Add Warmth and Ambiance to Your Home With a Free Standing Electric Fire
Bring warmth and ambiance to your home with an electric fire that is freestanding. Unlike traditional fireplaces, these models don’t require ventilation and only need access to the power source.
The CSA-certified model comes with several heat settings as well as an auto-shutoff feature. It is cool to the touch on its top. It doesn’t have an overheat or tip-over shutdown protection.
Safety
Free-standing electric fireplaces are among of the safest forms of heat supplemental to homeowners. In contrast to gas and wood-burning stoves, they do not produce an actual flame that could ignite explosive materials or release carbon monoxide into the home. They also do not emit harmful fumes and dust that can cause asthma or worsen respiratory issues for people with chronic diseases like asthma or bronchitis.
Electric fireplaces also remove the necessity for regular maintenance and cleaning because there is no burning of wood or fuel or ash and smoke that results. They don’t produce harmful byproducts from combustion, like creosote or soot which could pose a hazard in the home.
Instead of a real flame free-standing electric fireplaces use what are called “flame effects” to imitate the appearance of a fire. This technique uses LED lights and reflective mirrors to create a realistic appearance and movement. Some models also contain water vapor to mimic the look of smoke.
Certain models let you alter the flame and heat intensity using controls on the unit itself, which could be either buttons or knobs. Others, such as “smart” models can be controlled via an app for smartphones or using voice commands. Certain models have a remote that allows you to control the fireplace from afar.
While electric fireplaces are generally safe, it is important to follow standard safety guidelines when using any heater within the home. Always keep them a safe distance from flammable objects like curtains or blankets. Do not operate them near water and make sure they are not connected to surge protectors or extension cords. It is also crucial to unplug the electric fireplaces when they are not being used and to inspect them regularly for any damage.
If you’re seeking a flexible and stylish piece of furniture that will enhance your living room or bedroom, consider this CSA-certified electric log Effect fires freestanding fireplace. It has a remote as well as five different heat settings for your convenience. It also has a timer and overheat protection for security. In our tests we noticed that it was cool to the touch and durable enough to resist tipping over even with the flame on.
Convenience
Contrary to traditional wood or gas fires, free standing electric fires do not emit harmful gases into the air. Instead, they generate radiant heating that directly heats people and things in the room. This means they’re less energy-intensive than other types of fireplaces and won’t raise your electric bills as much. They don’t emit smoke or other harmful substances, which can trigger allergies or make your home smell like an open fireplace.
Electric fires are also easy to use. All you need to start one is a power outlet, and you’re ready to go. You can control the heating and ‘flames” via the switch on your fireplace, or by remote. Many Dimplex models come with intelligent heating and “flames” technology that adjusts settings to ensure the ideal temperature in your room.
The most important thing is that electric fires are safer for homes with children or pets. While burning real gas or wood, there are dangerous gasses that can be released if they’re not used correctly. However, since there’s no flame with an electric fire, the flame is cool to the touch and doesn’t release harmful fumes.
Electric fireplaces don’t require chimneys or costly flue systems. You simply plug the fireplace into a standard wall outlet and you’re able to enjoy it. Many of our fireplaces are constructed from durable sturdy furniture that is able to withstand the rigours and wear of everyday use. They’re CSA-certified and include overload protection for safety, plus a tip-over shutoff feature as well as a timer that automatically shuts off the fire after a set amount of time.
Our range of freestanding electric fires offers an array of design options, from modern to traditional. They can bring warmth and comfort to any space. Recreate the appearance of a stove made of solid fuel with a log or coal fuel bed, or go for a modern design with colored pebble or crystal fuel bed. Some are even built into the wall to save space.
Style
Consider a freestanding electric fireplace if you want the look of a fire in your home but are concerned about the maintenance and expense of a wood or gas fireplace. There are many types of free standing plug in electric fires-standing electric fireplaces so you can easily find one that fits your style and needs.
They are typically smaller than traditional fireplaces, and usually look like elegant space heaters. They are usually equipped with a mantel, and can be mounted on a wall or a corner. They utilize radiant, or infrared heating to directly heat people and objects instead of circulating warm air around the room. They are also energy efficient, consuming up to 90 percent less electricity than a fireplace.
A freestanding electric fireplace will improve the look of your living space. Certain models have modern contemporary look, while others are more classic style that will work with a variety of styles. Some models can even be recessed into walls to give it a more elegant appearance.
There are also electric fireplaces designed to be integrated inside your existing fireplace. This is an excellent option for older homes with an old masonry fireplace that you would like to upgrade. These electric fire inserts are a great option to improve the look of your fireplace. They can be fitted with fuelbeds that are pebble or crystal and can be customized to match your decor.
Another benefit of a freestanding electric fireplace is that there isn’t a need for vents or chimneys. They are a practical and safe alternative to a wood or gas fireplace.

Fuel bed
Free standing electric fires are a great choice for creating a cozy atmosphere in your living room or guest bedroom. With a selection of log and coal effect fuel beds, and coloured or clear pebble effects, you can select the right style that will complement your style. There are models that come with remote controls, so you can start your fire with a touch of one button.
Wildland fuel characteristics are incredibly varied over time and space, and can affect fire behavior and its effects. Fuel Characteristic Classification System, a national fuels mapping system designed to capture this complexity, was created. FCCS reference fuelbeds were compiled using published literature, fuels photo series, and other data sets. They are preloaded into LANDFIRE’s Fuels and Fire Tools application (FFT).
FCCS fuel models are organized into six categories: canopy woody fuels, shrubs, nonwoody fuels, and litter-lichen-moss. The model calculates qualitative and quantitative parameters for each category, which explain the relative capacity of the fuel bed to spread fire.
For instance, the FB10 fuel model is a stand of mixed live wood and herbaceous understory fuels, with a small level of dead vegetation, particularly 3 inches or greater limbwood. Crown fires and spotting are typical in this fuel type. They vary from a dynamic shift of herbaceous loads to live and dead herbaceous fuels, to a more steady transfer of fine dead fuels among grasses, shrubs, and litter. Spread rate is low to moderate and the length of the flame is moderate.
The Rothermel fuel model is extensively used to predict spread rates under conditions of quiescence (no wind, no slope). However, the model frequently underestimates the spread rate in compressed fuel beds and requires further investigation to better understand the relationship between the structure of the fuel and flame propagation. This is an important step, since the Rothermel model’s numerator (energy released by fuel that is not burned) and denominator(fuel bed surface area) are both strongly linked to the spread of fire. This is an important insight that can improve the performance of the model.
