Versatile Electric Fireplace Built-in Options
Our range of electric fireplaces is designed to cater to various aesthetic and functional preferences, ensuring there's a perfect match for every home. From single-sided models that fit snugly against a wall to multi-sided options that provide a panoramic view of the beautiful flames, our electric fireplaces offer versatility and cutting-edge technology. Here’s a detailed look at our offerings:
Single-Sided
These traditional one-sided fireplaces are perfect for standard installations against a wall. They are ideal for creating a focal point in living rooms, bedrooms, or any space that requires a touch of warmth and elegance. The LED flames are beautifully showcased against a solid background, enhancing the realistic appearance of a traditional fire.
Two-Sided
Our two-sided fireplaces feature an opening in the front and one side, offering a unique visual experience from different angles. This design is excellent for installation on corner walls where the fireplace can be enjoyed from adjacent rooms. It’s an effective way to enhance the spaciousness of the area while providing ambient warmth.
Three-Sided
For those seeking an even more immersive experience, our three-sided models offer views from the front and both sides, making them a stunning centerpiece. These are particularly effective as room dividers, allowing the beauty and warmth of the fireplace to be enjoyed from multiple vantage points in an open-plan space.
Water Vapour Feature: See-Through and Room Divider Options
Our fireplaces come with options like see-through designs and configurations that can serve as room dividers. These models are equipped with advanced electric water vapor technology, creating an incredibly realistic flame effect that is both safe and mesmerizing. The vapor-based system produces a flame that looks authentic but remains cool to the touch, making it safe for homes with children and pets. It’s important to note that due to specific design requirements, double-sided electric fireplaces are not available. This limitation is primarily because the LED flame technology requires a background to reflect on to create the vivid flame illusion. Without this reflection, the realistic quality of the flames would be compromised.
Easy Installation and Enhanced Safety of Electric Fireplace Inserts
One of the standout features of electric fireplace inserts is their ease of installation, which contrasts sharply with the complex setup required for traditional wood or gas fireplaces. Here’s a closer look at why these units are not only easy to install but also exceptionally safe for home environments.
Installation Simplicity
Electric fireplace inserts are designed for hassle-free installation. The basic requirement is an electrical outlet and a designated space in your wall that can accommodate the insert. Most models are ready to "plug and play” and can be set up with minimal tools or technical skills. This means no need for venting ducts, chimneys, or gas lines which are typically associated with more traditional installations and can often involve lengthy and disruptive construction work.
For homeowners looking for an even simpler solution, some electric fireplace inserts are designed to fit into existing fireplace spaces, which means they can be slotted into the old fireplace cavity, instantly modernizing an outdated feature without major renovations.
Operational Safety
Safety is a paramount feature of electric fireplace inserts. Since they operate on electricity, these fireplaces do not produce an open flame, eliminating risks associated with traditional fireplaces. There are no real flames to manage, which means no sparks, hot embers, or the possibility of accidental fires starting from flying sparks or logs rolling out. This aspect alone makes electric inserts particularly suitable for families with young children or pets, providing peace of mind that the fire is safely contained within the unit.
Additionally, electric fireplace inserts do not emit smoke, toxic fumes, or carbon monoxide that are common with combustion fireplaces. This means better indoor air quality and no need for a vent or flue, further simplifying installation and maintaining healthier living conditions.
User Convenience and Full Control
To further enhance safety and convenience, electric fireplace inserts often come equipped with advanced features such as remote controls, adjustable heat settings, and timers. These allow users to control the fireplace from anywhere in the room and even pre-set heating schedules. For example, a timer can be used to ensure the fireplace turns off automatically after a set period, which is excellent for avoiding overheating and energy waste. The remote control facilitates effortless adjustments to both the flame intensity and heat output, ensuring the ambiance and warmth can be modified according to immediate needs and preferences.
How to operate Electric Built-in Insert
Electric built-in fireplace inserts are designed for ease of use and convenience, offering several user-friendly methods to control and enjoy their functionality. While the operation can vary slightly between different models and manufacturers, most electric fireplace inserts share common control features that ensure straightforward and enjoyable use. Here’s a guide to operating most standard electric built-in fireplace inserts.
- Remote Control
- On-Unit Display Controls
- Smartphone App
One of the most common and convenient ways to operate an electric fireplace insert is via a remote control. This allows you to adjust the settings of your fireplace from anywhere in the room, making it easy to change the temperature, flame intensity, and even the color of the flames in some models. Remote controls typically have buttons for turning the fireplace on and off, adjusting the thermostat, and sometimes even setting a timer for automatic shutoff.
For times when the remote control isn’t handy, electric fireplace inserts generally feature a manual control panel located on the unit itself. This panel usually includes basic controls such as power on/off, heat settings, flame control, and sometimes a programmable timer. The display is typically intuitive and user-friendly, ensuring you can easily make adjustments directly on the fireplace.
Many new high-tech electric fireplace inserts come equipped with the capability to connect to a smartphone app. This feature represents the pinnacle of convenience in fireplace operation, allowing you to control your fireplace with your smartphone. With the app, users can turn the fireplace on or off, adjust settings, and even set schedules directly from their phone. This is particularly useful for pre-heating your home before you arrive or ensuring the fireplace is off after you’ve left.
