With rising energy costs and concerns about our impact on the environment, it's never been more crucial to be aware of how we heat our homes. Electric fires provide instant heat while requiring minimal energy input. They can be put in easily, used outdoors or indoors and come with a variety of features.

The type of fire you select requires careful assessment. Gas and solid fuel fireplaces are perfect for homes with chimneys while balanced-flue models are a great option for those who do not have. Electric fireplaces are available for both and can be adapted to suit your requirements.

Check for the Btu (British Thermal Units) count when you choose your electric fireplace to determine how much heat will be generated. A higher Btu number indicates that your suite will be able to warm your space more quickly and effectively. Certain models also come with specific energy efficiency features like thermostats that let you monitor and adjust the heating levels.

You can also use the formula below to determine the cost of operating your suite on a regular basis. Calculate the cost of running the suite by multiplying pence per Kilowatt charged by your energy provider with the number of hours you intend to use the suite on a daily basis.

Make sure your electric fireplace is in a room that is well-ventilated to ensure its efficiency. This will allow the hot air and cold air to circulate more efficiently. It is also important to be aware of any particular conditions that may affect your heater, such as whether it is located in a drafty location or has doors and windows which open to temperatures outside.

When selecting an electric fire suite, it is also important to remember that you'll be able to select from a variety of styles and finishes. You can choose an electric fire suite that is modern like the Be Modern Flare Beadnell in Ice White, or a more traditional design such as the Elgin & Hall Pryzm Vardo with its stunning Black Nickel finish, there will be a perfect model that will fit your home.
