The hearth
Electric fire suites do not require a chimney or flue unlike traditional fireplace suites. Instead an in-unit heater generates approximately 5,000 BTUs of warmth while fans push warm air through your home. This means you can enjoy the look and feel of a genuine wood burning fireplace without the dangers of a fire.
Evolution Fires has a wide selection of electric suites that can turn an ordinary wall into an impressive focal point. The Be Modern Ravensdale is a free-standing unit that can be placed on a flat surface without the need for recessing.

Electric fireplace suites are an affordable option to give your home a a clean, modern look. These fireplaces are also safe for pets and children since they don't release fumes or flames. These units are also cool to the touch, preventing any burns. They can also be shut off remotely if they're accidentally thrown down.
The majority of electric fireplaces are not constructed from bricks and mortar. This means that they do not have the same look like their traditional counterparts. However, they're a popular option for homeowners because of their convenience and ease of installation. Typically an masonry fireplace needs significant work to frame and build the brick chimney. An electric suite is much simpler to install since there's no need for an entire chimney or venting system.
They are a great choice for homes that do not have the space or money to accommodate a wood or gas burning stove. They also work well for use in dining rooms and extensions, as well as conservatories.
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing an electric fireplace is the dimension of the room in which it will be located. It is essential to measure the room before buying since certain models only work in certain rooms. It's also an ideal idea to have a friend or family member assist you during the installation process. This will ensure that everything is installed correctly and that there is no damage during the process.
The surround/mantelpiece
Electric fireplace suites are the perfect solution for those who are worried about smoke or sparks, or don't want the stress of maintaining a real fire. These suites comprise an inset fire, surround/mantelpiece, back panel and hearth - all working together as one complete package. There are a variety of designs and sizes to pick from.
A wide mantel is a great location to display precious family heirlooms and other bric-a-brac. You can also use it to mount a TV, though be sure to check that the fireplace suite is able to accommodate the TV you want to use.
The choice of surround can greatly affect the appearance of an electric fireplace's design. For example natural stone finishes will complement traditional decor, while an old-fashioned wood surround can work with modern designs. A neutral painted finish looks stunning as does a modern marble surround.
Choose a material that is different to add interest to your mantel. Arbor & Co used textured white tiles with an ebony firebox that was dark and an slat wall made of wood to make their fireplace feel as if it were an integral element of the room's design. You can also use a painted wood mantel with more graphic tile surround for a contemporary feel.
Some electric fireplaces have a built-in mantelpiece. This makes installation simple and eliminates the need to construct your mantelpiece. Some have shelves that are simple and perfect for holding books and other items of interest. A wide shelf can also be used to display vases or other tabletop accessories.
The electric fireplace suite is the heart of any living space, so it's important to select a style that is compatible with your furniture and decor.

The fire
Contrary to traditional wood-burning or gas fireplaces electric suites don't burn fuel and do not require a chimney or recess, flue, or chimney. Instead, they utilize the combination of mirrors and LED lights to produce what looks like flames that are burning inside the fireplace. Electric fireplaces employ different technologies, but they look very real. Certain models allow you to adjust the heat output or switch off the flame effects completely. Most electric units also have a remote control or in the case of "smart" fireplace suites the app can be controlled by voice commands.
The fire of a suite electric fireplace is usually surrounded by a surround/mantelpiece. This gives it a distinctive look and helps to create an illusion of depth to a room. It is made of limestone, stone micro-marble or even painted in a variety colours such as black, white and grey. Some of these surrounds come with a hearth and back panel that are built-in, which will add a touch of elegance.
Suites are available in both free-standing and wall-mounted designs. If you choose to install your suite it will be fixed to the wall using brackets that rest on the top of the unit. These brackets can be adjusted in the height and are compatible with almost every electric unit. Some of these brackets also come with built-in downlights that can enhance the appearance of your electric fireplace.

This contemporary electric suite comes with a widescreen electric fire framed by a chunky outer surround with an elegant white finish. The Detroit is low in height which means it can be placed beneath the TV without battling with it for attention.

The heater
A suite electric fireplace appears like a traditional gas or wood-burning fire, but it operates very differently. It uses a combination of mirrors and LED lights to create a realistic representation of flames, and some models that incorporate a water vapor system to give it a more authentic look. These units are an excellent alternative to traditional fireplaces whether you're looking to warm up on the cold winter nights or just to add ambiance.
Electric suites don't require regular maintenance or chimney venting as they do with real-flame fireplaces. However, it will require connecting to an electrical socket for power. The majority of suites come with control options like knobs or buttons to control the heat output and flame intensity. Some are even smart, allowing you control your unit using an app or by voice command.
You can also choose from a variety of different styles to match your decor from contemporary to modern. The Be Modern Flare Beadnell has an imposing design with strong lines, while the Elsie 900 has an incredibly realistic glowing log effect fuel bed. It comes with an Ice White finish. The Flamerite Aubade 48" Electric Fireplace Suite features a classy micro marble surround as well as a back panel and hearth. It can be mounted on the wall or stand in the hearth.
Electric fire suites come with the additional benefit of being easy to maintain. They generally do not use as much electricity as a real-flame fireplace, and the only maintenance required is to remove dust or smudges off the glass in front. Some fireplaces also come with fans that help circulate the heat, but this is not required in most applications.
Electric suites are more popular because they're less difficult to install than wood-burning or gas units. They don't require a chimney or a professional installation. They can be used in rooms that are up to 1,000 square feet. They're perfect for those living in apartments or condos or anyone who wants an eco-friendly and more convenient option than traditional fireplaces.
