Add Warmth and Ambiance to Your Home With a Free Standing Electric Fire You can add a touch of warmth and ambiance to your home with a free standing electric fire. These units do not require ventilation and require only an electrical source. This CSA-certified model has multiple temperature settings as well as an auto-shutoff feature. It is cool to the touch on top. It does not feature a tip-over shutdown or overheat protection. Safety Free-standing electric fireplaces are one of the safest types of heat supplemental to homeowners. Contrary to wood-burning fireplaces and gas stoves, they don't produce an actual flame that could ignite flammable materials or release carbon monoxide into your home. They also don't release harmful dust or fumes that can trigger respiratory problems in people with chronic illnesses such as lung bronchitis or heart disease. Electric fireplaces do away with the need for regular maintenance and cleaning as they do not burn wood or fuel, or generate smoke or ash. In fact, they do not produce combustion byproducts that could create environmental hazards in the home, like creosote or soot. Free-standing electric fire places employ “flame effects” instead of a real fire to create the illusion of flame. This method uses LED lighting and mirrors to create movement and an appearance that is realistic. Some models include water vapor to create smoke. Certain models have controls on the unit, which can be buttons or knobs. Others, such as “smart” models can be controlled with an app on your smartphone or by voice commands. Certain models come with a remote that allows you to control the fireplace from afar. Although electric fireplaces are generally safe, it's important to follow standard safety advice when using any heater within the home. Keep these units away from any flammable objects such as blankets, curtains, and rug. Do not operate them near water, and make sure they're not connected to extension cords or surge protection. It is also important to unplug the electric fireplaces when they are not being used and to regularly check for any damage. If you're looking for a versatile and stylish piece of furniture to add style to your living room or bedroom take a look at this CSA-certified electrical fireplace. It has a remote as well as five different settings for your comfort. It also has a timer and an overheat protection to ensure safety. In our testing we discovered that it was cool to the touch and durable enough to resist tipping over, even with the fire on. Convenience In contrast to traditional wood or gas fires, free-standing electric fires don't emit harmful gases into the air. Instead, they produce radiant heating that directly warms people and things in the room. This means they're less energy-intensive than other types of fireplaces and won't increase your electric bills in the same way. They don't produce smoke or other harmful substances, which can cause allergic reactions or cause your home to smell like an open fireplace. Another convenience of electric fires is their convenience. All you need to get started with one is a power outlet and you're set to go. You can control the heating and 'flames' by turning the fireplace's switch or through a remote control. Many Dimplex models feature smart heating and “flames” technology that automatically adjusts the settings to produce the ideal temperature in the room. Electric fires are also safer for homes that have pets and children. When burning real wood or gas, there are dangerous fumes that can be released if they're not used correctly. But, since there's no flame with an electric fire, the fire is cool to the 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 standard wall outlet to start using it. Moreover, many of our fireplaces are constructed of sturdy, durable furniture to withstand the rigours of daily use. They're CSA-certified and include overload protection to protect you, plus a tip-over shutoff feature as well as a timer that automatically shuts the fire off after a predetermined time. With a variety of aesthetic options from modern to traditional and freestanding electric fires will make any space feel more comfortable. Create the appearance of a stove made of solid fuel with a log or coal fuel bed, or go for a contemporary style using a coloured crystal or pebble fuel bed. Some can even be integrated into the wall to make space. Style If you are a fan of the look of a fireplace in your home, but are worried about the cost and maintenance commitments of a gas or wood burning fireplace, think about an electric freestanding fire. There are many different types of freestanding electric fireplaces and choosing one that will fit your preferences and decor is easy. They are generally smaller than traditional fireplaces, and usually look like elegant space heaters. They typically come with a mantel and can be placed on an unfinished wall or in the corner of a room. They use radiant or infrared heating to directly heat people and objects instead of circulating warm air throughout the room. They are also more efficient than a fire, using up 90 percent less electricity. A freestanding electric fire can improve the look of your room. Certain models have modern and contemporary appearance, while others have a more classic style that will fit in with most styles. There are even a few that can be built into your wall to give it an even more polished appearance. There are also electric fireplaces that are designed to be integrated into existing fireplaces. This is an excellent option for older homes with a masonry fireplace you wish to upgrade. Electric fire inserts are a great option to improve the look of your fireplace. Some come with a crystal or pebble fuelbed which allows you to customize it to match your decor. A freestanding electric fireplace doesn't require vents or chimneys. They are a practical and safe alternative to a gas or wood fireplace. If you're seeking an elegant and stylish option, look into this electric fireplace by Amantii. It has a distinctly European style and features a beveled glass viewing space with a look that is almost'see-through' on three sides. The flames can be adjusted to suit the mood, and they can be turned off to create a glowing electrical effect that's very realistic. This unit is CSA-certified and has a safety stop and thermal overload protection. It is also durable and didn't fall over during our laboratory tests. Fuel bed If you're looking for a warm feature fire to your living area or create a warm and inviting atmosphere in your guest room Free standing electric fires are a great option. You can choose from a range of designs, such as transparent or colored pebbles, log and coal effects, and different colors. There are models that have remote controls so that you can start your fire with the push of an button. Wildland fuel characteristics are highly variable over time and space, and can affect fire behavior and impacts. A national fuels mapping system, the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was developed to capture these complex aspects. FCCS reference fuelbeds have been created using published literature, photos of fuels and other data sets. They are preloaded into the LANDFIRE Fuels and Fire Tools application (FFT). The FCCS fuel models can be classified into six categories, which include the canopy, shrubs and woody fuels. 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 an assortment of live herbaceous fuels and timber understory fuels, and a low amount of dead vegetation. It is mostly wood that is 3 inches or more. Crown fires and spotting are typical in this fuel type. electric log effect fires freestanding Fireplaces And Stove vary from a dynamic shift of herbaceous load between live and dead herbaceous fuels to a more constant transfer of fine dead fuels between grasses, shrubs, and litter. Spread rate is low-moderate and flame length is moderate. The Rothermel fuel structure model is widely employed in the field of operational fire modeling to predict spread rates in the quiescent (no wind or slope) conditions. However, the model typically does not accurately predict spread rates in fuel beds that are compressed and requires further investigation to better understand the connection between fuel structure and flame propagation. This is a critical step, as the Rothermel model’s numerator (energy released by fuel that is not burned), and denominator(fuel bed surface area), are strongly related to the spread of fire. This is a crucial insight that could enhance the performance of the model.
