Energy efficiency
Electric fireplaces don't release any harmful emissions or gases, so they're a much greener option than their wood- or gas-powered counterparts. There's no need to buy fuel or install a chimney as well as they're less expensive than traditional fireplaces when it comes to running costs, thanks to the fact that they don't require expensive maintenance and servicing.
Our electric fires are available in a variety of sizes, each with different kW ratings that allow you to select the amount of heat your room needs. This allows you to manage energy costs by ensuring that your home doesn't become too hot or too cold. Some models even come with built-in thermostats that allow you to monitor and maintain the desired temperature, and then turn off your fire when the set level has been attained, allowing you to lower your energy consumption.
You can also select from a range of optical illusions that range from coal-effect and log beds to a more modern look with stones or other types of materials in place of logs. The fires are lit by LEDs to create a realistic appearance. Some models also come with LED lights that flash in the logs for an impressive glow.
When used in conjunction with the radiator, an electric fire can be a great source of additional heat. They're ideal for cosying up with a long day, and the mesmerising flames can create a stunning focal point that can add a touch of elegance to your living space. But, they're not intended to be the sole heat source for a large room and will only produce enough warmth for smaller areas.
