Add Warmth and Ambiance to Your Home With a Free Standing Electric Fire

Bring warmth and ambiance to your home with a free-standing electric fireplace. Unlike traditional fireplaces, these units don't require ventilation and only need access to an electrical source.

The CSA-certified model comes with various temperature settings, an auto-shutoff function and is cool to the touch on top. However, it does not have a tip-over shutoff, nor overheat protection.

Safety

Free-standing electric fireplaces are among of the safest types of heat that is available to homeowners. They don't release carbon monoxide or ignite flammable material like wood-burning stoves. They also don't release harmful fumes or dust which can cause respiratory problems in people with chronic illnesses like lung bronchitis or heart disease.

Electric fireplaces also remove the need for regular maintenance and cleaning, as there is no burning of fuel or wood or resulting smoke and ash. They do not produce harmful byproducts from combustion, such as soot or creosote which could be dangerous to the environment in homes.

Free-standing electric fire pits use "flame effects" instead of a real flame to create the illusion of a flame. This technique involves mirrors and LED lights to create an authentic appearance. Some models incorporate water vapor to create smoke.

Certain models come with controls that can be knobs or buttons. Some models, like "smart" models can be controlled using an app on your phone or through voice commands. Some models have a remote that lets you to control the fireplace from a distance.

While electric fireplaces are generally safe, it is important to follow standard safety guidelines when using any heater in the home. Always keep them in a safe distance from flammable materials such as curtains, blankets and rugs. Never operate them near moisture and make sure they are not plugged into extension cords or surge protectors. In addition, it is important to unplug electric fireplaces when they are not in use, and to examine them for damages or malfunctions regularly.

This CSA-certified electric fireplace is a stylish and versatile piece of furniture that will enhance your living room. It has a remote control as well as five different heat settings to meet your preferences. It has a timer, as well as an overheat safety and a safety feature. In our tests we noticed that it was cool to the touch, and sturdy enough to withstand tipping over, even with the fire on.

Convenience

free standing fireplace standing electric fires do not emit harmful gases like traditional gas or wood fires. Instead, they generate radiant heating that directly warms the people and objects in the room. They are less energy-intensive and won't increase your electricity bill in the same way. In addition, they don't emit smoke or other harmful substances that can irritate your allergies or make your home smell like a chimney.

Electric fires are also easy to use. You only need an outlet to power the fire to start. You can control heating and "flames" from the switch on your fireplace or via remote. Many Dimplex models feature smart heating and "flames" technology that automatically adjusts the settings to create the perfect room temperature.

Electric fires are also safer for homes with children and pets. When burning wood or gas toxic fumes could be released when not used properly. But, since there's no flame with an electric fire, it is cool to the touch and doesn't release any harmful fumes.

There's also no need to build an chimney, hire an expert installer or install expensive flue systems with an electric fireplace. Simply plug the fireplace into an outlet in your wall and you're able to enjoy it. Many of our fireplaces are constructed of durable solid furniture that can stand up to the wear and tear of everyday use. They are CSA-certified and come with overload protection as well as a tip-over shutdown feature for safety.

With a range of aesthetic options from modern to traditional our collection of free-standing electric fires will make any space feel cozier. Replicate the appearance of a solid-fuel stove by using a coal or log fuel bed, or go for a contemporary style using a coloured pebble or crystal fuel bed. We have even got some that can be built into the wall to save the floor space.

Style

If you like the look of a fireplace in your home but are worried about the cost and maintenance requirements of a gas or wood burning fireplace, you should consider an electric freestanding fire. There are many designs of freestanding electric fireplaces, and you'll be able to find one that fits your style and requirements.

They are typically smaller than traditional fireplaces and usually look like stylish space heaters. They are often equipped with a mantel and are often mounted on a wall or corner. Infrared or radiant heating is used to heat objects and people directly, instead of circulating heated air around the room. They are also energy efficient, using up to 90 percent less energy than a real fireplace.

A freestanding electric fire will enhance the style of your living space. Certain models have an edgier contemporary free standing electric fireplace look, while others have a more traditional style that can fit in with most styles. Some models can even be recessed into walls to give it a more elegant appearance.

Electric fireplaces can also be installed inside existing fireplaces. This is a great option for older homes that have a masonry fireplace that you want to update with a more efficient heating technology. These electric fire inserts can be a great solution to upgrade an existing fireplace. They can be fitted with fuelbeds that are pebble or crystal so you can customize it to fit in with your decor.

Another benefit of a freestanding electric fireplace is the fact that there is no need for vents or chimneys. This makes them a safer and convenient alternative to a real gas or wood fireplace, and they need no cleaning or smoky cleanup when they are used frequently.

If you're looking for a sleek and sophisticated alternative, you should consider this electric free standing fires fireplace by Amantii. It is a European style with an angled viewing area that creates a "see-through" effect on three sides. The flames are adjustable to suit the mood, and they can be turned off for a glowing electric ember effect that is extremely real. This unit is CSA certified and comes with a thermal overload and safety stop. It is also sturdy and did not tip over during our laboratory tests.

Fuel bed

If you're looking for a cosy feature fire to your living area, or you want to create a homely atmosphere in your guest room free standing electric fireplaces are a great choice. You can choose from a wide range of styles, including transparent or colored pebbles, coal and log effects, and a variety of shades. There are models that have remote controls so that you can start your fire with a touch of an button.

Wildland fuel characteristics are highly varied over time and space, and influence potential fire behavior and effects. A national fuels mapping system, the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was created to understand these complexity. FCCS reference fuelbeds have been compiled using published literature, fuels photos and other data sets. They are preloaded into LANDFIRE’s Fuels and Fire Tools application (FFT).

FCCS fuel models are organized into six categories: canopy, woody fuels and shrubs nonwoody fuels and litter-lichen-moss. For each category the model identifies a number of qualitative and quantitative parameters that describe the relative capacity for fire to spread across the fuel bed.

For example for example, the FB10 fuel model represents a stand of mixed live herbaceous and timber understory fuels with a low level of dead vegetation, primarily 3 inches or greater limbwood. Crown fire and spotting are common in this type of fuel that differs from a fluid transfer of herbaceous load between dead and live herbaceous fuels, to a more steady transfer of dead fine fuels between shrubs, grass and litter. Spread rate is moderate to low and flame length is moderate.

The Rothermel fuel structure model is widely employed in the field of operational fire modeling to predict spread rates under quiescent (no wind or slope) conditions. The model underestimates the spread rate of compressed fuel beds. Further research is required to better understand the relation between the structure of the fuel and the propagation of flames. This is an important step, since the Rothermel model’s numerator (energy released from unburned fuel) and denominator(fuel bed surface area) are both strongly linked to the spread of fire. This is an important insight which could help enhance the performance of the model.
