Electric fireplaces create the illusion of a warm, flickering fire without there being any actual burning fuel or flames. To create the realistic flames and heat output of an actual fireplace, electric fireplaces use internal mechanisms such as rotating lights and air blowers. Due to these mechanisms, all electric fireplaces will produce some level of noise; which is very minimal.
Compared to traditional fireplaces, electric fireplaces require little effort to keep them clean and running safely. Without a real fire or burning fuel, electric fireplaces produce no harmful byproducts like the ash or smoke that a traditional fireplace produces. However, it may still be necessary to clean your electric fireplace occasionally to keep it in best condition.
What size room an electric fireplace can heat will depend on the particular model’s heating element. An electric fireplace with a fan-forced heater can efficiently heat a room of up to 400 square feet in size. Electric fireplaces with infrared technology can heat larger rooms to 1000 square feet in size.
Electric fireplaces are fastly becoming the most popular option when it comes to fireplace installation. They can be installed anywhere providing there is a suitable power source, create no harmful emissions, are 100% energy efficient and come in so many different styles that there is one out there for every aesthetic or preference.
An electric fireplace does not have a flame. Electric fireplaces instead create the illusion of a real burning flame using one of several mechanisms; this could either be an LED bulb shining on a series of mirrors, an LED bulb and water vapor, or a digital screen. Electric fireplaces also typically contain a heating element to further mimic a real flame by enabling the unit to produce heat. Overall, this gives an electric fireplace a highly realistic look and feel without having any actual flame
In the process of choosing a new fireplace for your home, you may be weighing up between a gas or electric fireplace. There are several different aspects to consider when deciding which fireplace would be best, such as safety, running costs, and energy efficiency.
Unlike traditional fireplaces, electric fireplaces produce no fire, no smoke, and no other gas byproducts. In addition to this, electric fireplaces do not require any combustible fuels or real flames to produce heat. All of these elements of traditional fireplaces are replaced with the electrical components of the electric fireplace.
Making the switch from a traditional fuel-burning fireplace to an electric fireplace is not as difficult a process as you may think. Electric fireplaces are one of the easiest appliances to install, as well as being cheaper to run and easier to maintain than traditional fireplaces. You can install an electric fireplace into a real fireplace, regardless of whether it has a functioning chimney. Electric fireplaces do not require this type of ventilation as they don’t burn real fuel, nor do they produce smoke. All you need is enough space in the firebox to place the unit, along with an available electric power source nearby to provide it with electricity to run.
Using a realistic flame effect and a heating element, electric fireplaces reproduce every desirable aspect of a real fireplace. They can look and feel exactly like a real fireplace, having a flickering, 3D flame, and giving off tangible heat. This may make you question whether an electric fireplace needs a vent or chimney like a real fireplace would too.
A fireplace is a key feature often left out of new build properties due to advances in central heating technology. Even so, despite not being a practical necessity, many feel as though they still need a fireplace in their new home
