED technology that can create a realistic flame effect. Some models come with a 7-day programmable timer so you can manage the fire remotely.
Some electric fire suites also include built-in surrounds in either traditional or contemporary styles. This allows you to frame the fire and create a focal point in your living space. Some surrounds include media units, log stores and places to display decor which allows you to personalize your electric fire suite to suit your interior design.
There are numerous elegant electric fireplace suites that can be chosen to give you a modern style. For example the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Vardo electric fireplace comes with a stunning black finish, while the Flamerite Jaeger 1020 is designed to fit in a straight line against the wall with a flat surface.
Another alternative is an infrared electrical fire suite, which uses infrared lights to warm the surfaces and objects in your home. This kind of heating is more efficient than fan-type heaters that only warm the air. It is crucial to remember that infrared heat can only be used on surfaces and objects that are directly in the path of the heat beams.
There are electric fires that generate heat as high as 3kW. This is enough energy to warm a large living area. However, the majority of electric fire suites we offer have heat outputs that are in the 1kW-2kW range, which is more than enough for the majority of living rooms.
Style
Freestanding electric fires are a great option for homes that do not have chimney breasts. They are designed to lie on a flat surface against a wall. These suites are available in contemporary and traditional styles and can be a gorgeous focal feature for any room. Many of these models also have built in features like log storage, and even places to display decor, which improve the appearance.
They do not emit harmful gases or smoke, unlike wood and gas stoves. They create heat by using a fan that draws in cold air, then passes it through hot metal coils to warm it. The heated air is then released through the back. These suites are ideal for families with children or those who have breathing problems like asthma.
The electric fire suites have an advantage over gas fireplaces because they don't require a flue, so they are simple to set up and don't require any professional fitting. The Flamerite Lola LED electric fireplace suite is a great example of this, and can be attached to any flat wall in your home. It also comes with an area for storage to store dried logs, which are not included.
Elgin & Hall Farnham Deluxe Fireplace Suite is a great example. It has a chic Chollerton electric fire inset and comes in a variety of finishes. Fires2U offers a wide range of electric suites that can be installed on the wall flat, including the Flamerite Aubade and Tennyson models. They are simple to install and come with downlights in the surround.
The Be Modern Flare Beadnell Suite is a different modern design that combines a striking granite top shelf with an integrated Elsie 900 electric fireplace. This model comes with an Ice White finish and is sure to attract attention. This suite can also be used with a real log burner, if you prefer to add the look of real wood to your living space.
