Installation
Anyone with basic DIY skills can set up a freestanding electrical fireplace suite. They are simple to set up and look stunning in any living space. They are also more efficient than solid fuel or gas fireplaces since they don't require chimneys and are safe to use. Electric fires produce heat through heating an element of metal that warms the air surrounding them.
The majority of electric fires are supplied with instructions and you must follow them to make sure that the appliance is installed correctly. If you have any doubts or concerns about the installation, seek out a licensed electrician for advice.
There are several ways to install an electric freestanding fire suite. One option is to put it on the wall using a wall bracket. It's a simple job, and you'll often find a template in the box that outlines where you need to drill holes and insert raw plugs. You can also place the fireplace on a free shelf. Ensure that the fireplace is placed on a suitable base, and it isn't touching any flammable material.
Another option is to buy an electric fireplace set that is flat with a built-in surround. The surrounds are designed to sit on the wall in a flush position and are available in traditional and contemporary designs. Some surrounds come with additional options, such as log storage or areas to display decorations that can add to the look of a room.
Some electric fires come with an recessed kit that permits you to install them inside a cavity of your wall. This is a more complex task, and requires the expertise of a professional to complete. If you're thinking about installing a recessed electric fireplace, be sure to consult with an expert to avoid any blunders that could lead to expensive injuries or damages.
Once your new electric fire suite is set up and you are able to feel the warmth and comfort of it immediately. The flames are visible at the front of the unit and create a warm, cosy environment. They can also boost the value of your home and make it more appealing to potential buyers.

However, just like any other heating system for your home, there are certain safety measures and regulations that you must follow to prevent fires or other incidents. These include keeping your fireplace clear of combustible materials, ensuring that pets and children aren't too close to the flames and ensuring a safe distance between the fireplace and the walls of your home.
It is important to carefully study and follow the guidelines of the manufacturer if you plan to install an electric fireplace in your home. These guidelines will ensure that your fireplace is correctly installed and operating and will assist you to stay clear of any potential dangers. In the event of an emergency, it's essential to have a fire extinguisher right to.
It is recommended that you examine your electric fireplace frequently for signs of wear and tears to extend its lifespan. This gives you the opportunity to fix any problems before they become major issues and prevent costly repairs. It's also an excellent idea to regularly clean your fireplace by using a damp rag in order to remove dust and dirt.
It is important to not leave an electric fireplace unattended. This is especially important if there are pets or children living in the house. A fireplace that is left unattended can be dangerous and even a small flame could cause burns. It is also a good idea to install a smoke alarm and CO2 detectors in your home, since these can detect harmful gases that could be fatal if breathed in.
Also, make sure that you don't connect extension cords to your electric fire suite. They can create an ignition risk, since they're not made to withstand the high heat levels generated by the electric fire suite. It's best to use an electric power strip specifically designed to work with your electric fireplace and will provide you with a reliable way to control your fireplace as well as other electronic devices.
The output of heat
When you are buying a freestanding electric fireplace suite it is crucial to consider the heat output. This will determine how much heat it produces. The higher the kW rating the greater the heat the fireplace will produce. This is usually enough to warm a room that is medium-sized.
Electric fires can produce up to 2kW of heat. This is enough to warm small or medium-sized rooms. This makes them an ideal heating option for those looking for a wood-burning stove style but don't want to go through the hassle of cleaning up the ash and building a chimney.
There are models with an enhanced flame image in addition to the standard kW output. This makes them more attractive visually. These models tend to make use of LED technology which can produce a realistic flame effect. Some of these models come with a seven-day programmable timer so you can control the fire from a distance.
Some electric fires come with built-in surrounds, either in a contemporary or traditional style. This allows you to frame the fire and create a focal point in your living room. Some surrounds also have media units, log stores and display areas which allows you to personalize your electric fire suite to fit your personal style.
There are numerous elegant electric fireplace suites that you can choose for those who prefer a contemporary style. Elgin and Hall Pryzm Varido electric fireplace suites come in stunning black finish. Flamerite Jaeger 10020 is designed to be flush with an even surface.
Infrared electric fireplaces are a different option. They make use of infrared lighting to warm objects and surfaces within your home. This type of heating is more efficient than fan-type heaters that only warm the air. It is important to keep in mind that infrared energy is only suitable for surfaces and objects that are directly in the line of the heat beams.
There are electric fires that generate heat as high as 3kW. This is enough heat to heat up a large living area. However, most of the electric fire suites we sell have heat outputs that are in the 1kW-2kW range, which is more than sufficient for most living spaces.
Style

They are available in contemporary and traditional styles and can be a gorgeous focal point for any room. These suites come with a variety of built-in features like log storage and areas to display décor. They further enhance the look.
They don't emit harmful gases or smoke unlike gas and wood stoves. Instead, they generate heat by using the use of a fan that draws into cold air and passes it over an abrasive metal coil to warm it up, which is then vented out through the back of the unit. This method of heating is safer and makes these units ideal for younger families or those who suffer from breathing issues such as asthma.
