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

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

This CSA-certified model has various heat settings, an auto-shutoff function and is cool to the touch on its top. It does not have a tip-over shutoff, nor overheat protection.

Safety

Electric fireplaces that stand alone are among the safest methods to provide additional heat for homeowners. They do not release carbon monoxide or ignite flammable materials like wood-burning stoves. In addition, they do not emit harmful fumes and dust that can trigger asthma or exacerbate respiratory issues for people with chronic diseases like bronchitis or heart disease.

Electric fireplaces do away with the need for regular maintenance and cleaning because they don't burn wood or fuel, or generate smoke or ash. In fact, they don't produce any combustion byproducts that could create environmental hazards in the home, such as creosote or soot.

Instead of a real flame free standing fireplace indoor-standing electric fireplaces make use of what's referred to as "flame effects" to replicate the look of a fireplace. This technique involves mirrors and LED lights to create an authentic appearance. Some models also include water vapor in order to mimic the appearance of smoke.

Some models allow you to adjust the flame's heat and intensity by using the unit itself, which can be knobs or buttons. Certain models, such as "smart" models can be controlled with an app that you can download on your phone or through voice commands. Some models have an remote that allows you to control the fireplace from a distance.

Although electric fireplaces are generally safe, it is important to follow standard safety guidelines when using any heater within the home. Always keep these units a safe distance from flammable objects like curtains or blankets. Do not operate them near water and make sure they are not connected to extension cords or surge protection. In addition, it is important to disconnect the electric fireplaces when not in use and inspect them for damage or tripped safety features on a regular basis.

This CSA-certified electric fire place is a stylish and flexible piece of furniture that will add style to your living space. It comes with an adjustable remote control as well as five heat settings to suit your comfort. It also has a timer and overheat protection for safety. During our tests, we found it to be cool to the touch, and strong enough to stop tipping, even when the fire was burning.

Convenience

Contrary to traditional wood or gas fires, electric freestanding fires don't emit harmful gases into the air. Instead, they generate radiant heating that directly heats people and things in the room. They're less power-intensive and will not raise your electric bill in the same way. In addition, they don't emit smoke or other pollutants that can irritate your allergies or make your home smell like an open chimney.

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

The most important thing is that electric fires are safer for homes with children and pets. When burning wood or gas harmful fumes can be released when not properly used. Electric fires are cool to touch and do not release harmful fumes since there isn't a flame.

Electric fireplaces don't require a chimney or expensive flue systems. Simply plug the fireplace into a standard wall outlet and you're able to enjoy it. Additionally, many models we offer are made of sturdy, durable furniture that can withstand the rigors of everyday use. These models are CSA-certified and include overload protection and a tip-over shut-off feature to ensure security.

With a variety of aesthetic choices ranging from traditional to modern, our selection of free-standing electric fires can make any room feel more cozy. Replicate the appearance of a stove made of solid fuel by using a coal or log fuel bed, or go for a contemporary free standing electric fireplace design using colored pebble or crystal fuel bed. Some can even be built into the wall to make space.

Style

You should think about an electric freestanding flame effect electric fires fireplace if you're interested in the look of a fireplace in your home but are concerned about the maintenance and cost of a gas or wood fireplace. There are many styles of free-standing electric fireplaces, and you'll be able to find one that fits your style and needs.

These types of fireplaces are typically more compact than traditional fireplaces, and frequently appear like the look of a stylish space heater. They often come with a mantel and can be installed either on the wall with a flat surface or in the corner of a room. They utilize radiant, or infrared, heating to directly heat people and objects instead of moving warm air through the room. They are also energy efficient, consuming up to 90 percent less energy than a fireplace.

A freestanding electric fireplace can be a focal point in your home and can add to its appearance. Certain models have modern and contemporary appearance, while others have a more classic style that will fit in with most styles. Some models can even be recessed into the wall to give it a more polished appearance.

Electric fireplaces can also be incorporated into existing fireplaces. This is a great option for older homes that have a masonry fireplace you wish to update. These electric fire inserts can be a great way to upgrade an existing fireplace. They can be fitted with fuelbeds that are pebble or crystal and can be customized to fit in with your decor.

Another great feature of freestanding electric stove fire electric fireplaces is that there is no need for chimneys or vents. This makes them a safer and practical alternative to a real gas or wood fireplace, and they require no cleaning or smoky clean-up when used regularly.

If you are seeking a sleek and sophisticated option, consider this electric fireplace by Amantii. It features a European design with an angled viewing area that creates an "see-through" effect on three sides. The flames can be rearranged to suit the mood, and they can also be turned off to create a glowing electric effect that looks very real. The unit is CSA-certified, and comes with a safety stop as well as thermal overload protection. It is also sturdy and did not tip over during our laboratory tests.

Fuel bed

Free standing electric fireplaces are an excellent option for creating a warm and cozy ambience in your living space or guest bedroom. You can pick from a range of styles, including clear or coloured pebbles, logs and coal effects, and different colors. There are models that come with remote controls, which means you can switch on your fire at the touch of one button.

Wildland fuel characteristics are extremely fluctuating over time and across space, and can affect fire behavior and its impacts. A national fuels mapping system, known as the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was developed to help understand these complexities. FCCS reference fuelbeds have been compiled using published literature, photos of fuels and other data sets. They are preloaded in LANDFIRE's Fuels and Fire Tools (FFT) application.

FCCS fuel models are categorized into six categories: canopy, woody fuels, shrubs nonwoody fuels and litter-lichen-moss. The model calculates qualitative and quantitative parameters for each category that explain the relative capacity of the fuel bed to spread fire.

For instance the FB10 fuel model depicts a stand of mixed live herbaceous and timber understory fuels with a low load of dead vegetation, particularly 3-inch or greater limbwood. Crown fires and spotting are common in this type of fuel. They can range from a dynamic shift of herbaceous load to live and dead herbaceous fuels to a more constant transfer of fine dead fuels between grasses litter, and shrubs. Spread rate is moderately low and the length of the flame is moderate.

The Rothermel fuel structure model has been widely used in operational fire modeling to predict spread rates under quiet (no wind or slope) conditions. However, the model frequently underpredicts spread rate in fuel beds that are compressed and requires further investigation to better understand the connection between fuel structure and flame propagation. This is an important step as the Rothermel model's numerator (energy released by unburned fuel) and denominator (fuel bed surface area) are closely linked to fire spread. This is an important finding that could improve the model's performance.
