When buying a freestanding electric fireplace suite, it is important to consider the output of heat. This will determine how warm it generates. The higher the kW output, more the heat that your fireplace can generate. This can be enough to heat a medium sized living room.
Electric fires can produce up to 2kW of heat. This can be enough to heat small or medium-sized rooms. This makes them a great heating solution for those who are seeking a wood-burning stove design but don't want the hassle of cleaning up ash and installing a chimney.
There are models that have more of a flame image in addition to the standard kW output. This makes them more attractive visually. These models are more likely to use LED technology, which produces a realistic flame effect. Certain models come with a programmable 7-day timer, which allows you to control your fire remotely.

Infrared electric fireplaces are an alternative option. They make use of infrared light to warm objects and surfaces in your home.

It is important to remember that infrared heat can only warm surfaces and objects that are directly in the line of the heat rays.
