Add Warmth and Ambiance to Your Home With a Free Standing Electric Fire
A free-standing electric fireplace will provide warmth and ambiance to your home. Unlike traditional fireplaces, these units don't require ventilation and only need access to a power source.
This CSA-certified model features several temperatures as well as an auto-shutoff feature. It is cool to the touch on top. It does not feature an overheat or tip-over shutdown protection.
Safety
Electric fireplaces that stand alone are among the safest ways to provide additional warmth for homeowners. In contrast to gas and wood-burning stoves, they don't create an actual flame that could ignite explosive materials or release carbon monoxide into your home. They also do not release harmful dust and fumes that could trigger asthma or exacerbate respiratory problems in people suffering from chronic illnesses such as asthma or bronchitis.
Electric fireplaces also eliminate the necessity for regular cleaning and maintenance because there is no burning of fuel or wood or resulting smoke and ash. They don't produce harmful byproducts of combustion such as soot or creosote which could be a hazard in the home.
Instead of a real flame free-standing electric fireplaces use what are called "flame effects" to imitate the look of a fireplace. This method makes use of LED lights and reflective mirrors to create realistic appearance and movement. Some models include water vapor in order to create smoke.
Some models allow you to adjust the heat and flame intensity with controls on the unit itself, which can be knobs or buttons. Others, such as "smart" models can be controlled with an app on a smartphone or by voice commands. Certain models come with a remote that lets you to control the fireplace from a distance.
Electric fireplaces are generally safe. However it is crucial to follow the safety guidelines when using any heater in your home. Keep them away from flammable items such as curtains, blankets and rugs. Never operate them near water, and ensure that they are not connected to extension cords or surge protection. It is also essential to unplug the electric fireplaces when they are not in use and to regularly check for any damage.
If you're looking for a multi-functional and fashionable piece of furniture to add style to your living room or bedroom take a look at this CSA-certified electrical fireplace. It comes with a remote and five different heating settings to suit your ease. It also comes with an overheat alarm and a timer to ensure safety. During our testing, we found that it was cool to the touch and durable enough to withstand tipping over, even with the fire on.
Convenience
Free standing electric fires do not release harmful gases like traditional gas or wood fires. They produce radiant heating, which directly heats the people and objects in the room. They're less energy-intensive than other kinds of fireplaces, and won't cost your electricity bills as much. Additionally, they do not emit smoke or other pollutants that can irritate your allergies or make your home smell like a chimney.
Electric fires are also easy to use. All you require to start one is a power outlet and you're good to go. You can control the flames and heating via the fireplace's switch or with a remote control. Many Dimplex models feature smart heating and "flames" technology that automatically adjusts the settings to achieve the perfect room temperature.
Electric fires are also safer for homes that have pets and children. When burning real wood or gas, there are dangerous gasses that can be released if the fire isn't utilized correctly. But, since there's no flame in an electric fire, the flame is cool to touch and doesn't release harmful fumes.
There's also no need to construct an chimney, hire a professional installer or install expensive flue systems for an electric fireplace. Plug the fireplace into any regular wall outlet to begin using it. Additionally, many of our fireplaces are constructed of durable, sturdy furniture to withstand the rigours of daily use. They're CSA-certified and come with overload protection for safety as well as a tip-over shutoff feature as well as a timer that automatically shuts off the fire after a predetermined time.
With a variety of aesthetic choices ranging from traditional to modern and freestanding electric fires can make any room feel more comfortable. Select a design that resembles an open-air fireplace that has a log, coal or pebble fuelbed. Or go for more contemporary style with the option of a colored crystal fuel bed or coloured pebble fuelbed. We have even got some that can be built into the wall to save the floor space.
Style
Consider an electric freestanding fireplace if you're looking to get the look of a fireplace in your home but are worried about the cost and maintenance of a gas or wood fireplace. There are a variety of types of free-standing electric fireplaces, so you'll be able to find one that suits your decor and requirements.
They are generally smaller than traditional fireplaces and are often shaped like elegant space heaters. They typically come with a mantel and can be set up on the wall with a flat surface or in the corner of an area. They use radiant or infrared heating to directly heat objects and people rather than circulating warm air throughout the room. They are also more energy efficient than a traditional fire, consuming up to 90% less electricity.
A freestanding electric fire will add style to your living space. Certain models have contemporary, modern look while others are classic style that works with any style. There are even a few that can be recessed into the wall for an elegant look.
There are also stand alone electric fireplace designed to be integrated into existing fireplaces. This is a great option for older homes where you have a masonry fireplace that you wish to upgrade with a more efficient heating system. These fire inserts with electric heating are a great way to upgrade your fireplace. Some come with the option of a crystal or pebble fuel bed so that you can alter the look to match your interior.
Another advantage of a freestanding electric fireplace is that there isn't a need for chimneys or vents. They are a convenient and safe alternative to wood or gas fireplace.

Fuel bed
If you're looking to create an inviting feature fire to your living area or create a homely ambience in your guest bedroom Free standing electric fires are a great choice. With a selection of coal and log fuel beds, as well as coloured or clear pebble effects, you can pick the perfect style to suit your style. There are models that have remote controls, which means you can turn on your fire with the push of a button.
Wildland fuel characteristics are incredibly fluctuating over time and across space, and can affect fire behaviour and impacts. A national fuels mapping system, known as the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS), was designed to help understand these complexities. FCCS reference fuelbeds were compiled from published literature, the fuels photo series and other data sets. They are loaded into LANDFIRE's Fuels and Fire Tools application (FFT).
FCCS fuel models are classified into six categories: canopy, woody fuels and shrubs nonwoody fuels, and litter-lichen-moss. The model calculates quantitative and qualitative parameters for each category, which explain the relative capacity of the fuel bed to spread fire.
The FB10 fuel type, for example, represents a stand with a mixture of live herbaceous fuels as well as timber understory fuels, and an extremely low proportion of dead vegetation. This is typically limbwood of 3 inches or greater. Crown fire and spotting are common in this type of fuel that varies from a dynamic transfer of herbaceous load between live and dead herbaceous fuels to a steady transfer of dead fine fuels between grass, shrub and litter. Spread rate is moderate to low and flame length is moderate.
The Rothermel fuel structure model has been widely employed in the field of operational fire modeling to predict spread rates under the quiescent (no wind or slope) conditions. However, the model frequently does not accurately predict spread rates in compressed fuel beds and requires further research to better understand the relation between the structure of the fuel and fire propagation. This is an important step because the Rothermel model's numerator (energy released from fuel that is not burned) and denominator (fuel bed surface area) are closely linked to the spread of fire. This is an important insight which could help improve the model's performance.
