The Reasons You re Not Successing At Freestanding Log Effect Electric Fires
Freestanding Log Effect Electric Fires
Electric log fires are an excellent alternative to traditional fireplaces. They provide the same appeal of an actual wood fireplace but without the risks and maintenance of real wood. They offer the flexibility to swap out the logs for a pebble or a crystal fuel bed for a different look.
They can be moved from room to room as they do not need an air vent or chimney and they don't create an ignition source, so they do not require clearance from combustible substances.
Adaptability
Electric fires are great for those looking to add an attractive, flexible fireplace to their home without the need for a permanent installation. They can be mounted on the wall, placed into an opening in the wall, or used as a standalone unit. Many of them can be operated by remote control or controlled by a timer. This adaptability makes them the ideal choice for those who have a limited space or who lease their home.
Fires2U's collection of electric log fires features traditional and contemporary designs. There's a range of frame colours and fuel effects, as well as various lighting options. There are fires that range from low-profile, compact options suitable for flat to the wall installations, to front facing and 3-sided designs that are perfect for wall holes or inset fireplaces. Choose from a coal or pebble fuel bed to create a more traditional look or choose a contemporary styled finish with an acrylic flame effect and a selection of glass colours including a sandstone or black spacer surround.
If you're looking to manage your usage, we also have several energy-efficient models that can help you save on electricity costs. These models have thermostatic controls that maintain a pre-set temperature and shut off automatically when the room has reached the desired temperature, thereby saving money on your energy bills. There are also models that have timers that are programmable to allow you to set your fire to turn on at a particular time and shut off after an hour or so and avoids unnecessary use. Many of these fireplaces also come with backlighting to create mood lighting for your home.
Installation flexibility
The design of modern electric fireplace freestanding fireplaces offers installation flexibility that can be customized to suit your space. For example, if you prefer a stove that resembles a real log burner, you can choose to place the appliance on a mantel or have it placed in an alcove to give seamless appearance. Many models come with removable logs that you can alter to fit your style. Remote controls allow you to alter the temperature settings and visual effects.
Similar to wall-mounted electric fireplaces, wall-mounted options like the Celsi Ultiflame VR Elite or Evonic Halo 1500 XT are designed to be inset into a wall to create an elegant and minimal look. They are perfect for rooms with limited space and can be positioned at eye level or below to create a striking look that enhances a living room's style.
Another option is a built-in electric fire that can be built into furniture like mantels and media consoles. They can be built into chimneys already in place to resolve issues with fireplaces that are already in place or recessed in a wall for an entirely flush appearance. Some are even available in compact designs, that are perfect for areas where there is no room for a conventional fire.
Electric fires like Dimplex Optimyst and Optiflame Plus have energy-saving features that can help you save money on your electricity bill. They monitor your heating usage to reduce unnecessary heating and ensure that you get the most value from your heater. A timer programable allows you to program the heater to switch off and on at certain times.
A variety of control options
Electric fires offer a great alternative to gas stoves and traditional fireplaces because they don't require costly installation or cutting wood. Electric fires are easy to operate and come with a range of control options. You can adjust the brightness as well as turn off and on the flames, and select from a variety of flame effects.
Some models even have opening doors that provide a better view of the flame and make them feel more realistic. They can be mounted on the wall or placed in traditional or contemporary log-effect surround, based on your taste. Electric fireplaces don't require chimneys and can be placed anywhere even in new-build homes or flats, as well as homes that do not have one.
Many electric fires can be controlled by a remote, allowing you to control the flame effect as well as the timer settings and lighting, as well as view the room temperature. This flexibility is ideal if you wish to change the mood of your room, and enjoy the flickering fires and warmth of the electric fire without having to leave the couch.
With a range of controls, an electric fire can become a mesmerising focal point in your home. Some models are available with 3D flame effects that create the illusion of real height and depth and include a variety of colours, from soft blues to vibrant purples.
The majority of electric fireplaces that we sell can be set up as a freestanding unit, while some can be incorporated into an opening in the masonry or chimney breast. When selecting an electric fire, it's important to check the wattage of the product as this will influence the heat output and energy usage. We recommend that you also take a look at the settings for heat. They allow you to regulate the flame effect as well as the heat with the click of the button.
3D flames
Patented led fireplace freestanding technology creates an appearance that is incredibly real. With layered effects and projections this effect can easily fool the eye into thinking it's looking at a traditional log-effect stove.
Some models come with the option of choosing backgrounds that allow you to customize your appearance. You can choose from a range of colours such as serene blues and vibrant purples. These contemporary designs will surely impress your guests.
If you're looking for a less gentle heating option then you should consider an alternative that is less powerful. The heat output of most electric fires is measured in kW. It is important to consider space's size and use when deciding on the power rating. For example, a bedroom may require an kW rating lower than a living space.
You can also purchase an inset fireplace that is designed to fit in a standard opening. These models, such as the Celsi Ultiflame VR Elite and Evonic Halo 1500 XT integrate into custom-built wall units that include built-in audio and TV systems. They are able to seamlessly blend into the décor and create a stunning centrepiece.
A majority of our electric log fires have remote controls that permit you to control the flames and heat effects without having to leave your sofa. Certain of our electric freestanding log effect fires come with Dimplex's room sensing thermostat technology. This constantly monitors temperature in the room to ensure you always have the appropriate amount heating available. This reduces energy usage by eliminating unnecessary heating, and reduces the risk of overheating. These features can be enjoyed all year long and help to make your home a warm, cozy space that you'll love spending time in.
Energy efficiency
Electric fires don't emit harmful gases or emissions, so they're a much more environmentally friendly alternative to their gas or wood-powered counterparts. Electric fireplaces don't need chimneys or fuel and are less expensive to run than traditional fireplaces since they don't need expensive maintenance.
Our free standing electric fires fireplaces come in various sizes and kW ratings, meaning you can choose the level of heat your room requires. This lets you control the cost of electricity by making sure that your home isn't too hot or cold. Some models come with a thermostat built in that allows you monitor and maintain your desired temperature. It also shuts off the fire once you reach the level set.
You can also pick from a range of optical illusions that range from log and coal-effect fuel beds to a more Free Standing Modern Electric Fireplace look with stones or other types of materials in place of logs. These fires are lit using LEDs to create a realistic look. Some options also have LED lights that flicker within the logs to create a striking glow.
When combined with a radiator an electric freestanding fire fire can be a fantastic source of additional warmth. They're great for relaxing with an exhausting day, and the mesmerising flames can be a stunning focal point that can improve the ambience of your home. However, they're not designed to be the sole heat source for large rooms and will only produce enough warmth for smaller spaces.
