Electric Stove Fires
Electric fires are the ideal option for modern homes, because they don't require the use of a chimney or flue. They only need electricity. This makes them ideal for a fireplace that is recessed or for creating a media wall.
Electric fires are less expensive than gas stoves which require a chimney to be installed and must be installed by a professional.
No need to install a chimney or flue
Contrary to gas fires and wood burners electric stove fires do not require an installation of chimneys. They can be fitted to the wall of a room, or even into existing fireplaces that are no longer in use, and operate on a plug-in basis. This makes them a great alternative for homes with no existing chimney, or those who are looking for a cost effective way of heating your home without the maintenance and wood cutting that traditional fireplaces require.
When you light a wood burning fire in a fireplace that is open, combustion by-products such as creosote can build up and damage the inside of the chimney. As time passes, this can cause corrosion to the bricks and mortar that make up the chimney creating cracks in the walls and smoke leaking into your living space or into the rooms around it. To prevent this issue, it is essential to line your chimney with a high-quality flue liner. It can be installed by professionals and is vital to ensure the security of your fireplace.
Gas flueless stoves are an alternative option for those who want an authentic log fireplace in their home, but don't have a chimney. These clever fires have an inbuilt catalytic converter to transform harmful gasses into harmless ones and require only an electricity source to operate.
The twin wall flue can be used for wood burning stoves without chimneys. This consists of stainless steel pipes that can be used internally or externally, and carry the smoke away to be blown out to the outside air. These systems are reasonably inexpensive however they require a bit of installation and must be kept at a distance of 425mm from any flammable material.

This includes the renowned Bramshaw model by British Fires, which has an appearance that resembles the appearance of a wood burning or gas fire, but only requires the plug-in.

Easy to move
If you have an existing stove in your home, and it's a style you're satisfied with, it's usually possible to take it with you when you move. Gas stoves however, require a professional to perform special removal and disconnect procedures. Electric fires are not always capable of being moved since they plug into an electrical outlet. You can move your electric real-flame fire to a different room in your home.
This flexibility is particularly useful for those who are planning to move in the near future, or rent out a portion of their home. It is also beneficial for those with pets or children who want to turn their fireplaces on and off at the touch of a button. Because there is no chimney or flue you can set up your electric fireplace into a flat-packed hearth. This makes it easy to set up.
Many electric stoves emulate the appearance of traditional wood burning stoves. The Be Modern Ravensdale suite for instance, provides a modern log burner effect in one easy to install package. The suite includes an appliance, surround and backplate, and the hearth. The Optimyst flame display is created by the display with the realistic hand-painted log fuel bed.
Most of our electric fire suites are available in various sizes, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your home. The size of the fireplace can impact the cost. The larger models generate more heat and consume more power than smaller ones. Our energy calculator can help you figure out the cost for you to run your electric stove fire to help you make an informed decision.
Use the lowest heat setting to get the best out of your electric fireplace. The majority of modern electric fires have adjustable heat settings. This means you can lower the temperature while still enjoying a warm and cozy atmosphere. This will not only reduce the amount of electricity you use, but can save you money on your heating bill as well!
No messy cleaning or maintenance
Electric stoves don't produce smoke, creosote, or ash like traditional fireplaces. This means that there's no need to chop wood or cleaning chimneys which makes them a more efficient alternative.

When cleaning is required first, you will want to shut off the power to your stove, either by disconnecting it or turning it off at your home's fuse box. Allow the stove to cool completely before cleaning it. Once the appliance is fully cold, you can begin to clean dirt and dust from the grate and heat outlets including inlets, and glass. A dry, clean cloth will typically suffice. You'll also need to clean your fan heater's blower. This can be done using dry cloths or vacuum cleaners that have an nozzle that is specifically designed for it (if you own one). Finally, you will want to clean the parts that emit flames that typically comprise the halogen bulb or LED strip and mirrors that are attached to rods. These can be cleaned with dry cloths or by vacuuming.
It is important to remember that you shouldn't immerse the coils in water. They plug into a certain kind of socket and submerging them in water can damage the appliance. If they become dirty, you can make a solution of hot dish soap and water or, if needed, a degreaser such as denatured alcohol. The coils must be cleaned and any drip pans removed must be reattached.
As long as you follow these easy steps, your electric fireplace will continue to function just as it should.

Electric stoves are marketed for their attractive appearance. Many models come with realistic flame effects made using LED or LCD technology. These advanced systems allow you to adjust the brightness of flame effects from a gentle glow to a vibrant, lively fire. They can be used to create mood lighting or a focal point.
The majority of models also provide the option to turn off the heat and utilize the flame effects to create the sake of a cozy atmosphere and to reduce energy bills. This is a great feature for those who want to appreciate the aesthetics of a fireplace, but do not require it to be warm and cozy at all times.
Some models are made of steel or cast iron, with a glass front. Each model comes with distinctive style. The control panel and display may be integrated into the exterior of the stove, or concealed for a more modern appearance.
A good electric stove will have overheat protection in place to protect against any potential damage caused by an overheating of the appliance. This is especially important as the majority of models are designed to be placed close to flammable surfaces and fabrics like curtains, sofas and blankets.
