Installation
Anyone with a basic level of DIY skills can install a freestanding electric fireplace suite. They are easy to put up and look beautiful in any living area. They are more efficient than gas or solid fuel fireplaces since they do not require a chimney. Electric fires produce heat by heating a metal element which warms the air surrounding them.
You will find instructions for all electric fires. Follow them to ensure that the suite is properly installed. If you have any questions or doubts regarding the installation, contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
There are a variety of ways to install a freestanding electric fire suite. One option is to put it on the wall using an adjustable wall bracket. This is a relatively simple job, and you can often find a template in the box that outlines the locations where you must drill holes and then insert raw plugs. You can also mount the fire on a shelf that is open. Make sure that the fireplace is mounted on a suitable foundation, and it isn't in contact with any flammable materials.
A flat-wall electric fire suite with an integrated surround is another option. The surrounds are available in both traditional and contemporary designs. They are designed to fit perfectly against the wall. Some surrounds have extra features such as log stores or spaces to display decor, which can enhance the appearance of the room.
Certain fireplaces with electric features have a recessed installation kit that allows them to be inserted into a wall cavity. This is a more complicated task, and requires the expertise of a professional to complete. Make sure to consult a professional prior to installing a recessed fireplace to prevent costly injuries or damage.
Once your new electric fire suite is installed and you are able to enjoy the warmth and comfort instantly. The flames are visible at the front of the unit and create a warm, cosy environment. In addition, they will assist in increasing the value of your home and make it more attractive to potential buyers.
Safety
Electric fireplaces are a fantastic way of warming up your home without worrying about carbon monoxide poisoning. However, as with any home heating system there are certain safety precautions and guidelines you must follow to prevent fire or other accidents. These include keeping your fireplace clear of combustible materials, ensuring that pets and children are not too close to the flames, and maintaining an appropriate distance between the fireplace and the walls of your home.
It is crucial to read and follow the instructions of the manufacturer when you plan on installing an electric fireplace in your home. These guidelines will ensure that your fireplace is operating correctly, and help you avoid any potential dangers. In case in the event of an emergency, it is essential to have a fire extinguisher close by.
It is recommended that you check your electric fireplace on a regular basis for signs of wear and tear to extend its lifespan. This gives you to correct any problems before they become major problems and prevent costly repairs. It's also a good idea for you to regularly clean your fireplace with a damp rag to get rid of dust and dirt.
The most important thing to remember when using an electric fireplace is not to leave it unattended. This is especially crucial if you have children or pets in the home. Fireplaces that are not properly maintained can be risky. Even small flames can cause burns. You should also install a CO2 and fire alarm in your home. They can detect dangerous gases that could be fatal if inhaled.
Beware of using extension cords when using your electric fire suite. These cords can be a fire risk, as they weren't designed to handle the intense heat generated by an electric fire suite . It is best to choose an electric power strip specifically designed for your electric fireplace to provide you with a convenient method of controlling your fireplace and other electronic components.
Heat output
When buying a freestanding electric fireplace suite, it is important to consider the heat output. This will determine how much heat it produces. The greater the kW rating the greater the heat the fireplace will produce. This is usually enough to heat a medium-sized living room.
The most powerful electric fires can produce 2kW of heat, which is believed to suffice for a small to medium-sized living area. This makes them an ideal 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 chimneys.
There are models with a higher flame image, in addition to the standard kW output. This makes them more attractive visually. These models tend to make use of LED technology that can create a realistic flame effect. Certain models have a programmable 7-day timer, so you can control your fire remotely.
Some electric fires have built-in surrounds, either in a modern or traditional style. This creates a focal point in your living room and frames the fire. Some surrounds feature log storage, media units and areas to display decor. You can customize your electric fire suite to fit your interior design.
If you prefer an edgier appearance there are a variety of sleek, flat wall electric fireplaces to pick from. For example the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Vardo electric fireplace suite has stunning black finishes and the Flamerite Jaeger 1020 is designed to be in a straight line against the wall with a flat surface.
Another alternative is an infrared electrical fire suite, which makes use of infrared light to heat the objects and surfaces of your home. This type of heat is more efficient than standard fan-type heaters, which only warm the air. It is crucial to remember that infrared heating is only suitable for surfaces and objects that are directly in the line of the beams of heat.
If you are searching for an electric fireplace suite with a higher wattage, there are options available that can achieve 3kW of heat output. This is enough heat to warm up the entire living area. Most of the electric fireplaces that we offer have heat outputs between 1kW and 2kW, which is sufficient for most living spaces.
Style
Freestanding electric fire suites are a great choice for homes with no chimney breasts. They are designed to sit flat against a wall. These suites are available in traditional and contemporary designs and create a stunning focal point for any room. Many of these suites come with features such as log storage and places to display decor, which enhance the look.
As opposed to wood and gas-burning stoves, these models produce no dangerous gases or smoke. Instead, they generate heat through a fan process that sucks in cold air and then passes it through an abrasive metal coil to warm it and then ejects it out through the back of the unit. These suites are perfect for families with children or for those who have breathing problems like asthma.
The electric fire suites have an advantage over gas fireplaces in that they do not require a flue, so they are simple to install and don't need any professional fitting. Flamerite Lola LED Electric Fireplace Suite is a great example that can be put on any flat wall of your home. It also has a handy base for storage to store dried logs (not included) as shown in the photo and clean crisp lines that create a stunning contemporary focal point for any living space.
The Elgin & Hall Farnham Deluxe fireplace suite is another fantastic example of this. It features a fashionable Chollerton electric fire inset and is available in various finishes. Fires2U has a range of electric suites that include the Flamerite Tennyson and Aubade models, that can be positioned flat against the wall. These are easy to install and include downlights within the surround.
The Be Modern Flare Beadnell collection is another modern design and features a striking granite-effect top shelf with an integrated Elsie 900 electric fire. The model is available in an Ice White finish and is certain to draw attention. This suite can be used with the log burner if would like to add a touch of realism to the room.
