Add Warmth and Ambiance to Your Home With a Free Standing Electric Fire A freestanding electric fire can provide warmth and ambiance to your home. They don't require ventilation and only require 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. However, it does not include a tip-over shutoff nor overheat protection. Safety Freestanding electric fireplaces are one of the safest types of heat that is available to homeowners. They do not release carbon monoxide or ignite flammable material like wood-burning stoves. They also don't release harmful fumes or dust which can cause respiratory problems for those suffering from chronic illnesses like lung bronchitis, heart disease, or. Electric fireplaces do not require for regular maintenance and cleaning because they don't burn wood or fuel, or generate smoke or ash. In fact, they do not produce byproducts of combustion that can cause environmental hazards within the home, such as creosote or soot. Free-standing electric fire places use “flame effects” instead of a real flame to create the illusion of flame. This technique makes use of LED lights and reflective mirrors to give an authentic appearance and motion. Some models contain water vapor in order to simulate smoke. Some models allow you to alter the flame and heat intensity using controls on the unit itself, which can be knobs or buttons. Certain models, such as “smart” ones can be controlled using an app that you can download on your phone or through voice commands. Certain models have an remote that allows you to control the fireplace from a distance. While electric fireplaces are generally safe, it's important to follow standard safety guidelines when using any heater in the home. Keep these units away from any flammable objects such as blankets, curtains and carpets. Avoid operating them near moisture and make sure that they are not connected to extension cords or surge protectors. It is also essential to disconnect the electric fireplaces whenever they are not in use and to regularly check for any damage. If freestanding fires seeking a flexible and fashionable piece of furniture that will enhance your bedroom or living room look into this CSA-certified electric fireplace. It includes a remote and five different heat settings for your comfort. It has a timer, and also an overheat protection and an overheat protection feature. In our tests we discovered that it was cool to the touch and durable enough to resist tipping over, even with the fire on. Convenience Free standing electric fires do not emit harmful gases like traditional gas or wood fires. Instead, they generate radiant heating that directly warms the surrounding room. They're not as power-intensive and will not raise your electricity bill in the same way. They also don't produce smoke or other pollutants which can irritate your allergies or make your home smell like the smell of a chimney. Electric fires are also easy to use. All you need is an outlet to power the fire to start. You can control heating and “flames” via the switch on your fireplace or through a remote. Many Dimplex models feature smart heating and “flames” technology that automatically adjusts the settings to achieve the perfect room temperature. Most importantly, though, electric fires are safer for homes with children or pets. When burning real gas or wood there are harmful fumes that could be released if the fire isn't used correctly. However, since there's no flame present with an electric fire, the flame is cool to touch and doesn't emit any harmful fumes. Electric fireplaces do not require a chimney or expensive flue systems. It's as simple as plugging the fireplace into an outlet on the wall and you're all set to enjoy it. A majority of our fireplaces are built from robust sturdy furniture that is able to stand up to the wear and tear of daily use. They are CSA-certified and include overload protection as well as a tip over shutdown feature for security. With a variety of aesthetic options ranging from traditional to modern our collection of free-standing electric fires can make any space feel cozier. Create the appearance of a stove made of solid fuel by using a coal or log fuel bed, or opt for a modern design with colored pebble or crystal fuel bed. We have even got ones that can be built into the wall to conserve floor space. Style Consider a freestanding electric fireplace if you're looking to get the look of a fire in your home, but are worried about the cost and maintenance of a wood or gas fireplace. There are a variety of types of freestanding electric fireplaces to choose from and choosing one that will suit your needs and decor is easy. These types of fireplaces are typically smaller than traditional fireplaces and usually appear like the look of a stylish space heater. They usually come with a mantel, and are often mounted on a wall or a corner. Infrared or radiant heating is used to warm objects and people directly rather than circulating heated air around the room. They are also energy efficient, consuming up to 90% less electricity than a traditional fireplace. A freestanding electric fire can enhance the style of your living space. Some models have a more modern and contemporary appearance, while others are classic design that will be a good fit with all styles. Some models can even be recessed into walls to give it a more elegant appearance. Electric fireplaces can also be incorporated into existing fireplaces. This is a great choice for older homes where you have an existing masonry fireplace which you would like to modernize with a more efficient heating technology. Electric fire inserts can be a great solution to upgrade an existing fireplace. They can be fitted with fuelbeds made of pebble or crystal so you can customize it to fit in with your decor. A freestanding electric fireplace does not require vents or chimneys. They are a convenient and safe alternative to a wood or gas fireplace. This electric fireplace by Amantii is a fantastic choice for those looking for something sleek and sophisticated. It has a distinctly European style and features an encased glass viewing area with an almost'see-thru' effect on three sides. The flames can be adjusted to match the mood, and they can be turned off to create a glowing electric effect that is very realistic. This unit is CSA-certified and comes with an emergency stop and thermal overload protection. It is also sturdy and didn't tip over easily during our laboratory tests. Fuel bed Whether you're looking to add a cosy feature fire to your living area or create a cozy ambience in your guest bedroom Free standing electric fires are a great option. You can choose from a variety of designs, such as colored or clear pebbles, coal and log effects, and different colors. There are models that have remote controls so that you can turn on your fire with a touch of one button. Wildland fuel characteristics are extremely variable over time and space, and can affect fire behavior and its impacts. A national fuels mapping system, the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was developed to understand these complexities. FCCS reference fuelbeds have been created using published literature, photos of fuels and other data sets. They are loaded into LANDFIRE's Fuels and Fire Tools (FFT) application. The FCCS fuel models can be divided into six categories, including the canopy, shrubs and woody fuels. The model calculates quantitative and qualitative parameters for each category that explain the relative capacity of the fuel bed to spread fire. The FB10 fuel type, for instance, represents a stand with an assortment of live herbaceous fuels and 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. Spread rate is low-moderate and the length of the flame is moderate. The Rothermel fuel structure model has been widely used in operational fire modeling to predict spread rates in the quiescent (no wind or slope) conditions. The model underestimates the spread rate of compressed fuel beds. Further research is required to better understand the relationship between the structure of the fuel and flame propagation. This is a crucial step since the Rothermel model's numerator (energy released from unburned fuel) and denominator (fuel bed surface area) are strongly related to the spread of fire. This is an important finding that could improve the model's performance.
