Electric fireplaces are a fantastic way of warming up your home without having to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning. But as with any heating system for your home, there are certain safety measures and regulations that you must adhere to to prevent fires or other incidents. This includes keeping the fireplace away from flammable materials, ensuring that children and pets do not get too close to the flame, and maintaining an adequate distance between the wall of the fireplace and the fireplace.
If you're thinking of installing an electric fireplace in your home, you must to read the manufacturer's instructions and follow them with care. These guidelines will ensure that your fireplace is set up and operating correctly, and help you avoid potential hazards. Additionally, it's important to keep an extinguisher on hand in case of emergencies.
It is recommended to inspect your electric fireplace regularly for signs of wear and tears to maximize its lifespan. This will allow you to address any issues before they become major problems and will avoid the need for costly repairs.

The most important thing to remember when using an electric fireplace is to leave it unattended. This is especially important if there are children or pets present in the home. Fireplaces that are left unattended can be risky. Even small flames can cause burns. It is also a good idea to use a fire alarm and CO2 detector in your home, as these can detect harmful gases that can be fatal if inhaled.
Beware of using extension cords when using your electric fire suite. They could create an ignition risk, since they're not designed to withstand the intense temperatures generated by the electric fire suite. It is recommended to use a power strip that is specifically designed for electric fireplaces, as it will provide you with a convenient method to control your fireplace and other electronic components.
The output of heat
The heat output of an electric fire suite that is freestanding is a crucial factor to consider when purchasing one, as this will determine how much warmth it generates. The greater the kW output, the greater the heat that your fireplace can generate. This is usually enough to warm a room that is medium-sized.
Fireplaces & Mantels can produce 2kW of heat, which is believed to suffice for a small or medium-sized living area. This makes them an ideal heating solution for those who are looking for a wood-burning stove style but don't want to go through the hassle of cleaning up the ash and constructing a chimney.
Aside from the standard output of kW, there are also models that have an enhanced flame image to help make them more visually appealing. These models tend to utilize LED technology that can create realistic flame effects. 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 for your living space and frames the fire. Some surrounds include media units, log stores and areas to display decorations, so you can customise your electric fire suite to suit your interior design.
There are numerous sleek electric fireplace suites that you can pick to give you a modern style. Elgin and Hall Pryzm Varido electric fireplace suites come in stunning black finish. Flamerite Jaeger 10020 is designed to be flush against a flat surface.
Another option is an infrared electric fire suite, which uses infrared lights to warm the objects and surfaces of your home. This type of heat is more efficient than standard fan-type heaters, which simply warm the air. It is important to remember that infrared heating can only warm surfaces and objects that are within direct line of the radiations of heat.
There are electric fires that generate heat as high as 3kW. This is enough to warm up the entire living area. The majority of the electric fireplaces that we sell have heat outputs between 1kW and 2kW, which is sufficient for most living spaces.
Style
Freestanding electric fire sets are an excellent choice for homes without chimney breasts. They are designed to be able to stand flat against the wall.

These models have many built-in features, such as log storage areas and areas to display décor. They also enhance the appearance.
In contrast to wood and gas burning stoves, these models emit no harmful smoke or gases. Instead, they generate heat through a fan process that sucks in cold air, and then passes it through an iron 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.
