Electric Fire Place Suite
Electric fire suites are available in a variety of styles and designs. They can be wall mounted or floor standing and can be placed in virtually every space.
The location of your electric fire suite will be determined by a number of factors. It must be near an electrical source to work.
1. Space
Electric fireplace suites are stylish, convenient alternative to traditional fireplaces. They include all the essential elements of a fireplace, including mantelpiece, a surround or frame, inset fire and chimney, but do not require flues. They are easy to set up and don't require complicated building work. They also don't produce harmful gasses, making them a safer choice for homes with children or pets.
Most electric units feature what's known as flame effects. They mimic the look of real flames by using LED lights and mirrors. Some models even include a water vapor system to create the illusion of smoke, creating an effect that's truly lifelike. They may not have the same ambiance of a real wood-burning fire, but your guests will be amazed at how realistic they look!
Electric suites can be installed directly on the wall without requiring an exhaust or chimney. This makes them a perfect option for condos, apartments and other spaces that lack options for venting or gas supplies.
A majority of these units come with built-in dimmers and can be controlled via remotes. This gives you the flexibility to adjust the brightness and set the temperature to suit your mood.
If you're planning to install a fireplace in the corner of your living room, consider replacing one sofa with a loveseat and two chairs to accommodate more people. This will help you save floor space while keeping your living space clean. To create a comfortable and practical arrangement, leave plenty of space between your furniture and the fireplace. You might also want to add a table between the chairs that can be used for reading or other pursuits.
2. Safety
There is a common misconception that fireplaces are hazardous but this isn't actually the case when safety measures are in place. In reality, electric fireplaces are much safer than their traditional counterparts since they don't release creosote and they do not increase the chance of a chimney fire.
However, like other appliances and electronic components in your home using an electric fireplace should be restricted to the proper amount of watts, and should not be used with extension cords. An extension cable could cause electrical overload and cause issues such as overheating or fire hazards.
Another important safety precaution is to keep a clear area around the fireplace, including surrounding walls. It should be free of combustible items like curtains, wood, textiles furniture polishes, aerosols. It's also an excellent idea to clean the fireplace regularly by following the manufacturer's recommended cleaning guidelines.
Wall-mounted electric fires must be securely fixed to a wall, and the wall must be sturdy and capable to support the weight of the appliance. In some instances, it could be necessary for you to consult with a professional.
It's also important to be familiar with the safety features built-in that are included in your package, including automatic shut-off and timers. Using these features can help to prevent fires or overheating, and can be a great way to save energy. Registering your fireplace with an electric company will allow you to receive prompt notifications when there is an recall, or other safety-related issues. These safety measures will ensure that you and your family members enjoy your new suites for many years to come.
3. Installation
Electric fire suites are simple to install and provide the convenience of not needing the use of a chimney or a flue. They are also energy-efficient and offer precise temperature control, without the loss of home ambiance. They are easy to maintain, and they don't require ash-cleaning. This makes them an excellent alternative to traditional fireplaces. To avoid accidents or damage it is crucial to adhere to the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines for installation.
The first step is to determine the best location for the fireplace suite. Be sure that the area is connected to a power outlet and is free from obstructions like furniture or curtains. It is also necessary to make sure that the room is large enough to accommodate the unit and its mounting bracket. Use a stud-finder to make sure the wall can hold the weight of the fireplace set.
Once the unit is found, it's time to set it up. The installation kit that is included with the majority of electric fireplaces comes with things like wall brackets as well as screws and other necessary items. Before you begin the installation process, it is important to carefully read the user's manual. This will allow you to understand the function of the product and the steps to follow to complete the task.
The majority of electric fireplaces have what is called flame effects, that are designed to resemble real flames. The effects are created with LED lights and reflective mirrors to create a realistic-looking flame. Water vapor can be added the effect to create a smoke look. Many people do a double take when they experience the effect for the first time as it looks real.
4. Upgrades
Modern electric fireplaces employ the combination of energy-efficient LED lighting and a unique flame image to create a realistic flame effect. The electric fire suites can be purchased with or without heating, so they can be used to create ambiance during warmer months. They are more adaptable than traditional wood or gas fires and can be used on walls that are flat to accommodate a variety of design styles.
Unlike wood burning fireplaces, electric fires don't emit harmful gases into the air.
