Electric fires are a convenient alternative to traditional fireplaces. Electric fires do not require chimneys or flues and can be directly connected to the power outlet.
There are a variety of designs to select from, in style from modern and sleek to traditional. The best freestanding electric fireplace is contingent on the design of your home as well as your personal preferences. Consider factors such as the flexibility of installation and energy efficiency as well as aesthetics.
Installation flexibility
Electric fireplaces are able to be moved from one area to another. They are not like gas fireplaces that require venting through a chimney or flue. Electric fireplaces are a great option for rental properties where it is not possible to change the layout of the home. They can also be used as means to warm a guest bedroom and make it more welcoming. You can also control the heating settings and visual effects with the remote.

standing electric fires, including styles from traditional to contemporary. You can pick from wall-mounted electric fires that can be hung from or placed on a flat wall, as well as inset models that fit into existing fireplace openings. We also have a range of all-in-one suites such as the Celsi Flamonik Rapture or the Dimplex Bach, that feature a full frame and mantelpiece, providing an attractive, complete fireplace solution without requiring any structural changes.
After you've decided on a design The next step is to determine where to place the electric fire. If you plan to install a
freestanding electric fire pick a spot where the mains power is accessible. Also, make sure that there is enough space between combustible material and the installation. If you're looking to set your new fire into a pre-existing fireplace opening, ensure you measure the dimensions of your existing fireplace opening and chimney and purchase an electric fire with the appropriate kW rating for the space you're looking to install it in.
It is important to have a good heating capacity, particularly when your home is big. A higher kW rating will use more electricity, so it's worth considering the size of your living space as well as the duration of your time in it before selecting the best model. You can also regulate the amount of energy consumed by your electric fire by using features like thermostats or timers. These will automatically turn off the fire after a certain amount of time or after the desired temperature is reached.
In addition to their heating capabilities, you can also make use of an electric fireplace to create a cosy ambience by turning the flame effect off. For added safety, look for features such as overheating protection, cool-to-touch glass, or child locks if you have young children in the house.
Energy efficiency
In these turbulent times it's important to know that a brand new electric fireplace will not only appear stylish but will also aid in reducing energy costs. This is particularly applicable to freestanding models, which don't require a chimney or flue.
Electric fires aren't different. The cost of operating them is determined by a variety of factors. The biggest is how much heat it generates that is measured in kilowatts. A high-heat model will use more energy than a lower-heat model, but there's the size of your room to be aware of - an electric fire that's too large for your room will waste energy heating a space that's not being used.
However, the majority of electric fireplaces are affordable to run and won't dramatically increase the cost of electricity. Many electric fires feature features for controlling temperature, such as timers and thermostats to help regulate usage and reduce unnecessary energy consumption. Since they don't create a real flame and emit no carbon dioxide and no harmful smoky residue, making them kinder to the environment and more suitable for people with respiratory conditions.
In addition to this, the majority of Dimplex electric fires are 100% efficient at point of use meaning that all the energy they use is used to heat your living space - the heat does not escape through the chimney. This makes them a more environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional fireplaces, which lose an incredible amount of heat through the chimney.
Another benefit of electric fires is that they don't use real wood which produces a lot of smoke but also releases harmful pollutants into the air. This is a better choice for households with young children and pets and also for those living in an asthma-prone home.
Furthermore, the majority of electric fires are simple to maintain, with no need to gather and chop wood or tend to a flame until it's lit, and no ash to clean up afterwards. Instead, most have long-life LED bulbs that can be replaced by the standard light bulb so you can keep your fire looking as clean as the day you purchased it.
Controllability
freestanding fireplace electric fires are an excellent alternative for homes that don't have chimneys or flues. They can be placed in any room and are simple to move from one space to another - they don't even need to be incorporated into the wall. Before purchasing, it is important to think about the long-term effects of energy consumption and the amount of electric power an electric fireplace will cost in your home. The energy consumption of an electric fire is typically measured in kW. The higher this number is the greater the amount of electricity it uses per hour. You can determine the kW rating by looking at your space and determining the heating requirements for the space in which you plan to install the fireplace.
Whether you're looking for an easy efficient, cost-effective choice or a more sophisticated electric fireplace that combines contemporary design with advanced technology, there's a fireplace to fit all tastes and budgets.

A benefit of freestanding electric fires is that they don't release carbon dioxide, smoke or harmful gases like traditional wood-burning stoves do. This makes them more convenient to use and safer, especially for those with allergies or respiratory problems.

Aesthetics
Electric fires create a stunning focal point in your living space, increasing the ambiance of your home by displaying stunning flame effects.

Most models feature a realistic-looking log or coal-effect fuel bed Some models use water vapor to create a convincing smoke effect. There are models that feature Opti-myst technology that makes use of mirrors and LED lights in order to create the illusion of smoke and flames. This stunning feature is sure to make guests do a double take when they go to. It's also energy efficient because the LED lights used to create the effect only consume 212 watts per hour.
In contrast to gas or wood-powered fires, an electric freestanding fire doesn't emit harmful gasses. The flames that simulate flames are powered by LED lights that can be turned off with the push of a button. This gives you the option to enjoy the beautiful effect of a fireplace at any time of the year, without the need for any heat. The temperature settings can be adjusted to suit your preference.

These elegant models can be mounted directly on the wall to blend seamlessly into your living space and leave the floor space clear.
