It is more crucial than ever to consider how you can heat your home. With rising energy costs and a growing concern for the environment it is crucial to be aware of the options available to us. Electric  fire suites  are a great solution that provide instant heat with minimal energy input. These suites are easy to install, and can be used outdoors or indoors* and have a wide range of features.

The type of fire you pick needs careful consideration. Solid and gas fuel fires are great for homes that have a chimney, while balanced flue models are best for those who do not have one. Electric fireplaces can be fitted to both and offer different heat output and flame effect options, based on your needs.

Check for the Btu (British Thermal Units) count when choosing your electric fireplace to determine the amount of heat will be produced. A higher Btu count indicates that the unit will be able to heat your space faster and more efficiently. Certain models also come with special energy efficiency technology like thermostats that let you control and adjust the temperature levels.

You can also use the simple formula below to estimate the cost of running your suite on a regular basis. To calculate this, determine the amount your energy provider charges for electricity in pence per kilowatt, and then multiply that by the amount of time you anticipate to use the suite on a daily basis.

Keep your electric fireplace in an area which is well ventilated to ensure its efficiency. This will allow the hot air and cold air to circulate better. You should also take into consideration any particular conditions that may affect your heater. For example if it is located in a drafty area or when the windows and doors are open to the outside temperature.

It is important to remember that there are many different styles and finishes available when choosing an electric fireplace suite.

Aesthetically pleasing

Modern electric fireplace suites will provide your home with a warm, inviting atmosphere without the costly and time-consuming installation that comes with gas or wood fireplaces. A fireplace suite comprises all the elements that you'd normally see in an inset fireplace including the hearth, surround and back panel, however instead of being powered by wood or gas, it operates using electricity.

Selecting the best type of fireplace suite is essential to achieving the perfect transformation in your living space. Conventional gas-fueled fires are great for homes with a chimney, while balanced flue models allow you to install the heating element regardless of whether or not your house has a flue.

The heat produced by these models isn't as strong as that of a real log fire but it still produces enough warmth to keep your living space warm. If you want to reduce your energy consumption, select an electric fire suite that has a low wattage.

You can calculate the amount of energy a fireplace suite will consume by multiplying the wattage of the fireplace by current electricity prices and the number of hours you expect to use it per day. You can then compare this to your energy provider's tariff in kWh to determine how much money you will save.

Include decorative elements to your electric fireplace to increase the ambiance of your living space. For instance, placing an enormous mirror above your fireplace can reflect light and visually expand your living space and a framed piece of art can create a focal point for your living room decor.

No Smoke or Creosote Emissions

While traditional wood burning fireplaces emits harmful gases like carbon monoxide, an electric suite does not.

This is an excellent feature for people with asthma or allergies who have trouble to breathe in real flames.

A lot of electronic suites are also equipped with remote controls and smart compatibility.
