Freestanding Log Effect Electric Fires

Electric log fires can be a fantastic alternative to a traditional fireplace. They provide the same look and appeal as a real wood fireplace, but without the dangers and hassles of real wood. The logs can be replaced by crystal, pebbles or other fuel bed to create a unique look.

They can be moved from room to room as they don't require an air vent or chimney and they do not produce an ignition source, so they do not require clearance from combustible materials.

Adaptability

Electric fires are a great option for anyone looking to add a versatile and attractive fireplace to their home. They don't require the installation of a permanent fixture. They can be mounted on the wall, slotted into an existing hole in the wall, or utilized as a freestanding unit. Many of them can be operated by remote control or programmed using a timer. They're an excellent choice for those with small spaces or who rent their property.

The selection of electric log effect fires that we offer at Fires2U offers both contemporary and traditional styles with a variety of frame colors, fuel effects and light features available. We offer fires ranging from small, low-profile options suitable for flat to the wall installations through to 3-sided and front facing designs that are ideal for wall holes or inset fireplaces. Select the pebble or coal fuel bed to create a more traditional look or opt for a modern design with an acrylic flame effect and a range of glass colours, including a sandstone or black spacer surround.

If you're looking to manage usage, we also have several energy efficient models that could reduce your electricity bill. These models feature thermostatic controls that maintain a preset temperature and stop the fire when it reaches this level. This saves you money on your utility bills. We also have models that come with programmable timers to enable you to set your fire to turn on at a particular time and then shut off after a certain amount of time and avoids unnecessary use. Many of these fireplaces are also equipped with backlighting to create mood lighting for your home.

Installation flexibility

The design of electric fireplaces provides flexibility for installation that can be tailored to suit your space. If you choose one that resembles a log burner, for instance, you can put it on a mantel or put it in an alcove to achieve an aesthetically pleasing finish. Many models come with removable logs that you can change to match your decor. You can also alter the temperature settings and visual effects with a remote control, giving you ultimate convenience.

Similar to the wall-mounted electric fireplace options, such as the Celsi Ultiflame VR Elite and Evonic Halo 1500 XT, these fireplaces are designed to be recessed into walls to create a sleek minimalist appearance. They are ideal for rooms with limited space. They can be placed at eye level or lower to create a dramatic look that enhances a living room's design.

Another option is to install an electric fire that can be built into furniture pieces such as media consoles and gorgeous mantels. They can be installed in an existing chimney, which can solve problems with existing fireplaces. Or, they can be built into walls to give it a flush look. There are some available in compact designs, which are perfect for spaces where there is no room for a conventional fire.

Certain electric fires, like the Dimplex Optimyst or Optiflame Plus range, have built-in energy efficiency features that will save you money on your electricity bills. They monitor your heating use and prevent unnecessary heating output. Additionally, you can opt to set the heating to turn off or on at specific times by using a programmable timer.

A broad range of control options

Electric fires are an excellent alternative to traditional gas stoves and fireplaces since they don't require wood chopping chimney cleaning, or expensive installation. They also offer a wide selection of control options and are easy to operate. You can switch the flames on and off, adjust the brightness and choose from a variety of flame effects.

Some models even have doors that open which give you a clearer view of the flame and make them appear more real. They can be wall mounted or placed in an elegant or modern freestanding electric fire log-effect surround, based on your preference. Electric fireplaces don't require chimneys and can be placed anywhere and in any new construction, flats, or houses without chimneys.

A lot of electric fireplaces are controlled via a remote. You can adjust the flame effect, timer settings, and the light. You can also check your room's temperature. This is a great option when you want to alter the mood in your room and take in the flickering fires and the warmth of the electric fire without having to leave the sofa.

With a range of options, an electric fire can be a captivating focal point in your home. Some models have 3D flames that give the illusion of depth and height. They can also be various colours ranging from soothing blues and purples.

The majority of the electric fires that we have available can be used as a freestanding installation, whereas others can be fitted into a recess or an existing masonry chimney breast. When selecting an electric fire it is essential to verify the wattage of the model since this will impact the energy output and heat consumption. We recommend that you also look at the heat settings. These allow you to regulate the flame effect as well as the heat with the click of the button.

3D flames

Electric fires with 3D flame effects utilize patent-pending LED technology to create a look that is incredibly real. The effect is easily manipulated by layers of effects and projected images.

Some models include the option of choosing the background to customize your appearance. You can choose from a range of hues that range from serene blues to vibrant purples. These contemporary designs are sure to delight your guests.

If you're looking for a less powerful heater you can select an option with a lower power output. The majority of electric fires have a heat output measured in kW. When deciding on a power rating, it is important to consider space size and the use. For instance bedrooms might require less power than a living room.

Alternatively, you can purchase an inset floor standing electric fireplace fireplace designed to be inserted in a fireplace opening that is standard. These models, like the Celsi Ultiflame VR Elite and Evonic Halo 1500 XT integrate into custom-built wall units that come with built-in TV and audio systems. This allows them blend seamlessly into the decor, creating a stunning focal point.

For added convenience, many of our electric Freestanding Outdoor Fireplace log effect fires come with remote controls that allow you control over both heat and 'flame' effects from your couch. Some of our electric log effect freestanding fires are fitted with Dimplex's room sensing thermostat technology. It continuously monitors the ambient temperature so that you always have the appropriate amount heating available. This can reduce energy consumption by removing unnecessary heating, and also eliminates the possibility of overheating. These features are available all year long and can help create a home a warm, cozy space that you'll love spending time in.

Energy efficiency

Electric fires don't emit harmful gases, which makes them a greener option over their wood- or gas-powered counterparts. There's no need to purchase fuel or have a chimney built, and they're also cheaper than traditional fireplaces in terms of running costs, due to the fact that they don't require expensive maintenance and service.

Our electric fireplaces are available in different sizes and kW ratings, which means you can select the amount of heat that your space requires. This allows you to reduce your electricity costs by ensuring that your home is not too hot or cold. Some models even come with an integrated thermostat that allows you to monitor and maintain the desired temperature and shut off the flame when the desired level is reached, helping you to reduce energy consumption.

You can also select from a wide range of optical illusions, which range from coal-effect and log beds to a more modern electric fire freestanding design with stones or other materials in place of logs. The lighting in these fires is made up of LEDs that give an authentic flame effect and some of them have led fireplace freestanding lights in the logs which flicker to give a striking light.

Electric fires can also provide warmth when used with radiators. The mesmerising fires are perfect to sit in their midst after a long, tiring day. They also can enhance your living area with their beautiful focal point. However, they're not designed to be the sole heating source for a large room and will only generate enough warmth for smaller areas.
