Add a Freestanding Electric Fireplace Suite to Your Home
Add a stunning focal point to your room by installing one of our freestanding electric fireplace suites. These fireplaces come with stunning surrounds in both traditional and contemporary styles that perfectly frame the fireplace. Some include log stores and areas to display decor to give a striking look.
Electric fireplaces emit radiant heat which heats the objects in a room. They include a remote and timer that allows you to set your desired heat levels.
Flame Effect
The flame effect on a freestanding electric fire suite can be very realistic. This is the reason these fires are different from the standard Amazon fireplaces. They employ a high-definition LED effect to make the flames look real. The result is a beautiful warm glow, like a wood burning fireplace.
These fire suites with electric ignition are extremely user-friendly and can be controlled using the Flamerite eControl app on an Android or iOS compatible device, or the remote control that comes with each suite. The app allows you to select from a wide range of flame and fuel effects. They include Radia or Nitra. Nitra offers 5 pre-set animated scrolling effects as well as the timer function.
They don't release any harmful gasses like wood-burning units do, so they are very safe for children and pets. The heat is generated by the fan that draws cold air and then passes it through a heated coil prior to release at a higher temperature. This warms the room and creates a current that will quickly warm up your family members or guests.
Another thing that makes these units safe is that they don't release any carbon monoxide, which could be deadly if inhaled. This is a huge advantage for people suffering from asthma or other respiratory ailments.
Freestanding electric fires also use less energy than wood-burning units, and they work much faster. They don't require any wood or gas to be burned. They can be switched on and off quickly. There is also no need for ventilation since there is no smoke or ash.

Heat
Electric fireplace suites provide warmth in a more simple way than traditional fireplaces that rely on gas, wood or coal. All you need to do is switch them on and choose a desired temperature for the space you wish to be heated.

Some of them come with contemporary, sleek and clean surround that creates an impressive focal point for your living room. Others feature traditional designs that will blend in perfectly with your existing decor. Some come with additional features, such as media units or log storage, to help create a more customized look.
Certain electric fireplaces are more efficient than traditional fireplaces because they feature zones of heating that make sure they only heat the space that they are in every day. This means that you won't be concerned about wasting energy or overheating your home. You can select from a variety of settings including the ambiance setting which only lights the flames but doesn't heat the room, or the low heating option.
Lastly, a good freestanding electric fireplace set-up comes with remote controls that allow you to control the features. You can change the flames' color or set a timer from anywhere in the house. The display panel should show the current status of your room, including its power and temperature. Some will include a sleep mode that shuts off the heater after a certain period of inactivity.
Installation
A fireplace with an electric option can boost the value of your home's resales and make it more attractive to potential buyers. It can also provide you with a choice to heating your home using gas or using an air conditioning system during hot temperatures. But, you'll want to ensure that your fireplace is set up correctly to avoid safety concerns.
Installation varies depending on the model, however it is essential to read and follow the directions. If you're not confident doing the work yourself then you might need to hire an electrician who is experienced to complete the job. It is essential to follow all safety precautions when installing electrical wiring. If you're required to connect wires, make sure you have the right equipment to do it.
A majority of our freestanding suites include a ready built surround that blends with the fire perfectly and creates an eye-catching feature. Surrounds come in both modern and traditional designs. Some even have log stores or places to display your décor. These features allow you to create a unique room and further personalize your suite.
Wall mounted electric fires are becoming more more popular and are a great option to create a stunning accent to your home. These electric fires are easily installed on a flat wall provided that the wall is suitable for the product and the fixings are strong enough to withstand the weight. Follow the installation guidelines for more information.
Electric fires come with the added benefit of being able to be installed into existing fireplace openings without the requirement for chimneys or flues. This is an excellent alternative for homeowners who want to improve their fireplace, but do not have the time or funds to make more substantial renovations.
Unlike wood-burning fires, an electric fireplace doesn't create any fumes or smoke. Electric fireplaces are an excellent choice for homes with pets or children. Moreover, they are much more user-friendly than fireplaces that use wood because you simply need to turn them on and select the desired temperature.
Safety
Modern electric fireplaces come with an array of safety features built-in. Many of them have a built-in timer, which allows you to set the length of time you wish your fireplace to run before it ceases to function. Many fireplaces come with a heat-protection mode that shuts off the fire when it detects that the temperature in the room has risen too high. This feature prevents carbon monoxide poisoning, which can occur from inhaling the fumes released by wood-burning or gas burning fires.
A freestanding electric fireplace does not need a chimney. This makes them a more versatile choice for homeowners. However, you should still be sure to keep them away from flammable materials and toys for children to ensure that they don't overheat.
If you are unsure of the safety of an electric fire suite, it is best to seek advice from an expert or consult the manufacturer. You should also look for any warning indications that the fire could be damaged, such as cracks or melting plastic on the front of the unit. It is also essential to ensure that the unit's cord and plug are not plugged into a power strip or extension cord which could lead to electrical malfunctions and fires.
It's also a good idea for you to purchase an appliance that comes with a wireless remote control which allows you to control it from any room. This will prevent you from accidentally switching on the fire when you're asleep or in a different room. Also, keep your remote out of reach of children and pets to avoid them from playing with it.
Freestanding electric fireplaces tend to look more traditional than wall-mounted units. This is particularly applicable to those that are placed flat against a wall. You can mount them on top, but it would be difficult to mount the TV on top of a wall mount since they occupy a lot of vertical space.
