How Free Standing Fires Can Transform Your Home

Freestanding fires can create warmth and a warm feel to any residence. They are particularly useful in homes not suitable for an in-built fireplace.

When building your fire pit, ensure you construct a concrete pad that is at least 4"-8" thick. This will prevent the fire from destroying the walls.

Easy to install

A free-standing fire can completely change the appearance of a space. It is also easy to install. It is essential to remember that a wall-mounted fire should not be placed directly on the ground. Instead, it should be positioned on the top of a masonry or timber platform. You should also make sure that the platform is clear of any combustible material.

In fact, many of our Solution Fires come complete with remote control access as well as the ability to switch between flame effects and heating by pressing the button.

The maintenance of wood log fires is essential. You'll need to clean the ash disposal regularly and ensure the stove's vents are properly functioning. Make sure that the ash dump flows smoothly and that there aren't any obstructions or creosote accumulations inside. To prevent dust accumulation it is recommended to clean the ember beds periodically. You can clean the ember bed with a soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner hose attachment.

Electric fires are also very easy to maintain. You simply need to clean any built up dust on the mirrors and the ember bed from time every so often using a soft cloth or a dry, lint-free sponge. You may need to clean the air intakes of your fireplace from time to time according to the amount of dust present in your home. You can do this by removing the glass from the fire and opening the air inlets that are typically located on the top of each side of your fire. You can clean the air intakes using an abrasive cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.

Electric fires are also great because they only emit heat when they are turned on. This means you won't spend money heating the room before you need to. Additionally to that, many Dimplex electric fires come with room-sensing thermostat technology which constantly determines the ambient temperature of the room and adjusts the heating accordingly to avoid uncomfortable and uncomfortable "room temperature swings".

Energy efficient

A free standing fireplace is an excellent choice for those who want a wood fire without the expense and hassle of building a chimney. It is simple to set up and move from room to. This is especially useful when you want to relocate or alter your design. This kind of fireplace is also a good choice for those who are concerned about the environment. This is because it produces minimal pollution and does not require the use of fossil fuels. Another advantage of a free-standing fireplace is that it doesn't require venting outside, which means it is less likely to cause air quality issues.

Freestanding electric fireplaces aren't only attractive visually, but they are also affordable in terms of buying and operating costs. Unlike traditional fireplaces, which require coal or gas they operate by utilizing electricity. Gas fires can cost up to PS300 per annum. Choose a model that has an energy rating of A or better to ensure you don't overspend your money.

One of the most important factors in determining how much an electric fire will cost to run is the size. A larger fire will use more energy, so it's essential to choose the appropriate size for your space. If you choose something too large, it will cost you more in electricity and heat - not to mention, it will be more difficult to maintain.

There are many ways you can help reduce the price of a fire that is electric:

Burn only wood that is seasoned. This will make your fire as efficient as it can be and last longer. You can also insulate your chimney to reduce the amount of energy your fireplace uses. Make sure to shut off your fireplace when you aren't using it. Even turning it off for an hour will save you a significant amount of money over the course of the year.
