Energy-Efficient
It is more crucial than ever to consider how you are heating your home. With rising costs for energy and environmental concerns, it is vital to be aware of our choices. Electric fire suites offer instant heat while requiring minimal energy input. They can be put in easily, and used indoors or outdoors* and come with a variety of options.
The kind of fire you pick needs careful evaluation. Fireplaces made of solid and gas are perfect for homes with chimneys, while balanced-flue models are a great option for those who do not have. Electric fireplaces are available for both, and can be customized to suit your requirements.
When choosing your electric fireplace suite, search for an Btu (British Thermal Unit) count to help you determine the amount of heat it can generate. A higher Btu count means that the suite can warm the room faster and more effectively. Certain models also come with special energy efficiency technology like thermostats that help you monitor and adjust the heating levels.
You can also apply a simple formula to calculate how much the suite will cost to run on a daily basis. Calculate the cost of running the suite by multiplying the pence per Kilowatt charged by your energy company with the number of hours you plan to use the suite each day.
Make sure your electric fireplace is in a room that is well ventilated to maintain its efficiency. This will allow the hot air and cold air to circulate better. You should also take into consideration any particular conditions that might affect your heater. For instance if it is located in a cold area or if the doors and windows are open to the outside temperature.
When selecting an electric fire suite, it is also worth bearing in mind that you'll be able to select from a variety of styles and finishes.

The heat generated by these units isn't as intense as that of a real fire but still emits enough warmth to keep your living space warm. If you're looking to lower your energy bills, choose an electric fire set-up that is low-wattage.
Multiply the fire's wattage by the price of electricity currently in use and how many hours a day you'll need to use it. You can then compare this with your energy provider's tariff in kWh to figure out the amount you can save.
Include decorative elements in your electric fireplace to enhance the ambience of your living room. For instance, placing a large mirror above your fireplace could reflect light and visually expand your living space, whilst adding an art piece that is framed can create a focal point for your living room's decor.
No Creosote or Smoke Emissions
Electric suites are not able to emit harmful gases like carbon monoxide. These fireplaces generate heat through the use of a fan that draws cool air inside the unit and then blows out the heated air, making your room warm in a flash. This feature is great for those who suffer from asthma or allergies and struggle to breathe in the smoke of real fireplaces.
Many electronic suites have smart compatibility and remote controls. This means that they can be controlled using a smartphone, tablet or a voice activated system, like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. This is particularly convenient for busy families or anyone who has lots to accomplish.
