Freestanding Log Effect Electric Fires
Electric log fires are a great alternative to a traditional fireplace. They offer the same appeal of real wood fireplaces, but without the dangers and hassles of real wood. The logs can be replaced with a pebble, crystal or other fuel bed to create a unique appearance.
They can be moved from room to another since they do not need a chimney or ventilation system and they don't create a flame so do not require clearance from combustible material.
Adaptability
Electric fires can be a great option for anyone looking to create a flexible beautiful fireplace to their home. They do not require the installation of a permanent fixture. They can be mounted on the wall, inserted into an existing hole in the wall or used as an independent unit. A lot of them can be controlled via remote control or controlled by a timer. They're a great option for those with a little space or are renting their home.
The selection of electric log effect fires we stock at Fires2U features both traditional and contemporary styles with a wide choice of frame colours, fuel effects and light features available. We offer a range of fires, from low-profile models for flat wall installations to front-facing designs for inset or in-wall holes. Choose either a pebble or coal fuel bed for a more traditional look or choose a modern styled finish that features an acrylic flame effect and a choice of glass colours, including black or sandstone surround.
We also offer energy-efficient models that can reduce your electric bills. These models have thermostatic controls that maintain a pre-set temperature and shut off automatically once the room is at this temperature, thus saving money on your utility bills. We also have models that come with timers that are programmable to allow you to set your fire to start at a specific time and then shut off after a certain amount of time, preventing unnecessary use. A majority of electric fires come with backlighting options as well to create mood lighting within your living space.
Installation flexibility
The design of electric fires allows for installation flexibility that can be customized to suit your space. For example, if you opt for a stove model that looks like a genuine log burner, you can choose to mount the appliance on a mantel or have it installed in an alcove for seamless appearance. A lot of models come with logs that are removable that you can change to match your decor. You can also alter temperatures and visual effects with a remote control, allowing you to have the complete convenience.

Another option is a built-in electric fire that can be incorporated into furniture pieces such as mantels and media consoles. They can be built in an existing chimney, which can solve problems with existing fireplaces. Or, they can be recessed into a wall to give it a flush look. Some of them are available in compact designs, which are ideal for small spaces.

Wide range of control options
Electric fires are a great alternative to traditional fireplaces because they do not require expensive installation or wood-chopping. They also provide a wide selection of control options and are extremely simple to operate, so you can switch the flames on and off, adjust the brightness and choose between different flame effects.
Some models even have doors that open which give you a clearer view of the flame picture and make them appear more realistic. You can mount them on a wall or in a log-effect surround that is either traditional or modern. Unlike traditional fireplaces, electric fires don't have to be vented and can be used in homes that don't have a flue, and also in flats or new build homes.
A lot of electric fireplaces are controlled by remote control. You can alter the flame effect, timer settings, and also the light. You can also monitor your room's temperature.

The majority of electric fires that we have available can be installed as a freestanding unit, while some can be incorporated into an opening in brick or a chimney breast. When choosing an electric fire it is essential to verify the wattage of the fire since this will impact the heat output and energy consumption. We also suggest looking at the settings for heat that allow you to adjust both the heat and flame effect with the push of a button.

If you're looking to find a more gentle heating option you can choose smaller models. The energy output of many electric fires is measured in kW. It's important to consider the dimensions of the room and the use for when deciding on the power rating. For example, a bedroom could require an energy rating lower than a living room.
You can also buy an inset fireplace designed to fit into the standard opening. These models, like the Celsi Ultiflame VR Elite or Evonic Halo 1500 XT, integrate into custom-built wall units and typically come with built-in audio and TV systems as well as a TV. They can seamlessly blend into the décor and create a stunning centerpiece.

Energy efficiency
Electric fires do not emit harmful gases, making them a more environmentally-friendly option than their gas or wood-powered counterparts. There's no need to buy fuel or have a chimney built, and they're also cheaper than traditional fireplaces when it comes to operating costs due to the fact that they don't require expensive maintenance and service.
Electric fireplaces are available in a variety of sizes and kW ratings, which means you can choose the level of heat that your room requires. fireplacesandstove helps you to control energy costs by ensuring that your home doesn't get too hot or too cold. Certain models have a thermostat that allows you monitor and maintain the temperature you want. It also shuts off the fire once you reach the set level.
You can also pick from a wide range of optical illusions, ranging from log and coal-effect fuel beds to a more modern design using stones or other materials instead of logs. The lighting in these fires uses LEDs that produce an authentic flame effect and some of them have LED lights in the logs which flicker to give a striking glow.
When combined with a radiator, an electric fire can be a wonderful source of warmth. The captivating fires are ideal for relaxing in the midst of them after a long, hard day. They can also add a touch of elegance to your living space by creating a beautiful focal point. But, they're not intended to be the primary heat source for large rooms and will only generate enough warmth for smaller areas.
