10 Unquestionable Reasons People Hate Electric Fireplace Suites
Electric Fireplace Suites
Modern electric fire suites come as the complete package, comprising a hearth, surround and back panel. They are designed to create a focal point in your home with the least effort.
They can be used in homes that have chimneys or without and can provide warmth of 1.5-2kWs. This makes them a very popular option for those seeking a stylish fireplace solution.
Easy to Install
If you've always dreamed of having a real fireplace but don't have the money to hire a builder or don't have a chimney, you can still incorporate a beautiful, functional feature into your home with an electric fireplace suite. They're a practical and cost-effective way to add warmth to your home. They're also easy to install and maintain.
A fireplace suite consists of a surround, an integrated fireplace and reversible panels that creates a contemporary, elegant look to your home. Electric fireplaces come in both traditional and modern designs, which means they can be used for different styles of interiors. Fires2U offers a variety of sizes, colours and finishes, allowing you to find the perfect match to your room.
The majority of models are offered in a standard version that can be fitted into an opening measuring 22" high by 16" wide, or a premium model that has a wider frame for an imposing appearance. You'll need to choose the BTU output that is suitable for the space and heating requirements. For maximum heating power, we suggest selecting a model with between 4500 and 5,200 BTUs.
A high-end fireplace set will often include an attractive mantel that can be used to store things, or for displaying decorations such as candles and plants. Some models also have downlights, which can create a more dramatic lighting effect in your home. If you prefer a more minimalist style, a flat-to wall fireplace is a great option. They can be hung on the wall as a flat-screen television or picture. They typically have mounting brackets that make the job easier.
For a modern and stylish feature to your living space, consider the Flamerite Aubade or Tennyson LED flat-to-wall electric fireplace suite. It features a chic, modern fireplace with a viewing space of 39" wide by 13 1/2" high. It is compatible with smart home devices through the Fire eControl App (requires iOS and Android devices running version 5 and higher). You can regulate the flame's heat, intensity and height, and choose from a selection of pre-programmed or user-programmable flame effects that include the stunning blue/purple colour changing feature.
Energy-Efficient
It's more important than ever to think about how you are heating your home. With rising costs for energy and a growing concern for the environment it is essential to be aware of our choices. Electric fires provide instant heat and require minimal energy input. They can be put in easily, and used outdoors or indoors, and come with a range of options.
The type of fire you choose also requires careful consideration. Solid and gas-fueled fires are great for homes with chimneys and balanced flue models are suitable for those without one. Electric fireplaces are available for both, and can be adapted to meet your specific needs.
Look for the Btu (British Thermal Units) count when selecting your electric fireplace to determine how much heat will be produced. A higher Btu count indicates that the unit can warm up your room quicker and more efficiently. Certain models have special energy-efficient technologies, like thermostats that let you control and adjust the heating levels.
You can also apply an easy formula to determine how the suite will cost to operate on an ongoing basis. Calculate the cost of running the suite by multiplying the pence per Kilowatt charged by your energy provider and the number of hours that you intend to use the suite each day.
To maintain your electric fire suite's efficiency, make sure to keep the fireplace in a well-ventilated location. This will allow cold air to escape and allow the hot air to circulate more easily. Also, you should consider any special conditions which could affect your heater. For instance, if it is located in a drafty place or when the windows and doors are open to the outside temperature.
When choosing an electric fire suite, it is also important to remember that you will be able choose from a range of styles and finishes. There is a model for every home regardless of whether you're looking for an electric fireplace with a modern design, like the Be Modern Flare Beadnell, in Ice White or a more traditional design, such as the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Vardo which is stunning in Black Nickel.
Aesthetically Pleasing
Modern electric fireplace suites can elevate your living space by creating an inviting and warm ambience, without the time-consuming and costly installation process that comes with wood-burning or gas-burning fireplaces. A fireplace suite comprises all the elements that you'd normally encounter inside an inset fireplace like a surround, hearth and back panel, but instead of being powered by gas or wood it operates using electricity. These electric fireplace suites look similar to traditional log or pebble fireplaces due to the latest technological advancements.
As a whole fireplace suites have the advantage of blending perfectly together to create a seamless design. You can choose from a variety of finishes and styles to match your interior design. Some electric fireplaces come with a mantelpiece to store and display candles and other decor items. Others are simple and easy to fit in the space.
Choosing the right type of fireplace suite is crucial to achieve the perfect transformation in your living space. Conventional gas-fueled fires are perfect for homes that have a chimney or balanced flue, while models with balanced flues allow you to add the heating element irrespective of whether or not your home has a flue installed.
The heat produced by these fires isn't as intense as the heat of a real log fireplace but still emits enough warmth to keep your living space cosy. If you're looking to cut down on your energy bills, choose an electric fire set-up with a low wattage.
Multiply the fire's wattage by the price of electricity currently in use and the number of hours per day you plan to use it. Then, you can compare this to your energy provider's kWh tariff to determine how much you'll save on the cost of running your fire.
By adding decorative elements to the electric fireplace can enhance the ambience of your living space to an entirely new level. For example, placing the mirror of a good size above your fireplace could reflect light and visually expand your space while the frame of a piece of art can make a focal point of your living room decor.
No Creosote or Smoke Emissions
Electric suites are not able to emit harmful gases like carbon monoxide. These fireplaces generate heat through a fan process that draws cool air into the unit and then blows the heated air out to warm your home in no time. This feature is ideal for those suffering from asthma or allergies and struggle to breathe in the smoke of real fireplaces.
Many electric suites come with remote controls and smart compatibility. They can be controlled with tablets, smartphones or a voice-activated systems like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. This is particularly useful for busy families or anyone who has lots to do.
A stunning electric fire feature will transform your living space and add value to any home. They are secure, low maintenance, and easy to install, so you can enjoy them all winter long. For the perfect finish, you can mount a TV directly above your electric fireplace suite and create the perfect focal point for your living room.
