Electric Fires & Installation

Why choose an Electric Fire?

Electric Fires are perfect for homes that don’t have a traditional fireplace, flue or chimney but would still love to have the ‘real fire’ aesthetics.

The beauty of Electric Fires is you can always have the atmosphere of a real fire without the actual heat output which we know our customers love.

All that you want from a good company. Good advise on what or what not to do. Did what they said they’d do and did it when they said they’d do it. No hidden extras – the price was the price. Good communication throughout. Thoroughly professional. I would highly recommend.

Versatility is a real benefit of Electric Fires.

They come in a wide range of designs and styles and some electric fireplaces can even be built into TV stands, be wall-mounted or freestanding for that ultra-modern look. Features like adjustable flame effects and temperature control also mean you can completely customise your experience depending on how you feel!

Here are just a few of our favourites.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electric Fires

1. How do electric fires work?
Electric fires work by using electrical heating elements to generate heat. They often include a fan to distribute the warmth and produce a flame-like visual effect.
Yes, electric fires are generally energy-efficient. They can convert nearly all the electricity they consume into heat. However, the actual efficiency can vary between models and of course there are cost-implications with rising prices, however we can advise how to use your fire sensibly to avoid excessive energy bills.
No, electric fires do not require a chimney or vent. They are designed to be ventless, making them easy to install in any room without the need for a traditional fireplace setup (which is normally why our customers choose them over our stoves or gas fire options).
Yes, electric fires are excellent for zone heating. You can use them to heat specific rooms or areas, which can be more energy-efficient than heating an entire home. Our installation team can advise on this.
To be honest, electric fires are generally safer for children and pets compared to traditional fireplaces because they don’t produce real flames and often have cool-to-touch surfaces. However, caution is of course still necessary to prevent accidents.
Electric fires are actually relatively low-maintenance. You may need to occasionally clean the glass front and replace any burnt-out light bulbs that create the flame effect.
Very simply! Most electric fires come with a thermostat or heat settings that allow you to control the temperature and you can adjust these settings to the heat level you would like.
Electric fires rely on electricity, so they won’t work during a power outage unless you have a backup power source, such as a generator.
