Buying a Freestanding Electric Fire
Freestanding electric fires add warmth and ambiance to any room without the hassle of a chimney. They're also very mobile and easy to move from room to room.
In our tests, heat was felt as far as 8 feet away. When choosing the best model for your home, you must consider several factors.
Realistic flames
It is important to find a freestanding fire that has realistic flame effects. There are a variety of options to achieve photorealistic flames, including the latest developments in LED technology. Modern models utilize video imaging devices instead of the older models that used a screen to show fake flames.
This fireplace looks like a real wood-burning fireplace and can be wall-mounted, without the requirement for a surround or chimney. MagikFlame is one brand that has taken this idea even more. The Trinity range utilizes holographic technology to create flame illusions in the front, middle and back of the fuel. Combine this with silver birch embers to create a fireplace that rivals even the most modern of architecture.
Dimplex Opti-Myst is another option. It makes use of advanced technology to recreate glowing embers, authentic crackling sounds and other effects. This is a great improvement over the older mechanical effects, but has room for improvement in terms of photorealism.
CAPO Fireside Fires are another alternative. They have a realistic-looking fuel bed that sparkles and glows with LED illumination. The use of LED illumination makes these fires energy efficient, which can reduce heating costs.
In addition to making sure that the flames appear as real as they can, it is important to consider the environment you live in when choosing a freestanding electric fire. Lighting overhead like lamps, ceiling fixtures, or windows can make the flames appear less real. If you must utilize overhead lighting, consider keeping it low and using a warmer colour to match your electric fireplace.
It's possible to locate an authentic-looking fire from different brands, but it's crucial to select one from a trusted manufacturer. This will guarantee that you're getting a high-quality product that is durable and safe to operate. The top brands will back their products with a warranty that can provide you with confidence when making an purchase. Additionally, they'll provide flexible payment plans and financing that can work with your credit card.

The majority of models include a remote control, which lets you operate the functions that are built into the fire. There are numerous remote controls that can be used to meet your requirements. These include on/off white electric fireplace controls and thermostatic remotes that control the fire based on the temperature of the room. Others also feature timers, which can shut down the unit after a pre-set period of time.
Certain models come with the option to connect to your smartphone through an app, which allows you to control and alter settings anywhere in the world. This is perfect for those who are unable to remember or are away from their home. The app will notify you of any possible malfunctions and inform you whether the appliance needs maintenance or repairs.
If you're having issues with your fireplace, you should first check that the remote is functioning properly by turning it on manually and making sure that the unit is turned to the On position. If not, the problem could be related to the receiver box or remote. If this is the case, ensure that it's connected properly and that there aren't any surge protectors or extensions are being used.
If this isn't the problem the blown fuse within the unit could be the reason. You'll need to refer to the owner's guide for more details if this is indeed the problem. If you are unable to resolve the problem, you will have to replace your fireplace.
