Pros of Having an Electric Fireplace

Here at Real Flame our fireplace installation in London stretches from the traditional log burning mantel pieces, to the sleek and minimalistic. The electric fireplace sits quite happily amongst our most popular installations, but what kinds do we offer, and what are their benefits?

 

It’s an adaptable design!

It doesn’t matter what house you’re living in, an electric fireplace adapts to suit your decor.

Imagine this: You live in an old, lavish house, all of the traditional decor has been kept intact apart from the inbuilt fireplace. You don’t want to use the beautiful stonework as another display case, candles and ornaments belong on shelves after all, you want to harness the full beauty of this centre-piece (without having to clean the chimney). An electric stove may work wonders for you, if not, then an electric fire with a fire grate can give your stunning sitting room or kitchen the finishing touches, perfect for those winter nights.

Perhaps, instead, you live in a penthouse apartment? There’s no place in this sleek, modern flat for a heavy, rustic fireplace and yet you feel like something is missing (you’d like your home to feel warm and inviting, after all) have you ever considered a wall mounted electric fire? Its minimalistic design won’t draw the attention away from your decor, yet the image of crackling flames will give your apartment that homely touch.

 

No need to clean out grills!

Whichever design you choose, you’re safe in the knowledge that there are no pesky grates to clean out, no flame marks scorching the stones black, and no threat of smoke damage to any surrounding fabrics. You won’t need to spend an hour giving your fireplace a thorough clean every week and (best of all) no messy chimney sweeping!

Cheap to run!

Compared to the gas and wood-burning fireplaces, a real flame electric fire needs no fuel and, as mentioned above, no cleaning fluids! There’s no need to splash out on a professional chimney sweep, and no needteenage girls with shopping bags and credit card to pay up for a maintenance service! So you get to keep your hard-earned cash in your pocket (and, at the end of the day, isn’t that what’s important?)

 

 

 

It can follow you wherever you go!

It’s always a pain moving house, especially when you have to leave certain items behind: your fridge/freezer, the dining room table too big for your new house (or flat)…and your fireplace. As electric fireplaces aren’t connected to your actual house, you’re able to unplug it, pick it up, and carry it out with you. This doesn’t just benefit moving house, so long as there’s a plug socket nearby, you can move your fire to any room you want. We told you they were adaptable!
