Electric Fires
Electric fires are becoming increasingly popular, especially with new build properties that are so well insulated and don’t require lots of additional heat sources. The bonus of an electric fire is that you can have the flame effect without any heat, giving you that cosy factor visually and psychologically, without feeling overly hot. Electric fires require far less maintenance than gas or wood burning fires appliances, making them a perfect choice for people who want to heighten the level of comfort within a room, without having servicing and maintenance tasks to keep on top of. Based in Milton Keynes, we welcome you to book an appointment to visit our showroom and see the benefit of an Electric fire for yourself. Can’t get to us? No problem, we have a wide service area – just call or email us with your inquiry today.

The Benefits of Electric Fires
Another important benefit of electric fires is that some of the suites don’t require a chimney. This means they can be installed on a flat wall. Some of the more modern wide ‘letter box’ style fire do have some depth to them – ranging from 170mm to 300mm so these models do require a false chimney breast to be built around them. This can be built from just wood and plaster board ready to be skimmed over with plaster afterwards.
Sticking with the theme of convenience, electric fires are generally controlled by a remote control. The newer models are often LED lighting so cost wise it costs pennies when you have the light effect only – it’s only when you use the fan heater where the cost goes up in the running – 1kW or 2kW dependant on the heat you choose. Another new design with these electric models is that the have a choice of fuel bed options which come with the fire, whether you choose a log effect or a clear crystal effect you can choose which you like the look of or just change the fuel bed when you feel like it. The LED lighting on some of the the fuel bed nowadays has a choice of colours from orange, red through to green, pink, lilac if you choose – best thing is to come and see them in action.

Design Choices
In 2018 we extended our showroom to have a specific room dedicated to electric fires and stoves only. The reason being is that you’ll be comparing like for like electric effects, rather than in the other parts of our showroom where you may see a gas fire or wood burner along side an electric. The electric fires have improved over the years but we find that with these fires it’s all in the eye of the beholder as to what you think is the better flame effect.
Electric fires, like gas fires, come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. From contemporary inset fires to contemporary freestanding electric stoves, you’re bound to find something that suits your tastes and needs. This makes it the perfect place to come and browse some of the best electric fires on the market. At Burning Inspirations we have one of the largest displays locally according to what our many visitors tell us.
