8kw stove working well. to regulate (in book no clarity as to whether push is open or closed re controls so trial and error. Ummm) but good once figured out. Looks great on 30 cm legs - perfect height. David
Lovely 8kw stove, great value for money, warmed the room brilliantly but the best of all is the huge screen to gaze at the flames. Get the 300mm extension legs to raise the stove , definately worth it. 5*
I feel like I should be in a home styling magazine, my fire looks amazing and was excellent value and is very easy to use. I was slightly shocked it arrived on a pallet though
Heats up really quickly and temperature easy to maintain for several pizzas. Fantastic service fro Glowing flames. Turned my order around and delivered in just a few days, ready for the weekend.
The versatile nature of this stove means you can use it for whatever works for you whether a wood burner or a bioethanol stove. As our chimney is being moved we're using this as a bioethanol stove and are surprised in the heat its emanating. A 1 litre bottle lasts around 3.5hrs on full heat and fills the room well. Very pleased with the purchase!
🔥 How much heat does an electric fireplace give off?
Most electric fireplaces produce between 1kW and 2kW of heat output, ideal for rooms up to 20m². That covers bedrooms, living rooms, and home offices. They’re best used as supplementary heating.
🔥 Can an electric fire heat a whole house?
No. Electric fires are zone heaters. They work best in individual rooms. Use them in key areas to reduce central heating use.
🔥 How long does it take to heat a room?
A 2kW electric fire can heat a standard room in 10 to 15 minutes. Fan-assisted models distribute warmth more quickly.
💸 Is it cheaper to run an electric fire or central heating?
Electric fires can be more cost-effective when heating a single room. Central heating is cheaper for full-home heating but can waste energy in unused spaces.
💸 Do electric fireplaces increase your electric bill?
Electric fires can be more cost-effective when heating a single room. Central heating is cheaper for full-home heating but can waste energy in unused spaces.
💸 Are electric fires energy-efficient?
Yes. Electric fires are 100% efficient, converting all electricity into usable heat. Many include timers, thermostats, and eco settings.
🛠️ Can you plug an electric fireplace into a regular socket?
Yes. Most come with a standard 3-pin UK plug. Wall-mounted models may need cable concealment for a clean look.
🛠️ Are wall mounted electric fires safe?
Yes. They are designed with cool-touch glass, auto shut-off, and overheat protection.
🛠️ Can you leave an electric fire on overnight?
Not recommended. Use the timer feature or switch to flame-only mode for safe overnight ambience.
🏠 Do electric fireplaces look realistic?
Yes. Premium models use LED, holographic, or water vapour technology to replicate authentic flame visuals.
🏠 Can I install an electric fire in a traditional fireplace?
Yes. Inset electric fires or electric fireplace inserts are made for that purpose and offer a built-in look.
🏠 What’s the best electric fire for a small room?
Freestanding electric fires, compact inset models, or flat-wall fireplace suites are great for smaller spaces. Look for models with 1kW to 1.5kW heat output.
🏠 Are electric fires better than gas?
Electric fires are easier to install, safer, and require no maintenance. Gas fires may offer higher heat output, but they require annual servicing and fixed installation.
📐 How big a room will a 1500W fire heat?
A 1500W (1.5kW) electric fire heats rooms around 12–15m², such as a double bedroom or snug.
📐 What size electric fire do I need for a 20m² room?
A 2kW model is perfect for rooms up to 20m². Well-insulated spaces will retain heat better and maximise efficiency.
🛠️ Do Electric Fireplaces need ventilation?
No ventilation or chimney is required. Electric fires are emission-free, making them ideal for flats and rooms without flues or chimney.
