Electric Fireplaces FAQ
What is an electric fireplace?
An electric fireplace is a fireplace that operates solely on electricity. The illusion of flames is generated by LED lights and mirrors, creating a realistic flame appearance.
Electric fires are straightforward to install and fit, requiring only electricity and minimal maintenance. Some electric fireplaces also include heating functionality and can be controlled remotely for added convenience.

Does an electric fireplace create heat?
Certain electric fireplaces do generate heat, but this feature varies from model to model, and not all electric fires come equipped with a fan heater.
The product description of each fireplace will specify whether it includes a fan heater or not, with the heater typically situated at the top or front of the unit.
Even if an electric fireplace features a heat fan, you can still enjoy the flames without activating the heat function.
What types of electric fireplaces are there?
