Depending on how the electric fireplace is installed for the home, there are such models:

• Corner electric fireplaces - installed in the corner of the room.Their advantages are that they can heat not one, but two or three adjacent rooms.

• Electrofireplaces recessed into the wall - For these models will require a special fireplace portal. The advantage of the fireplace built into the wall is that it does not occupy the living space of the room.

• Wall and floor models of electric fireplaces - You can hang on the wall, as a picture or use as a bedside table under the TV.

• Electric fireplaces that stand alone - they do not need a special place. These are mobile devices, which, if desired, can be moved to another room.

Modern electric fireplaces for homes designed to maximize the naturalness of the flame. For this, a variety of ribbons, colored lamps, mirrors and even fans are used.

When thinking about purchasing an electric fireplace for the house, you should choose a model in which the most realistic is the image of the flame and hot coals. Manufacturers of electric fires have tried their best. You can choose a product equipped with a special device, transmitting the crackling of hot coals or equipped with a special flavor with a smell of a fire.

The principle of operation of the electric heater is simple: in the middle of its body there is a heating element. It can be both open and closed. The heating element is the wire, which is wound on a ceramic rod or spiral, placed in a quartz tube.The main disadvantage of such electric fireplaces is that they “dry” the air, that is, the humidity in the room is significantly reduced.

Modern electric fireplaces are equipped with special sensors that help maintain a certain temperature in the room, reducing the consumption of electrical energy. As soon as a certain room temperature is reached, the sensor turns off the heating function of the fireplace and turns it on again as soon as the temperature decreases slightly. This feature also helps protect the heating element itself from overheating.

Modern models are equipped with a special control panel. So you do not have to get up and toss the logs in the hearth. It is enough to press the button on the control panel and adjust the brightness of the fire or the temperature of the room heating.

You can install an electric fireplace yourself without any help with your own hands, but first make sure that there is an outlet in the place where it will be located.
