Electric Stove Fires Electric fires can be an ideal choice for modern homes, because they don't require the use of a chimney or flue. They require only electricity. This makes them perfect for a fireplace with a recess or for creating a media wall. Electric fires are more cost-effective than gas stoves which require the installation of a chimney and must be installed by an experienced professional.

Electric stove fires can be erected on the wall or within an existing fireplace that is no longer used. They are operated by plugging them into an socket.

When you light a wood burning fire in an open fireplace combustion by-products like creosote can build up and damage the chimney's interior. Over time, this may cause the bricks and mortar to corrode, creating cracks in the chimney's walls and smoke leaking into your home or neighbouring rooms. To avoid this it is recommended to have a chimney lined a high quality flue liner. This is something that can be done by a professional and is vital to maintaining the safety of your fireplace. Another alternative for those who want a real log fire in their home, but don't have a chimney is a stove that has a gas flue. These innovative fires come with a catalytic convertor which transforms harmful gases into harmless ones. They only require a gas supply. The twin wall flue can be used for wood-burning stoves that do not have chimneys. It is made up of stainless steel pipes that can be run both ways, either externally or internally, and carry the smoke away to be blown out into the outside air. These systems are relatively inexpensive however you will have to pay for labor to set them up and they must be kept at a minimum of 425mm away from any flammable materials.

These sophisticated systems let you adjust the brightness of the flame effects, from a subtle glow to a bright and vibrant flame that can be used for lighting moods or as a centrepiece. Most models also offer the option to switch off the heat and use flame effects for a cosy ambience and to cut down on energy costs. This feature is great for those who love the aesthetics and ambience of a fireplace, but don't have to be warm all the time. Some models are made of cast iron or steel, with a glass front.

An electric stove heater is the perfect option for any room of the house where a log fire is not suitable due to space restrictions or safety issues, or simply because you prefer the modern look of a sleek and versatile electric fire. Electric stove fires are popular with both traditional and contemporary homes because they offer a variety of options to suit any interior design scheme.
