Electric wall fireplace

In the modern world, a fireplace is no less popular than in the Middle Ages. But now you can see the classic stone fireplace not everywhere; the classic wall was replaced by an electric wall fireplace. This modern building combines both the elements of decor and the main function of the fireplace - heating the room.

Electrofireplaces usually look like a plasma screen, inside which is a burner with a flame. The principle of operation of the wall structure is carried out by converting electricity into heat energy. To imitate the burning process, decorative logs and coals are placed on the bottom of the firebox. For greater likelihood, special lamps and a mirror are installed in the mini-fireplace, which together create a flame effect.

Technical characteristics of an electrofireplace directly depend on the producer and design of the mini-center. These include:

1. Size (depth, height, width).In this regard, fireplaces can be both small (10 cm / 30 cm / 50 cm) and large (40 cm / 200 cm / 250 cm).
2. Power. This characteristic ranges from 1 kW to 2.5 kW. The greater the power, the larger the area can be heated by electric heaters.
3. Material. Fireplace body is often thin, so it consists of glass, plastic or metal. But the front panel is always made of glass so that the flame can be clearly seen.

Wall-mounted electric fireplaces have 4 main features:

1. Heating. Usually the air is heated using a convector, but there is another option - a special heater. The second option is combined with a fan, which contributes to the rapid heating of the room. And the electronic thermostat is able to maintain the desired temperature.
2. Sound accompaniment. In order for the electronic fireplace to be more complete, a turntable is built into it that reproduces the sounds of glowing logs. In addition, you can use a special connector to install a flash drive with your favorite music.
3. Remote control. You can control the work of the wall fireplace from any location, so the modern device in the kit has a remote control. With its help such functions as speed and a stage of burning, brightness of light and an operating mode are regulated.High-tech devices are controlled via a smartphone.
4. Air purification system. The mini-fireplace in its design has a filter that removes from the air not only dust particles, but also harmful bacteria and various resins. Ultrasonic steam generator is able to moisten the air with steam, while creating the effect of smoke behind the front panel of the fireplace.
