Electric Stove Fires Electric fires can be an ideal choice for modern homes, as they don't require the use of a chimney or flue. They just require electricity. This makes them ideal for a fireplace that is recessed or to create a media wall. Compared to a gas stove that requires a chimney, and needs to be installed by a licensed installer, this makes an electric fire an affordable alternative. There is no need for a chimney or chimney Unlike gas fires and wood burners, electric stove fires do not require an installation of chimneys. Electric stove fires can be placed on the wall or within an existing fireplace that has been unused. They are operated by plugging them into a socket. This makes them a great alternative for homes with no existing chimney, or for those looking for an efficient method to heat their home that doesn't require the maintenance and wood cutting that traditional fireplaces require. When you burn wood over an open flame the combustion by-products such as creosote can build up within the chimney. As time passes, this can cause corrosion to the bricks and mortar that make up the chimney, leading to cracks in the walls, and leaks of smoke into your living space or into the rooms around it. To avoid this you must always have your chimney lined with an excellent flue liner. This is something that can be installed by experts and is vital to maintaining the safety of your fireplace. Gas flueless stoves are a great option for those who want a real log fireplace in their home, but do not have a chimney. These fires are clever because they have an inbuilt catalytic convertor to transform harmful gases into harmless ones and require only a gas supply to operate. The twin wall flue can be used for wood-burning stoves that do not have chimneys. The stainless steel pipes can be set up either externally or internally and are used to exhaust the fumes from the stove into the air. These systems are reasonably inexpensive however, they require installation and should be kept away from any combustible material. If you'd like an electric fire that looks more like a wood burning stove but do not have the space for a chimney or flue we have a large selection of stunning electric and gas stoves available on our media wall, including our popular Bramshaw model from British Fires which features a design that mirrors a gas or wood burning fire but only requires a simple plug-in. For more information, speak with your local House of Stoves retailer who can provide expert, reliable advice and support. Easy to move If you've got a stove already in your home, and it's a design you're comfortable with, it's possible to bring it with when you move. However, gas stoves require special removal and disconnection methods to be handled by a trained professional. This isn't always the case with electric fires since they plug directly into a power outlet. You can move your electric real-flame fire to another room of your home. This versatility comes in particularly handy for those who are considering a house move in the near future, or to let out a portion of their property. It is also beneficial for those with pets or children who want to switch their fireplace on or off at will. The fact that there is no flue or chimney components allows you to have your electric fire fitted into a flat packed hearth, which makes it easy to remove and install in just minutes. Many electric stoves mimic the look of traditional wood burning stoves. The Be Modern Ravensdale package, for instance, offers a modern log-burner appearance in an easy-to-install package. The suite comes with an appliance, a surround and backplate, as well as an open hearth. Optimyst creates the flame display over the realistic hand-painted log fuel bed. The majority of our electric fire suites are available in different sizes too which allows you to find the ideal fit for your home. The size of the fireplace will influence the price. The larger models generate more heat and consume more electricity than smaller alternatives. Our energy calculator can help you figure out how much it will cost you to operate your electric stove to help you make an informed choice. The best way to make sure your electric fire is as efficient as it can be is to use it at its lowest setting. The majority of modern electric fires have adjustable settings for heat. This means you can reduce the temperature and still enjoying a warm and cozy atmosphere. This can cut down on your electricity consumption and could save you money on heating costs. No messy cleaning or maintenance Electric stoves don't produce creosote, smoke or ash like traditional fireplaces. This means there's no chopping wood or cleaning a chimney and they're a more practical alternative. They can be used year-round with cosy warmth by pressing the button, and they're easy to maintain. However, despite their ease of use, you still need to look after your electric fire and keep it clean so that it functions correctly. It's not just about appearance and standards, it can also reduce the risk of fire-related incidents that could risk the safety of your home (source: The Spruce). You will need to turn off the power at your home's fusebox or unplug your stove prior to beginning cleaning. fireplace electric logs should then allow the stove to cool completely before beginning to clean it. When the appliance is cold, you can begin to clean dirt and dust from the grate as well as heat outlets as well as the inlets, and glass. To do this, a dry towel is usually sufficient. If you have an electric fan heater, you'll also need to clean the blower that can be done using a dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner fitted with a special nozzle attachment (if you have one). Also, you'll need to clean the flame effect components that typically comprise the halogen bulb or LED strip and mirrors fixed to rods. They can be cleaned using dry cloths or by vacuuming. In terms of the coils, it's important to remember that you should never get them wet. They plug into a particular type of socket, and submerging them in water can cause damage to the appliance. If they do become dirty, you should apply a mixture of hot dish soap and water, or, if required you need to use a degreaser, such as denatured alcohol. Then, wipe the coils down and re-affix any drip pans that you have removed. The good news is that, as long as you follow these easy steps the electric stove will continue to work just as it should, and will remove all drooling, smudges and fingerprints which can be caused by regular use.

Aesthetically pleasing Electric stove fires look just like a traditional wood or gas log burner, however they can be used virtually anywhere in the home without the necessity of chimneys or flues. They can be moved around and can be connected to a standard UK 3-pin plug. This convenience also makes them much easier and less expensive to set up than other types of stoves, and without the requirement for an expert installer or complex installation procedures. The design and style of an electric stove fire is a major reason to buy and there are many models that feature a captivating and realistic flame visual effect that is created using LED or LCD technology. These advanced systems allow you to alter the intensity of the flame effects, from a gentle glow to a vibrant, energizing fire. They can be used as mood lighting or as a focal point. Many models let you switch off the heat to create a cozy environment and cut down on the cost of energy. This is a fantastic option for those who want to appreciate the aesthetics of a fireplace, but don't need to be warm and cosy at all times. Some models are made from cast iron or steel and have a glass front. Each model is designed with a unique design. The display and control panel may be integrated into the exterior of the stove, or concealed for a more sleek appearance. A high-quality electric stove will come with overheat protection that is built-in to guard against any potential damage caused by overheating the appliance. This is particularly important since the majority of models are designed to be used close to flammable surfaces and fabrics like curtains, sofas and blankets. A stove heater that is electric is the perfect option for any room of the home where a traditional log fire would not be suitable due to space limitations or safety concerns, or simply because you like the look of a contemporary and versatile electric fire. Electric stove fires are popular for both period and modern homes because they offer a variety of options that can be adapted to any interior design scheme.
