Electric Stove Fires Electric fires are the ideal choice for modern homes because they don't require the use of a chimney or flue. They require only electricity. This makes them perfect for a recessed fireplace or to create a media wall. Electric fires are cheaper than gas stoves that require the installation of a chimney and is installed by an experienced professional. No need for a chimney or flue Unlike gas fires and wood burners, electric stove fires do not require an installation of chimneys. They can be plugged into the wall of a room, or even in fireplaces that are no longer in use, and operate on a plug-in basis. This makes them a great alternative for homes with no existing chimney, or for those looking for a cost effective way to heat your home without the maintenance and wood cutting that traditional fireplaces require. When you light a wood burning fire in an open fireplace combustion by-products like creosote may build up and cause damage to the chimney's interior. Over time, this may cause the mortar and bricks to corrode, creating cracks in the chimney's walls and smoke seeps into your home or neighboring rooms. To avoid this you must always have a chimney lined with a flue liner of the highest quality. This can be installed by experts and is vital to maintaining the security of your fireplace. Another option for those who want an authentic log fire in their home, but do not have a chimney, is a gas flueless stove. These fires are outfitted with a catalytic convertor which transforms harmful gases into harmless ones. They require only a gas supply. A twin wall flue system can be installed to accommodate the wood burning stove without the need for a chimney. The stainless steel pipes can be used either internally or externally and are used to release the fumes from the stove into the air. These systems are reasonably inexpensive however they require a bit of installation and should be kept away from any combustible material.

Easy to move If you've got an appliance already in your home, and it's a style you're satisfied with, it's usually possible to bring it with you when you move. However gas stoves require specific removal and disconnection methods to be undertaken by a qualified professional. This isn't always the case with electric fires, since they plug into an outlet for power. This means that you can easily move your electric flame fire to another room in your home. This flexibility is particularly handy for those thinking about moving their home in the near future, or even to rent out part of their home. It can also be useful for those who have pets or children who might like to switch their fireplace on and off at any time. Due to the fact that there is no chimney or flue you can install your electric fireplace on a flat-packed hearth. This makes it easy to set up. Many electric stoves replicate the look and feel of traditional wood burning stoves. The Be Modern Ravensdale suite for instance, provides a modern log burner effect in one easy to install package. The suite comprises an appliance, surround, backplate, and hearth, which is equipped with Optimyst technology, which creates the captivating flame display that is atop an authentic hand-painted log fuel bed. Most of our electric fire suites are available in a variety of sizes too which allows you to find the perfect fit for your home. The size of the fireplace will also impact the cost. Larger models produce more heat and consume more power than smaller ones. Our energy calculator will help you determine how much your electric stove will cost to run, allowing you to make a well informed purchase decision. Choose the lowest setting to get the most out of your electric fireplace. A majority of the newer electric fireplaces have adjustable heat settings, which means you can lower the temperature and still enjoy an inviting atmosphere. This can reduce the amount of electricity you use and help you save money on heating bills. No messy cleaning or maintenance Unlike traditional fireplaces, an electric stove fire doesn't produce creosote, ash, or smoke. This means there's no chopping wood or cleaning chimneys and they're a more practical alternative. They are able to be used all year and provide warm comfort by pressing the button, and they're easy to maintain. However despite their convenience it is still necessary to take care of your electric fire and keep it clean to ensure it functions correctly. Cleanliness isn't only about appearance and standards; it also reduces the risk of fire-related accidents which could put your home at risk (source: The Spruce). When it comes to cleaning first, you will want to switch off the power source to your stove, either by unplugging it or turning it off in the fuse box of your home. You should then allow the stove to cool completely before beginning to clean it. Once the appliance is fully cold, you can begin to clean dirt and dust from the grate and heat outlets including inlets, and glass. A dry cloth should usually suffice. It is also necessary to clean the blower of your fan heater. This can be done using a dry cloth, or a vacuum cleaner that has an nozzle that is specifically designed for it (if you own one). Also, you'll need to clean the flame effect components which usually comprise of a halogen bulb or LED strip and mirrors that are attached to rods. These can be cleaned using a dry cloth or a vacuum. Regarding the coils, it's important to note that you shouldn't let them get wet. They plug into a certain type of socket and immersing them in water could damage the appliance. If they become dirty, use a solution comprised of hot water, dish soap or, if necessary denatured alcohol. Then, wipe the coils down and re-affix any drip pans you have removed. If you follow these simple steps, your electric fireplace will function as it should. This includes removing any drooling or fingerprints that may have been left behind by regular use.

Aesthetically pleasing Electric stove fires are similar to traditional gas or wood logs however they can be used anywhere in the home that does not have a chimney or flue. They connect to a standard UK 3 pin plug and can be moved easily to accommodate changes in decor or furniture layout. They are also cheaper and more simple to install than other types because they don't require a specialist installer. The look of an electric stove is a major selling point and there are many models that feature an attractive and realistic flame visual effect made using LED or LCD technology. These sophisticated systems allow you to alter the brightness of flame effects from a soft glow to a vibrant, lively fire. They can be used to create mood lighting or a focal point. Most models allow you to turn off the heat to create a cozy ambience and lower the cost of energy. This is an excellent feature for those who want to appreciate the aesthetics of a fireplace, but do not need to be warm and cosy at all times. Some models are made from cast iron or steel with a glass front. Each model has a unique design. The control panel and display may be integrated into the facade of the stove, or hidden to give it a sleeker appearance. A high-quality electric stove will come with overheat protection that is built-in to guard against damage that could be caused by overheating the appliance. This is especially important because the majority of models are designed to be used near flammable fabrics and surfaces like curtains, sofas and blankets. An electric stove heater is a great option for any space in the home where a traditional log burner would be inappropriate because of space constraints or safety issues, or simply because you prefer the appearance of a modern and versatile electric fire. With a range of options that can be adapted to any style of interior, the electric stove fire is an extremely popular option for contemporary homes as well as traditional properties.
