The hearth
The hearth is a platform that is flat at the base of the fireplace. Its function is to shield the wall and floor from embers or heat. It is usually made from non-combustible material like stone or brick and extends 16 to 18 inches in front of the firebox. The majority of gas and wood fireplaces require a hearth while electric fireplace suites usually don't have one.
As a general rule, fireplace suites consist of four main components; an inset fire (either gas or electric), a surround/mantelpiece, a back panel and the hearth. The four components work together to create a centrepiece that can enhance the look of any room and make your home feel more welcoming. This is why suites are ideal for anyone who wants to transform their home and give it a fresh new look.
Suites are available in a wide variety of finishes, styles and colours that can be matched to any style. They also provide a wide selection of choices when it comes to kind of fire and effect as well as heating outputs. Gas-fuelled conventional fires are best suited to homes with chimneys, while balanced flue fireplaces can be used without chimneys.
Electric fireplaces are a great alternative for those looking to create an accent to their living spaces without the hassle of putting in traditional wood burners or a gas fire. The suites generate their own heat via convection that draws in cool air and warms it up before venting it out into the room. Contrary to fireplaces that burn wood, these suites do not release carbon monoxide, which can be dangerous if breathed in.
The back panel
A fireplace back panel is located behind the fireplace opening. It assists in creating an 'n-shaped' look with the surround, mantelpiece, and the inset fire. This can be made of a variety of heat-resistant materials, including stone and granite.
The back panel is usually included in a fireplace set which includes a surround, a mantelpiece, and an inset fire appliance. This is an ideal way to save time and hassle in the process of installation since the components have been designed to be a seamless fit both structurally and visually.

Divide the wattage of the fireplace by the energy rate per kilowatt hour charged by your electricity provider.

There are four types of fireplaces: wood (nice for viewing and feeling but less efficient, releases air pollutants such as carbon monoxide and particulate matter), gas (more efficient in terms of energy efficiency, but still produces carbon monoxide, and burns natural or synthesized logs), and electric (uses the technology of fan and coil and doesn't release any harmful gases, is very economical and cozy). If you want to get the most out of your fireplace suite make sure you choose one with high BTUs. This will heat your room quicker and create an authentic flame effect.
