It is recommended to use a power strip that is specifically designed for electric fireplaces, as it will give you a simple way to control your fireplace and other electronics.
The output of heat
When buying a freestanding electric fireplace suite it is essential to take into account the output of heat. This will determine how much heat it generates. The greater the kW output, the more the heat that your fireplace can generate. This is typically enough to provide heat for a moderate-sized living room.
Electric fires can produce up to 2kW of heat. This is enough to heat small or medium-sized rooms. They're a great choice for those who prefer the look of a wood-burning fireplace but don't have the time clean up ash or put in chimneys.
Aside from the standard output of kW There are also models that have an enhanced flame image to help make them more visually appealing. These models tend to make use of LED technology, which can produce a more realistic flame effect than standard bulbs. Certain models come with a programmable 7-day timer, which allows you to manage your fire from afar.
Certain electric fire sets come with built-in surrounds in either traditional or contemporary styles. This can help frame the fire and create a focal point for your living room.
