Safety
FLAME&SHADE 24″ Electric Fireplace Stove With Remote fireplaces that stand alone are among the safest methods to provide additional heat for homeowners. Unlike wood-burning fireplaces and gas stoves, they don’t produce an actual flame that can ignite the flammable materials or release carbon monoxide into the home. They also don’t release harmful dust or fumes which can cause respiratory problems in people with chronic illnesses like heart disease or lung bronchitis.
Electric fireplaces also remove the requirement for regular cleaning and maintenance because there is no burning of fuel or wood or ash and smoke that results. In fact, they do not produce combustion byproducts that could cause environmental hazards in the home, such as creosote or soot.
Free-standing electric fire pits use “flame effects” instead of a real fire to create the illusion of flame. This method uses LED lighting and mirrors to create motion and a lifelike appearance. Some models also contain water vapor to simulate smoke’s appearance.
Certain models let you adjust the heat and flame intensity using controls on the unit itself, which could be knobs or buttons. Others, like “smart” models can be controlled with an app for smartphones or with voice commands. Some models even have an remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from an extended distance.
Although electric fireplaces are generally safe, it is always essential to follow the standard safety advice when using any heater within the home. Always keep them in a safe distance from any flammable material, such as curtains or blankets. Never operate them near moisture and make sure that they aren’t connected to extension cords or surge protectors. Additionally, it is important to unplug CO-Z 85cm Electric Fireplace Wall/Freestanding Remote-Controlled fireplaces when they are not in use, and to examine for any issues or tripped safety features on a regular basis.
If you’re looking for a versatile and fashionable piece of furniture that will enhance your bedroom or living room look into this CSA-certified electric fireplace. It comes with a remote control as well as five heat settings to suit your personal preferences. It also has a timer and overheat protection to ensure your safety. In our testing, we found that it was cool to the touch and sturdy enough to not tip over even with the fire on.
Convenience
Free standing electric fires do not emit harmful gases like traditional gas or wood fires. Instead, they generate radiant heating that directly warms people and things in the room. As a result, they’re less energy-intensive than the other kinds of fireplaces, and won’t cost your electric bills by as much. In addition, they don’t emit smoke or other pollutants that can trigger allergies or make your home smell like the smell of a chimney.
Electric fires are also simple to use. You only need an outlet for power to get going. You can control 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 settings to ensure the perfect temperature in your home.
Electric fires are also safer for homes with children and pets. When burning real wood or gas there are harmful fumes that can be released if they’re not utilized correctly. However, since there is no flame in an electric fire, it is cool to the touch and doesn’t emit harmful gasses.
Electric fireplaces do not require a chimney or costly flue systems. Simply plug the fireplace into an outlet on the wall and you’re ready to enjoy it. Furthermore, a lot of our fireplaces are constructed of durable, sturdy furniture to withstand the rigours of regular use. These models are CSA-certified and include overload protection and a tip-over shutdown feature for safety.
Our range of freestanding electric fireplaces gives an array of design options, from modern free standing electric fires to traditional. They can bring warmth and comfort to any space. Choose a design that mimics a solid-fuel fireplace with the log, coal or pebble fuelbed. Or go for more contemporary style with colored crystal fuel bed or coloured pebble fuelbed. We even have some that can be incorporated into the wall to save floor space.
Style
Consider an electric freestanding fireplace if you’re interested in the look of a fire in your home, but are worried about the maintenance and cost of a wood or gas fireplace. There are many different types of freestanding electric fireplaces to choose from, so finding one that will fit your preferences and decor is simple.
They are usually smaller than traditional fireplaces and often resemble an elegant space heater. They typically have a mantel and can be placed on a flat wall or in the corner of a room. Radiant heating, also known as infrared heating is used to heat objects and people directly rather than circulating heated air throughout the room. They are also energy efficient, consuming up to 90 percent less energy than a real fireplace.
A freestanding electric fireplace will be a focal point in your living space and will enhance its appearance. Some models have an edgier and contemporary appearance, while others have a more classic style that will be a good fit with all designs. There are some that can be built into your wall for an elegant appearance.
Electric fireplaces can be also incorporated inside existing fireplaces. This is a great choice for older homes that have a masonry fireplace you wish to upgrade. These electric fire inserts are a simple option to update your fireplace, and some have the option of crystal or pebble fuel beds so that you can customize the appearance to fit your style.
Another great feature of freestanding electric fireplaces is that there is no need for chimneys or vents. They are a convenient and safe alternative to a gas or wood fireplace.
This electric fireplace from Amantii is a fantastic choice for those looking for something modern and sleek.

The flames can be rearranged to suit the mood, and can be shut off to create a glowing electrical effect that is very realistic. The unit is CSA-certified, and comes with an emergency stop and thermal overload protection. It is also durable and didn’t fall over during our laboratory tests.
Fuel bed
Free standing electric fireplaces are an excellent option for creating an inviting atmosphere in your living space or guest bedroom. You can pick from a variety of designs, including colored or clear pebbles, coal and log effects, and a variety of colours. There are models with remote controls, which means you can turn on your fire with the push of an button.
Wildland fuel characteristics are extremely varied over time and space, and influence potential fire behaviour and effects. A national fuels mapping system, called the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS), was designed to help understand these complexity. FCCS reference fuelbeds were compiled from published literature, fuels photo series, and other data sets. They are preloaded into LandFIRE’s Fuels and Fire Tools (FFT) application.
FCCS fuel models are organized into six categories: canopy, shrubs, woody fuels nonwoody fuels, and litter-lichen-moss. For each category the model determines a number of quantitative and qualitative parameters that describe the capacity of fire to spread through the fuel bed.
For instance the FB10 fuel model depicts a stand of mixed live timber and herbaceous understory fuels that have a low level of dead vegetation, primarily 3-inch or greater limbwood. Crown fire and spotting are common in this type of fuel and is a different type of transfer of herbaceous load between live and dead herbaceous fuels to a steady transfer of dead fine fuels between shrubs, grass, and litter. The spread rate is low to moderate and the length of the flame is moderate.
The Rothermel fuel structure model is widely employed in the field of operational fire modeling to predict spread rates in quiescent (no wind or slope) conditions. However, the model typically underestimates the spread rate in fuel beds that are compressed and requires further research to better understand the relationship between the structure of the fuel and fire propagation. This is a crucial step as the Rothermel model’s numerator (energy released by unburned fuel) and denominator (fuel bed surface area) are both strongly linked to the spread of fire. This is a key insight that could improve model performance.
