Installation
A freestanding electric fire suite is a great feature for any living space, they are easy to fit and can be installed by anyone with some basic DIY skills. They are more efficient than gas or solid fuel fireplaces, since they do not require chimneys. Electric fires produce heat by heating a metal element which warms the air surrounding them.

There are many ways to install an electric freestanding fire suite. One option is to mount it on the wall using a wall bracket. This is a relatively simple job, and you'll often find a diagram in the box that outlines the locations where you must drill holes and place the raw plugs. You can also mount the fire on a shelf that is open. Ensure that the fireplace is set on a suitable base, and is not in contact with any flammable materials.
Another option is to buy a flat-wall electric fireplace suite with an integrated surround. These surrounds are available in both contemporary and traditional designs. They are designed to be flush against the wall. Some surrounds have extra features such as log stores or spaces to display decor that can enhance the overall look of the room.
Some electric fireplaces come with an installation kit which allows them to be installed in a wall cavity. This is a more difficult task, and requires professional skills to do. Make sure to consult a professional prior to installing a recessed fireplace to avoid costly damage or injury.
Once your new electric fire suite is set up you will be able to take pleasure in the warmth and comfort immediately. The flames are visible from the front of the unit, and they can create a warm, cosy environment.

Safety
An electric fireplace is a fantastic way to warm your home without the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or other dangerous gasses. But as with any heating system in your home there are certain rules and safety measures you must follow to prevent fires or other incidents. This includes keeping the fireplace away from burning materials, making sure that pets and children aren't too close to the flames and maintaining the distance between your fireplace and the walls of your home.
It is important to carefully read and follow the directions of the manufacturer if you plan to install an electric fireplace in your home. These guidelines will ensure that your fireplace is installed and operated properly, and will help you avoid potential dangers. In addition, it is important to keep an extinguisher in the event of an emergency.
It is recommended to examine your electric fireplace frequently for signs of wear and tear to maximize its lifespan. This gives you the opportunity to fix any issues before they become major problems and prevent costly repairs. Also, it's recommended to clean your fireplace regularly with a damp, clean cloth to get rid of dirt or dust.
The most important thing to keep in mind when using an electric fireplace is not to leave it unattended. This is particularly important if there are children or pets in the home. Fireplaces that are left unattended can be risky. Even a small fire could cause burns. It is recommended to install an alarm for fire and CO2 in your home. They can detect dangerous gases that could be fatal if inhaled.
Beware of using extension cords when using your electric fire suite. They could pose a fire risk, as they are not designed to handle the intense temperature produced by an electric fire suite. Use a power strip made specifically for your electric fire suite. It allows you to control the fireplace and other electronic devices.
The output of heat
The power of a freestanding electric fire suite is an important factor to consider when purchasing one, as it will determine how much warmth it produces. The greater the kW rating and the higher the heat output, the more warmth the fireplace will generate. This will usually provide a moderate amount of heat to a living room.
Electric fires can generate up to 2kW of heat. This is enough to warm a small or medium-sized room. This makes them a great heating option for those looking for a wood-burning stove design but don't want the hassle of cleaning up the ash and constructing an chimney.
In addition to the standard kW output There are also models that have an enhanced flame image to help make them more appealing to the eye. These models are more likely to use LED technology, which produces a realistic flame effect. Some of these models also have a programmable 7-day timer, which allows you to control your fire remotely.
Some electric fire suites also have built-in surrounds that are traditional or contemporary styles. This can help frame the fire and create a focal point for your living room. Certain surrounds include log storage, media units and places to display your decor. You can customize your electric fire suite to match your interior design.
If you're looking for an elegant look, there are a number of sleek, flat wall electric fireplace suites to pick from. For instance the Elgin & Hall Pryzm Vardo electric fireplace suite is stunning black finishes, while the Flamerite Jaeger 1020 is designed to be in a straight line against the wall with a flat surface.
Another option is an infrared electric fire suite that uses infrared light to heat the surfaces and objects of your home. This kind of heating is more efficient than fan-type heaters that only warm the air. It is important to remember that infrared heating can only warm objects and surfaces that are in direct line of the heat rays.
If you're seeking an electric fire suite that has a higher wattage, there are options available that can reach 3kW of heat output. This is enough to provide warmth to a large living room. However, the majority of electric fire suites we sell provide heat outputs in the 1kW-2kW range, which is more than sufficient for most living spaces.
Style

These models have many built-in features, such as log storage, and spaces to display decor. They also add to the look.
As opposed to wood and gas-burning stoves, these models release no dangerous gases or smoke. Instead, they generate heat through the use of a fan that draws into cold air and passes it through an abrasive metal coil to warm it and then vents it out through the back of the unit. This method of generating heat is safer and makes these units ideal for younger families or for those suffering from breathing disorders such as asthma.
