Electric Fireplace Suite

If you want to transform a blank wall into a stunning focal point with minimal effort, an electric fireplace suite is the ultimate solution. Unlike buying a separate fire and surround, a suite provides a fully coordinated unit—including the mantel, hearth, and electric fire—designed to fit together perfectly.

At Glowing Flames, our suites offer the luxury of a traditional fireplace without the mess, maintenance, or structural requirements of a real chimney. They are the ideal choice for modern flats, new-build homes, and rental properties where you want instant atmosphere and warmth.

Why Choose a Complete Electric Fireplace Suite?

• Zero Structural Work: Because these units are electric, they require no chimney or flue. Most models are "flat-to-wall" designs, meaning they can be installed against any flat surface without needing to cut into the wall.
• Plug-and-Play Convenience: Simply assemble the suite and plug it into a standard UK 13-amp socket. It is the fastest way to add a premium fireplace to your home.
• Year-Round Ambience: All of our suites feature an independent flame effect. You can enjoy the visual comfort of a glowing fire on a warm summer evening without turning on the heater.
• Safety First: With cool-touch glass and no naked flames or fumes, these suites are perfectly suited for households with young children and pets.

Exploring Electric Fireplace Suite Styles to Fit Your Home

Choosing the right suite depends on your available floor space and your interior design preferences:

• Freestanding Fireplace Suites: These create a classic, substantial look. They sit flush against the wall and provide a traditional mantelpiece—perfect for displaying photos or seasonal decorations.
• Wall-Mounted Suites: Ideal for compact rooms or minimalist interiors, these units are "hung" on the wall, keeping the floor area clear and creating a sleek, contemporary feel.
• Traditional vs. Modern Designs: Choose from clean-lined, neutral finishes for a Scandi-inspired look, or detailed wood-effect and stone-effect surrounds for a more classic, period-style home.

Buying Guide: Getting the Perfect Fit for your Electric Fireplace Suite

Sizing and Scale
Before purchasing, measure your wall carefully. A suite that is too small can look lost on a large wall, while one that is too wide can overwhelm a narrow room. Check the "Specifications" on each product page for exact width and depth measurements.

Heat Output and Control
Most of our suites deliver up to 2kW of heat, which is perfect for taking the chill off a living room. Look for models with Digital Thermostats and Remote Controls, allowing you to set your perfect temperature from the comfort of your sofa.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electric Fireplace Suites

Do I need a professional to install an electric fireplace suite?
In most cases, no. Most freestanding suites are designed for straightforward DIY assembly and installation. However, for wall-mounted models, you should ensure the wall is capable of supporting the weight and that the fixings are secure.

Are electric fireplace suites expensive to run?
Running the LED flame effect alone is incredibly economical, usually costing less than 1p per hour. When the heater is active, it is comparable to a standard electric radiator, but the built-in energy-saving features (like open-window detection) help keep costs down.

Can I put a TV above an electric fireplace suite?
Yes. Since the heat is usually blown out of the front or bottom of the unit, it is generally safe to mount a television above the mantel. However, we recommend checking the specific clearance instructions for your chosen model to ensure the heat flow doesn't affect the screen.

Is the surround made of real stone?
Our suites use a variety of high-quality materials, including MDF with realistic stone-effect finishes and premium wood veneers. This keeps the units lightweight enough for easy installation while maintaining a high-end, luxury look.

What maintenance is required for the Electric Fireplace Suite?
One of the best parts of an electric suite is the lack of maintenance. There are no chimneys to sweep and no ash to clean. A simple wipe with a lint-free cloth is all that is needed to keep the surround and glass looking pristine.
