A Stand Alone Fireplace Electric Can Give Your Room a Traditional Look

The electric fireplace is built in a traditional design and can be able to heat up to 1,000 square feet of rooms. It has a remote control and five brightness levels. It is CSA certified and has overload and overheat prevention.

It makes use of radiant, also known as infrared, heating to warm people and objects, rather than circulating warm air. We like its simple controls and two temperature settings.

Installation

Many models of stand alone fireplace electric are designed to hang on the wall using special mounting brackets. This can be a good option if you don't have much room in the fireplace area for an actual fire, or when other obstructions like windows, built-in bookshelves, or cabinets hinder you from installing a standard fireplace against an unfinished wall. Certain models can be 'built-into' the wall. This is a great option if you're seeking to give your space an older appearance. To ensure security, the fireplace should be at least three feet away from any combustible material.

Make sure to follow the instructions given by the manufacturer before hanging your fireplace. If you are able, put it near an electrical outlet on a flat surface. Mount the brackets carefully to the wall. Use a level gauge to make sure that the wall is level and straight before screwing in the bottom brackets.

Attach the front glass cover once the fireplace is mounted. Install the stones that come with your model for flame and effects of ember. Follow the guidelines that are provided by the manufacturer. Connect the power cord to the electrical outlet and plug in your fireplace.

If you decide to hardwire your fireplace prior to working make sure you turn off the circuit breakers at your home and allow up to 4 feet of service cable to go from the outlet to junction box on the insert. If you're not comfortable with this, you should hire an electrician.

Then, follow the instructions that came with your fireplace to connect it and install it into the wall. Certain fireplaces require additional hardware, such as an extension cable to connect to the power outlet. Depending on the type of fireplace you own an electrician might be required to assist. After you've connected everything and switched it on, you can enjoy your new fireplace.

Safety

Electric fireplaces have a variety of safety features built into their design. Most of these fireplaces come with a timer that can be set up to shut off the fireplace after a certain time. This feature is particularly beneficial for those with pets or young children in the house and don't want to be worried about that they might accidentally start the fireplace. Some fireplaces come with remote controls to make it easier to change the settings without getting from the couch or chair.

Although these fireplaces are more secure than traditional wood burning fire places they require some maintenance and care to ensure the safety of your family and your friends. To decrease the risk of a fire, it is important to keep combustibles away from the fireplace. In addition, it's essential to ensure that the vents are open to allow the proper circulation of cool and hot air throughout your home. It's also recommended to inspect your fireplace regularly by a professional so that any issues can be addressed before they become dangerous.

A surge protector may also be used to improve the security and reliability of your electric fire. These devices are designed to safeguard your appliances from spikes in electricity and assist in preventing injury or property damage from happening. These devices are available at many hardware stores and cost very little. They are a great investment to ensure the security of your home.

In addition to keeping combustible substances away from your fireplace, it is important to keep all electrical appliances, including the fireplace itself away from liquids and water. This will help to avoid any injuries or accidents such as electrocution that can occur if liquids are poured onto them. To avoid accidents that could cause tripping make sure that electrical cords are out of the way and free of knots. It's important to turn off the fireplace before you leave the home or get ready to go to bed. This will help you save on energy costs and stop any fires that might start accidentally when you're gone.

Simple to use

Electric fireplaces are more versatile than gas fireplaces. Gas fireplaces require ventilation systems as well as chimneys. Electric models can be set up anywhere. They are great for rooms without a fireplace and work just as well in modern freestanding electric fireplace homes as they do in older traditional ones.

The flexibility of an electric fireplace allows you to control its settings, which can be done with a simple remote or the display's touch screen. You can alter the flame's brightness, temperature, as well as the temperature of the embers according to your preferences. Many models come with features such as artificial smoke or crackling sounds to enhance the appearance and make the fire appear more real.

Electric fireplaces also require less maintenance than other fireplace options. Even though inspections, cleaning and repairs are still needed, they can be done at a lower frequency than with wood or gas units. These units can be utilized in any area of the home including bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchens as they require only an electrical outlet.

There are a variety of freestanding and wall-mounted electric standing fire fire places. Wall-mounted electric fireplaces can be mounted either above or below the mantel. They tend to be smaller and look more like an actual TV than a traditional fireplace. Freestanding models are generally larger, and some look almost like an actual fireplace with a mantel.

The choice of an electric fireplace is based on whether it will be used to provide heat or as a decorative piece. Although most models are made to warm the entire room, there are others that can be used without creating any warmth, ideal for those who just prefer the look of a fire.

If you're looking to purchase a model for heating, take a look at the BTUs it can produce. This is the amount of heat it will generate and should be enough to maintain the space at the desired temperature. Consider features like a timer controlled by the remote that will turn off the device automatically after a certain period of time or the sleep mode which will shut it off at a certain time.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is how much electricity a device consumes in comparison to the amount of heat it generates. It also indicates how much of that electricity is wasted in the process.

Electric fireplaces are more efficient the more energy they use. This is because they're more efficient in converting electricity into heat.

The most efficient electric fire places are rated between 75 and 90% thermal efficiency. This means that for each 100 BTUs, the unit emits between 75 and 99 BTUs can be used to heat your home. This is a lot more efficient than gas fireplaces, which typically have a thermal efficiency rating of only 80percent.

Check for the ENERGY STAR logo to ensure you get a fireplace that is energy efficient. This means it meets the strict efficiency standards set by the U.S. government. It is a good idea to look at a variety of models and brands before making a final choice. You can also try adding an adjustable thermostat to your home to help regulate temperatures and save money.

When shopping for an electric fireplace you'll find a wide range of styles that include wall-mounted and freestanding electric fire with remote control options. Some have remotes, and some are compatible with smartphones to give you control from anywhere in your home. You can also choose from a variety of flame settings and levels. You can also consider a low-heat setting or a setting that can be used even without a heater.
