Freestanding Log Effect Electric Fires

Electric log fires are an excellent alternative to traditional fireplaces. They provide the same appeal as a real wood fireplace, but without the dangers and maintenance of real wood. They allow you to swap out the logs to a pebble or crystal fuel bed for an alternative style.

They can be moved from room to another since they don't require an air vent or chimney and they don't produce an ignition source, so they do not require clearance from combustible material.

Adaptability

Electric fires are an ideal option for anyone looking to add a versatile, attractive fireplace to their home. They don't require an installation that is permanent. They can be mounted on the wall, inserted into an existing hole in the wall, or installed as a freestanding unit. They're also very flexible, with many able to be controlled by the remote, or even programmable with the use of a timer. This adaptability makes them the perfect choice for those who have a limited space or who rent their property.

The range of electric log effect fires that we have at Fires2U features both traditional and contemporary styles with a broad selection of frame colors, fuel effects, and light features available. We offer a range of fires, from low-profile models suitable for flat wall installations to front-facing designs that can be used for an inset or hole in the walls. Choose the pebble or coal fuel bed to create a more traditional look or choose a modern styled finish with an acrylic flame effect and a range of glass colours, including black or sandstone surround.

If you're looking to manage usage, we also have several energy efficient models that could help reduce electricity bills. They come with thermostatic controls that keep a pre-set temperature and turn off automatically once the room is at this level, saving you money on your energy bills. Our models come with programmed clocks that allow you to program your fire to start at a specific time and shut off after a few hours to avoid unnecessary usage. Many of these electric fireplaces are also equipped with backlighting to create a mood-setting lighting for your home.

Installation flexibility

The design of electric fires provides flexibility for installation that can be adapted to suit your space. If you opt for one that resembles a Warmlite Grey Panoramic Log Fire Stove Enhance Your Comfort and Ambience burner, for instance, you can place it on a mantel or install it in an alcove to create an elegant look.

A built-in electric fireplace may be integrated into furniture, like media consoles or beautiful mantels.

Electric fires such as Dimplex Optimyst and Optiflame Plus include energy-saving features that can help you save money on your electricity bill.

Wide range of control options

When selecting an electric fire, it's important to check the wattage of the model as this will influence the output of heat and energy consumption. We also recommend looking at the settings for heat that let you control both the heat and flame effect at the touch of the button.

If you're looking to find a more subtle heating solution, you can opt for smaller models. Most electric fires are rated in kW. When deciding on the appropriate power rating, it's important to take into account the dimensions of the room and the usage. For instance, a bedroom may require a lower kW rating than a living room.

Alternatively, you can purchase an inset electric fireplace designed to be inserted in a fireplace opening that is standard. These models, like the Celsi Ultiflame VR Elite and Evonic Halo 1500 XT integrate into custom-built wall units and include built-in audio and TV systems. They are able to seamlessly blend into the décor and create a stunning centrepiece.

To make life easier, a lot of our freestanding log effect electric fires come with remote controls that give you control over heat and 'flame' effects from the comfort of your sofa.

This can reduce energy consumption by reducing unnecessary heating and reduces the possibility of overheating. All of these features are available throughout the year and can make your home a warm and cozy place to relax.

Energy efficiency

Electric fireplaces are available in different sizes and kW ratings, meaning you can choose the level of heat that your room requires. This helps you reduce your electricity costs by making sure that your home isn't too hot or cold. Some models have a thermostat built in that lets you to monitor and maintain your desired temperature. It also shuts off the fire once you reach the set level.

You can also pick from a variety of optical illusions, ranging from coal-effect and log-effect fuel bed to a modern appearance that uses stones or other materials instead of logs. The lighting of these fires utilizes LEDs that produce an authentic flame effect and some models include LED lights inside the logs which flicker to give a striking light.

When combined with a radiator an electric fire can be a great source of additional heat. The stunning fires are ideal for relaxing in the midst of them after a long, tiring day. They will also enhance your living space by creating a beautiful focal point. But, they're not intended to be the sole heat source for a large room and will only generate enough warmth for smaller spaces.
