Electric Fireplaces Bristol

Modern electric fireplaces are highly energy efficient and they provide heating for your living room or room that they are installed in. They can be physically installed into a media wall or a wall in the room or they can be freestanding to be able to move when you move property or into different rooms. Significant heating will have an impact on your energy bills but electric fireplaces tend to be more efficient than other heating methods. There’s nowhere for heat to be lost when the heater is on with chimneys needing to be bricked up to prevent heat loss when you don’t have a wood burner or fireplace present in frequent use.

Electric fireplaces don’t have a live fire so they will be safer than regular fireplaces. They do get warm but not compared to metal being heated by burning wood. Electric fireplaces don’t generate real flames and many systems are installed with technology to make them safe to the touch which keeps pets and children safe. As your electric fireplace is an electrical appliance – you still need to follow the basic safety procedures when using it as an appliance.

Electric fireplaces don’t use real flame so they are safer and don’t require extensive installation such as with wood burners. However, you lose the heat from wood-fueled systems but this is the tradeoff that you have to make. Many properties are not appropriate for wood burners and media walls can be damaged by the heat intensity of live fires unless the media wall is built in a specific way. 

Electric fireplaces are designed to provide you with all of the visual benefits without having to install a wood burner that requires an open chimney and regular maintenance. Many homeowners love open fires and others prefer electric fireplaces – it largely comes down to your personal preference and budget.

An electric fireplace emulates the look and appearance of a fireplace or wood burner without burning fuel. Electric fireplaces are better suited for living rooms as a centrepiece for electronics such as a media wall rather than having to move your TV and sound system away from a wood burner. Electric fireplaces are typically safer for pets and children because they don’t burn as hot as metal with flames, and some systems have anti-heat touch technology. 

If a property doesn’t have a chimney installed or has a blocked-up chimney where you don’t want to opt for a traditional fireplace or wood burner, electric fireplaces are ideally suited for a number of properties. They allow you to achieve the heating and aesthetic of a regular fireplace without having to have a functional chimney, which has made them a highly popular accessory for the home.

Electric fireplaces have become very powerful and can be combined with other heating systems. They are highly cost-effective and can provide an impressive amount of heating for their size. Larger electric fireplaces will typically provide more heating than smaller units. For significant heating, you will notice that your electric fireplace needs to run for long periods of time, and you should expect your heating bill to reflect this. However, combining your electric fireplace with ‘traditional’ heating can save you money on your energy bills.

Zone heating is where you only use a heating system for a room that you are using. This also allows you to save money on energy bills as you are only using your electric fireplace when you need to heat your living room.

There are many electric fireplaces available that are stand-alone systems. You can simply buy them like other electrical appliances and then plug them into the wall, and they will then heat your room. We also install fireplaces into areas such as media walls to create an integrated electric fireplace. This will depend on your preferences, but a fitted electric fireplace will tend to fit the space better than a freestanding appliance.

Another key benefit of electric fireplaces is that they only require a plug to install. This means that you can put your fireplace wherever you want in your room, provided that there is an outlet available. If you want to move your fireplace and have a freestanding appliance, then you are able to move your fireplace to suit you or install multiple fireplaces in multiple rooms on your property. Such as if you want to install fireplaces in your bedrooms and in your kitchen. This is a much more cost-effective way of installing fireplaces across your property without having to install or use a complex multi-system flue which uses one chimney.
