In fact, many of our Solution Fires come complete with remote control access as well as the ability to switch between flame effects and heating with the push of a button.

The maintenance of wood fires is essential. You'll need to clean the ash dumping regularly and make sure the stove's vents are functioning correctly. Verify that the ash disposal flows smoothly and that there aren't any obstructions or creosote deposits inside. You should also regularly clean the ember bed to prevent a build-up of dust. You can employ a soft cloth to clean the embers or a vacuum cleaner attachment.

Similar to electric fires, electric fireplaces are also easy to maintain. You can wipe off any dust that has accumulated on the ember bed or on the mirrors using an easy, lint-free cloth. Depending on the level of dust in your home, you might also have to clean the air inlets to your fire from time to time. This can be accomplished by taking the glass off of your fire and opening the air intakes that are located on both sides. Clean the air inlets with dry cloths or the nozzle of your vacuum cleaner.

Electric fires are also fantastic because they only generate heat when they are turned on. This means you won't spend money heating the room prior to having to. Many Dimplex electric fireplaces also feature room-sensing technology that continuously monitors the room's temperature and adjusts the heat to remove uncomfortable and inefficient "room temperature fluctuations'.

Energy efficient

A free standing fireplace is an excellent choice for those who want an open fire but without the cost and hassle of building chimneys. It is easy to install and move from room to room. This is particularly useful when you need to change or move the style of your home. This kind of fireplace is an excellent option for those concerned about the environment. It produces very little pollution to the air and requires fossil fuels. Another advantage of a self-standing fireplace is that it doesn't have to be vented outside, which means that it is less likely to cause air quality issues.

In addition to their aesthetic appeal, free-standing electric fires are extremely economical in terms of purchase and operating costs. They are powered by electricity, unlike traditional fireplaces that use coal or gas. Gas fires can cost up to PS300 per year. Make sure you choose a model with an energy rating of A or higher to ensure you do not waste money.

One of the most important aspects in determining the amount an electric fireplace will cost to run is its size. A larger fire will use more power, which is why it's essential to choose the right size for your space. If you pick something that's too big, you will use up heating and electricity - not to mention, it may be more difficult to maintain.

There are several ways to lower the price of electric fires:

Only burn wood that has been seasoned. This will ensure that the fire is as efficient as possible and will last longer. You can also insulate your chimney to decrease the amount of energy used by your fireplace. Finally, make sure you turn off your fireplace when you aren't making use of it. Even turning it off for an hour will save money throughout the year.

EcoSmart Fire's bioethanol burners are ideal for modern free-standing fireplaces because they're an affordable heating option and can be used in a variety of rooms. This is particularly relevant for commercial spaces that have open floor plans. For example, a company called Flex Peninsula integrated an EcoSmart bioethanol burner into a modern pool pavilion to create an intense tension between water and fire. This allowed them to achieve their goal of integrating an additional workspace into a space that was otherwise open.
