ELECTRIC FIREPLACE
 
Electric fireplace designs
 
An electric fireplace is an electric heater that mimics a fireplace burning coal, wood, or natural gas. Electric fireplaces are often placed in conventional fireplaces, which can then no longer be used for conventional fires.
They plug into the wall, and can run on a "flame only" setting, or can be used as a heater, typically consuming 1.4 to 1.6 kW to heat a 40 m2 room.
 
An Alternative Solution to Wood and Gas Electric fireplaces are versatile heating systems designed to offer homeowners a convenient and environmentally friendly way to heat a living space. Using a technique known as zone heating, electric heaters can lower energy costs. Additionally, they come with standard safety features that make them safer than gas or wood alternatives.
 
Electric fireplace inserts are extremely easy to install and come in a wide variety of designs to fit in with any decorating style. Best of all, the ambiance of a fireplace can be enjoyed year round, even during the summer
months, with the optional heat settings.
There's nothing quite like an electric fireplace. It's very different from wood-burning or gas fireplaces. Electric fireplaces are in a class by themselves.
 
Electric fireplaces provide more flexibility than traditional wood or gas-burning fireplaces. They're ideal for warmth on a cold winter’s night, ambiance in the middle of the summer, or a greener approach to heating.

Install

Electric fireplaces are visually appealing, and there are many types to suit your home's interior. Compared to traditional fireplaces, electric fireplaces save space and are flexible to install. A variety of sizes, shapes and colors give you the opportunity to add warmth and ambience to your home in a way that suits your decor.

Convenient

Electric fireplaces have a longer lifespan than other types of fireplaces. The flame is not real and does not burn combustible fuels, which means there is no corrosive material degrading and corroding components.
Installation is simple and you can do it yourself. Most units come with remote controls, some are switches and some can control everything from flame levels to heat levels. Even during the warmer seasons, most fireplaces have the option to create a flame effect without the use of a heating element.

Heating

Electric fireplaces do not require a chimney or special venting, which means they do not lose heat through the chimney or special venting. You have more control over the heat output than a traditional fireplace. You can increase or decrease the heat level to ensure maximum comfort.
Electric fireplaces are generally not designed to be a home's central heating source, but they can heat a small room more efficiently than wood fireplaces.

Safety

Electric fireplaces tend to be safer than traditional fireplaces because the flames are fake and there is no chance of wood rolling out of the fireplace, eliminating open flame fire hazards. Electric fireplaces are safe for children and pets because there are no exposed hot surfaces that could cause accidental burns. Materials are generally cool to the touch, with the exception of heat exhaust vents, which may become warm to the touch.They emit no harmful gases and have a much smaller carbon footprint.

Efficiency

Since there is no chimney or vent for the heat to escape, electricity is converted directly into heat with a conversion rate of 99%. Aside from replacing the bulbs every 2 or 3 years, they are maintenance-free and do not require professional maintenance or installation.

Cost

Electric fireplaces are less expensive to install and operate than wood or gas fireplaces.
Key points for a Electric fireplace
 
 

How Do Electric Fireplaces Work?


An electric fireplace looks similar to a traditional wood-burning or gas fireplace, but it works very differently. It does not require any fuel, venting, or professional installation of any kind.


They can heat spaces up to 1000 square feet (depending on the model). Flame effects can be adjusted and can be run without heat.


The heat is produced by electricity aided by either a heating coil, ceramic plate, or infrared technology.


Heat Coil


A heating coil heats the air in and around the unit then forces it out into the room with a fan. As the heating element warms up, the fan circulates the heated air into the room. The airflow helps distribute the heat evenly.


Ceramic Plate


A ceramic plate is a radiant form of heat that transfers heat from the unit to objects in the room.


Infrared


Some electric fireplaces also use infrared technology which directly heats objects within a room. In both cases, supplemental heating is provided for the desired area without the mess, fumes or dangerous gas.


How Is the Flame Produced?


Electric units have no live flame. They have what is called flame effects, or lifelike reproductions. The most common method involves the use of LED lights and mirrors.


The LEDs produce a soft, flickering light that imitates the look of flames. Mirrors reflect the light to create depth and movement.


Some advanced models also incorporate a water vapor system that produces a realistic-looking smoke effect.


The technology varies from model to model, but your guests will do a double take when seeing your fireplace. It takes a closer look to see that they aren't real flames.

How Are They Controlled?

Electric fireplaces come with controls that allow you to adjust the heat output, flame intensity, and other settings. These controls may be buttons, knobs, or a remote control, depending on the specific model.

"Smart" fireplace models can be controlled by an app on your phone. Some apps can be used with voice command assistance. Adjusting your fire can be as easy as a simple sentence or touch of a button on your phone. 

What Safety Features Do Electric Fireplaces Have?

Electric fireplaces are much safer than traditional ones, especially around vulnerable children and animals. They have built-in safety features such as automatic shut-off mechanisms to prevent overheating, cool-to-touch surfaces to prevent burns, and tip-over protection to switch off the fireplace if it is accidentally knocked over. 

The flames themselves do not produce any heat. The fireplace unit stays cool to the touch reducing danger or burn.

Because there is no flame or fuel being burned, there is no harmful smoke or gas (like carbon monoxide) created. You don't need the additional risk of a chimney or any other venting as you do with traditional fireplaces. 

To keep your electric unit in top shape and operating safely, keep it away from liquids, turn it off when unattended, and be sure to use electrical outlets safely.

Do Electric Fireplaces Heat a Room?

Electric units provide supplemental heating for rooms 400-1000 square feet in size. You can control the heat and flame effects via remote control or app. As a result, these fireplaces can provide a flame without heat so that it can be enjoyed throughout the year.

All units provided on Electric Fireplaces Direct list a particular amount of space they can adequately heat. The amount of space can vary by manufacturer and type of fireplace.

For example, mantel packages generally heat a larger area than free-standing electric stoves. Because of this, most homeowners use them for larger rooms, while limiting free-standing electric stoves to smaller spaces.

An electric unit gives more options than traditional wood-burning and gas fireplaces. They are an excellent alternative that can be enjoyed for several years.
