Electric Stove Fires

Electric fires are an excellent option for modern homes because they don't require a flue or chimney, they simply need electricity. This makes them perfect for a recessed fireplace or for creating a media wall.

Electric fires are less expensive than gas stoves that require an installation of a chimney and is installed by an expert.

There is no need for a chimney or flue

Electric stove fires don't need an installation of a chimney unlike gas fires and wood burners. They can be plugged into the wall of a room or even into fireplaces that are not in use anymore, and operate on a plug-in basis. They are a great option for homes without chimneys or for those looking to keep their home warm without the burden of maintaining and chopping wood.

When you light a wood-burning fire in an open fireplace combustion by-products like creosote can build up and cause damage to the chimney's interior. In time, this could cause the bricks and mortar to corrode, creating cracks in the chimney walls and smoke leaks into your home or neighbouring rooms. To prevent this from happening, it is important to line your chimney with a high-quality flue liner. This is something that can be installed by professionals and is vital to maintaining the safety of your fireplace.

Another option for those who want a real log fire in their home, but don't have a chimney is a stove that has a gas flue. These innovative fires come with a catalytic convertor which transforms harmful gases into harmless ones. They require only the supply of gas.

A twin wall flue system can be installed to accommodate the wood burning stove without the need for chimney. The stainless steel pipes can be installed either internally or externally and are used to vent the fumes from the stove into the air. These systems are fairly inexpensive, but they require installation and must be kept at a distance of 425mm from any flammable material.

If you're looking for an electric fire that looks like a real wood stove, but don't wish to build an chimney or flue, we offer a range of stunning electric and gas stoves on our media wall. This includes the popular Bramshaw model from British Fires, which has an appearance that resembles a wood burning or gas fire, yet only requires an electrical plug. For more information, talk with your local House of Stoves retailer who can provide reliable expert guidance and assistance.

Easy to move

It is possible to move a stove you already have in your home if you love the style. Gas stoves, however, require a professional to carry out specific removal and disconnect procedures. This isn't always possible with electric fires since they plug directly into an electrical outlet. This means that you can easily move your electric flame fire to another room in your home.

This versatility comes in particularly handy for those who are thinking about moving their home in the near future, or even to rent out part of their home. electric wood burners can also be useful for parents with pets or children who might want to switch their fireplace on and off at any time. Because there is no chimney or flue, you can install your electric fireplace on a flat-packed hearth. This makes it easy to install.

There are a wide range of freestanding designs to choose from, with a wide selection of electric stoves resembling the appearance of traditional wood burning stoves. The Be Modern Ravensdale package, for example offers a contemporary log-burner appearance in an easy-to-install package. The suite includes an appliance, a surround and backplate, and an open hearth. Optimyst creates the flame display over an authentic hand-painted log fuel bed.

Our electric fire suites come in a variety of sizes, so you can find the perfect fit for your home. The size of the fireplace will influence the price.

This can cut down on your energy consumption and save you money on heating costs.

No messy cleaning or maintenance

In contrast to traditional fireplaces, an electric stove fire doesn't produce smoke, ash or creosote. This means there's no cutting wood or cleaning chimneys and they're a more efficient alternative. They can be used year-round and provide warm comfort with the push of an a button, and are amazingly easy to maintain.

However despite their simplicity of use, you still need to take care of your electric fireplace and keep it clean so that the appliance is operating properly. It's not just about presentation and standards, it can also help to reduce the chance of fire-related accidents that could cause harm to your home (source: The Spruce).

When it comes to cleaning first, you must switch off the power source to your stove, either by disconnecting it or turning it off in the fuse box in your home. Allow the stove to cool completely before cleaning it. When the appliance is cool, you can begin to remove dirt and dust from the grate, heat outlets as well as the inlets and glass. For this, a dry towel is typically sufficient. You will also need to clean the blower of your fan heater. This is done using dry cloths or a vacuum cleaner that has an nozzle that is specifically designed for it (if you have one). Additionally, you'll want to clean the flame effect parts that typically comprise a halogen bulb or LED strip and mirrors that are attached to rods. These can be cleaned using dry cloths or vacuum.

It is important to remember that you should not immerse the coils in water. They plug into a particular kind of socket and submerging them in water can damage the appliance. If they do get dirty, you can use a mixture of hot dish soap and water, or if necessary you need to use a degreaser, such as denatured alcohol. The coils should be cleaned and any drip pans that are removed should be reattached.

The good news is that as long as you follow these easy steps, your electric stove fire will continue to function just as it should, and will remove all of the drooling, fingerprints, and smudges that could result from regular use.

Aesthetically pleasing

The stoves can be moved easily and can be connected to a standard UK 3-pin plug. They are also cheaper and simpler to install than other types, as they don't require a specialist installer.

The aesthetic of an electric stove is a major draw and there are many models that feature an alluring and realistic flame visual effect made with LCD or LED technology. These advanced systems allow you to adjust the brightness of the flame effects, from a subtle glow to a bright and vibrant flame that can be used for mood lighting or as a centrepiece.

Many models let you turn off the heat to create a cozy environment and cut down on your energy costs. This is an excellent feature for those looking to take pleasure in the visuals of a fireplace but don't need to be cozy and warm at all times.

Some models are crafted using materials like cast iron or steel, with glass fronts, each with an unique and striking design. The display and control panel may be incorporated into the exterior of the stove, or concealed for a more sleek appearance.

A high-quality electric stove will have overheat protection built-in to safeguard against damage that could be caused by an overheating of the appliance. This is essential because a large number of models are designed to be placed close to flammable fabrics and surfaces like curtains and sofas.

Electric stove heaters are an ideal choice for any room where a traditional fire would not be appropriate due to space limitations or safety concerns, or simply because you like the appearance of an electric fire that is both versatile and contemporary. With a range of options to fit any style of interior, the electric stove fire is a popular option for contemporary homes as well as period properties.
