Why Choose a Wall Mounted Electric Fire? Wall mounted electric fires are stylish and a cost-effective option for supplemental heating. They come in a variety of styles and finishes that can complement any room. Some models offer LED lighting effects as well as multiple options for flame display. Some models have privacy glass that can be adjusted from opaque to transparent. Aesthetics If you're looking to add character and style to your home without the maintenance required by a real fireplace, a wall-mounted fireplace could be just what you need. A wide selection of models is available and a lot of them have a modern and contemporary design that can be adapted to any style of interior. They can be either placed on or in the wall to create an integrated, seamless appearance. Some can also be operated without or with heat, which makes them suitable for use all year round. The Dimplex Sierra linear fireplace is a popular choice. It is available in a variety of sizes to fit into any space. The sleek black frame is able to catch the flames beautifully. It's complemented by several decorative media packages for the ember bed, like white crystals or pebbles. Its LED color-changing display offers an amazing glow, and it can be used without or with the heating function. Its remote control allows you to adjust the settings from any place in the room. Most wall mounted electric fire places can generate some heat. This is usually done by using the space heating system which is able to blow hot air through a heating component. Certain wall mounted electric fireplaces don't produce any heat, but only offer visual flame effects. This is better for rooms with combustible material such as carpets or curtains. Some models can be put directly on the wall. Others must be installed into a specially-designed fireplace insert. This requires either cutting a hole in the wall and putting in a new mantel, or it may be possible to install the unit in a pre-existing fireplace insert. This is typically easier to install and requires less expertise. Be sure to install any electric fire with ample space and clearance around it, particularly when you plan to mount an electronic television over it. It is also important to make sure that the place where you'll mount it is free of any combustible material and that it will be secure for pets and children to get access to. Energy efficiency Wall-mounted electric fires are a modern alternative to traditional gas fires, and feature a sleek design that is perfect for homes with limited floor space. Using up to 1500 watts to generate heat, they are an ideal complement to your central heating system, or can even be used as a stand-alone unit in rooms as large as 400 square feet. They are also very safe and come with many convenient safety features including an emergency fire stopper with a timer, as well as thermal overload protection. Contrary to gas fireplaces electric wall-mounted fire doesn't emit emissions or burn wood, which means that it is a lot more eco green. The majority of our electric fires come with a remote control that allows you to control the flame's brightness and set different lighting moods. Our most loved model, the R.W.FLAME provides a realistic flame with up to 12 flame colors as well as 5 brightness settings. It can be installed partially or fully recessed and can fit on almost every standard wall stud. Electric fires are energy efficient and can help you save money on your electric bills. You only pay for the kilowatts consumed by the electric fire. You can determine much your electricity provider charges per kilowatt by looking at your electricity bill or by contacting your supplier directly. To calculate the cost per day of running an electric fire simply multiply the number of kilowatts consumed by the cost per kilowatt charged by your electricity provider. The majority of electric fireplaces consume less than 1500 Watts per hour, which is equivalent of 7675 BTU/h. So, if you keep it on for 10 hours, you'll spend about $2.35 a day on electricity (assuming the heater is on). If you shut off the heater and use it to create an effect of flames, the cost of running it is only one cent per day. We recommend choosing an electric fireplace with a thermostat so that it will automatically switch off and on based on the temperature of your space. Convenience If you decide to go with a wall-mounted electric fire, you can add supplemental warmth to your home without sacrificing floor space or changing the layout of the room. The fireplaces can be wired in and activated at the push of one button, and most have multiple heating settings to meet your preferences. You can even turn the flame display off if you prefer to enjoy the visual pleasure of the fire alone. This recessed wall-mounted, electric fireplace is designed to blend seamlessly into your home's aesthetic. It gives you the warmth and ambience you desire without the hassle of maintaining a traditional fireplace. It features LED color-changing flames and two heat settings, and a no-heat mode that can be used all year round. The remote control is included to allow you to operate the unit from any room in your house. A wall-mounted electric fireplace is perfect for smaller homes that don't have the space to accommodate a traditional wood fireplace, because it doesn't need a chimney or mantel. It comes with a built in heat shield to prevent the glass front from getting too hot. It also helps protect the wall from damage or stains. When selecting a wall-mounted fire take note of the heater's capacity and the wattage. The more wattage you have is, the more powerful the heater and the faster it will heat your space. The wattage is also factored into the cost of operating your fireplace, as well as the amount of energy it uses per hour. You can make use of a spirit-level and a pencil to mark the area on your wall where you will install your electric fire, then using the power drill to create the holes. The majority of wall-mounted models come with a template with all the necessary markings for you to follow, so that you can be sure that you're drilling in the right spot. To decrease the chance of an accidental fire, it's essential to keep a safe distance between fire and any combustible material such as curtains, carpets or furniture. Keep children and pets away from the flame to avoid any injuries. Make sure the area is free of any debris so that your fire can function properly. Safety Wall mounted electric fireplaces aren't only stylish but also very useful and safe. They don't require a flue, and are therefore less flammable than traditional chimney fireplaces. They also typically come with a safety guard to stop pets or children from reaching the flames and heater. They are a good option for families with small children because they are positioned at an elevation of between four and five feet. In addition to a safety screening electrical fires usually have an automatic shut off switch. This protects the appliance against electrical overload and to prevent overheating. If you're worried about the dangers of a fire, you can also purchase an electrical fireplace with an emergency stop button. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer for the installation and use of the fireplace to ensure your safety and that of your family. If you can, locate a location for the fireplace that is not too close to drapes or furniture. Install the fireplace at a minimum of 4 to 5 feet above the ground. If you've decided to purchase a wall-mounted fire, you should check whether the installation is suitable for your home. If the fire isn't rated for the power source in your home, it may overheat and pose a risk. Choose the fire with features that are in line with the decor of your home.
