Add Warmth and Ambiance to Your Home With a Free Standing Electric Fire
A freestanding electric fire can add warmth and ambience to your home. Contrary to traditional fireplaces models don’t require ventilation and only require access to the power source.
This CSA-certified item has a variety of heat settings and an auto-shutoff feature. It’s also cool to the touch. It doesn’t have a tip-over shutdown or overheat protection.
Safety
Freestanding electric fireplaces are one of the most secure forms of heat supplemental to homeowners. Unlike wood-burning fireplaces and gas stoves, they don’t create an actual flame that could ignite explosive materials or release carbon monoxide into your home. They also don’t emit harmful fumes or dust which can cause respiratory problems in people with chronic illnesses like lung bronchitis or heart disease.
Electric fireplaces do away with the need for routine cleaning and maintenance as they do not burn wood or fuel, or generate smoke or ash. They do not produce harmful byproducts from combustion, such as creosote and soot, which can be dangerous to the environment in homes.
Instead of a real flame free standing log effect electric fires-standing electric fireplaces use what’s referred to as “flame effects” to replicate the appearance of a fire. This technique involves mirrors and LED lights to create motion and a lifelike appearance. Some models also contain water vapor in order to mimic the look of smoke.
Some models allow you to adjust the flame’s heat and intensity using controls on the unit itself, which can be either buttons or knobs. Others, like “smart” models can be controlled via an app on your smartphone or using voice commands. Some models even have an remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from an extended distance.
Electric fireplaces are generally safe. However it is crucial to follow the safety guidelines when using any heater in your home. Always keep these units in a safe distance from flammable objects like curtains, blankets and rugs. Avoid operating them near water, and make sure they are not connected to extension cords or surge protection. In addition, it is essential to disconnect electric fireplaces when they are not in use, and to check them for issues or tripped safety features on a regular basis.
If you’re looking for a versatile and fashionable piece of furniture to add style to your bedroom or living room look into this CSA-certified electric fireplace. It comes with an adjustable remote control as well as five different heat settings to meet your comfort. It has a timer, as well as overheat protection and a safety feature. In our tests, we found that it was cool to the touch and sturdy enough to resist tipping over, even with the fire on.
Convenience
In contrast to traditional wood or gas fires, free standing fireplaces electric-standing electric fires do not emit harmful gases into the air. They generate radiant heat, which directly heats the objects and people within the room. They’re less energy-intensive and won’t increase your electric bill as much. They don’t produce smoke or other pollutants, which can cause allergic reactions or cause your home to smell like a fireplace.
Electric fires are also easy to use. All you require to start one is a power source and you’re ready to go. You can control the heating and ‘flames’ via the fireplace’s switch or via remote control. Many Dimplex models offer smart heating and ‘flames’ technology that automatically adjusts settings to create the perfect temperature in your room.
Most importantly, though, electric fires are safer for homes with children and pets. When burning real gas or wood, there are dangerous fumes that can be released if the fire isn’t used correctly. However, since there’s no flame in an electric fire, the fire is cool to the touch and doesn’t release harmful gasses.
There’s no need to construct a chimney, hire an expert to install it, or purchase expensive flue systems for an electric fireplace. Plug the fireplace into any regular wall outlet to begin using it. A majority of our fireplaces are constructed from durable solid furniture that can withstand the rigours and wear of daily use. These models are CSA-certified, and come with overload protection as well as a tip over shut-off feature to ensure safety.
Our collection of freestanding electric fires offers a variety of aesthetic choices, ranging from contemporary to traditional. They can bring warmth and comfort to any room. Select a style that resembles an open-air fireplace that has coal, a log or pebble fuelbed. You can also choose more contemporary style with colored crystal fuel bed or a colored pebble fuelbed. Some can even be installed into walls to save space.
Style
Consider a freestanding electric fireplace if you’re looking to get 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 styles of free standing electric fireplaces to choose from, so finding one to meet your requirements and style is simple.
They are generally smaller than traditional fireplaces and usually look like elegant space heaters. They usually come with a mantel, and are often mounted on a wall or corner. Radiant, or infrared heating is used to warm objects and people directly instead of circulating heated air around the room. They are also energy efficient, consuming up to 90 percent less energy than a traditional fireplace.
A freestanding electric fireplace will make a statement in your living space and will enhance its design. Some models sport contemporary, modern electric fire freestanding looks while others have a classic design that can be incorporated with most design schemes. Some models can even be recessed into the wall to give it a more polished appearance.
Electric fireplaces can also be installed inside existing fireplaces. This is a great option for older homes that have a masonry fireplace that you wish to upgrade with more modern heating efficiency. Electric fire inserts are a great method to improve the look of your fireplace. Some have the option of a pebble or crystal fuel beds so that you can alter the appearance to fit your interior.
Another great feature of a freestanding electric fireplace is that there isn’t a need for vents or chimneys. They are a convenient and safe alternative to wood or gas fireplace.
If you are looking for an elegant and stylish option, consider this electric fireplace by Amantii.

Fuel bed
Free standing electric fires can be a great choice for creating a warm and cozy ambience in your living space or guest bedroom. You can choose from a range of styles, including transparent or colored pebbles, logs and coal effects, and different colors. There are models with remote controls, so you can switch on your fire with the push of one button.
Wildland fuel characteristics vary greatly in time and space, and can impact fire behaviour and impacts. Fuel Characteristic Classification System, a national system for mapping fuels designed to understand this complexity, was developed. FCCS reference fuelbeds have been compiled using published literature, photos of fuels and other data sets. They are preloaded into LANDFIRE’s Fuels and Fire Tools application (FFT).
The FCCS fuel models can be divided into six categories, including the canopy, shrubs and woody fuels. For each of these categories the model determines the number of quantitative and qualitative parameters that describe the relative capacity for fire to spread through the fuel bed.
The FB10 fuel type, for instance, represents a stand with a mixture of live herbaceous fuels as well as timber understory fuels, and the least amount of dead vegetation. It is mostly wood that is 3 inches or greater. Crown fire and spotting are typical in this type of fuel that differs from a fluid transfer of herbaceous load between dead and live herbaceous fuels to a steady transfer of dead fine fuels between grass, shrubs and litter. The spread rate is low-moderate, and flame length is moderate.
The Rothermel fuel model is extensively used to predict spread rates under conditions of quiescence (no wind or slope). The model underpredicts the spread rate of compressed fuel beds. Further investigation is needed to better understand the relation between the fuel structure and the propagation of flames. This is an important step since the Rothermel model’s numerator (energy released by unburned fuel) and denominator (fuel bed surface area) are closely linked to the spread of fire. This is an important insight that could improve the performance of the model.
