Electric Fireplaces

Q: Do modern electric fireplaces need to be vented?

All modern electric fireplaces should have some kind of ventilation system to prevent overheating and ensure safe operation. Some models come with built-in vents that connect directly to your home's air conditioning system or to a chimney flue pipe on top of your roof. Other models require the installation of a dedicated venting system by an HVAC contractor or plumber in Australia.

Q: Can you put a wall-mounted electric fireplace on any wall?

In Australia, you can put almost any wall-mounted electric fireplace on just about any wall in your home. All you'll need is moisture-resistant drywall behind it so that water vapour doesn't damage the surface where it's mounted.

An electric fireplace is a device that looks like a real wood-burning fireplace but uses electricity to create the illusion of fire and heat. They are a great way to add some ambience, warmth and character to your home without having to worry about the hassle of real fires. ArchiPro features a great range of electric fireplaces from trusted suppliers in Australia.

Types of electric fireplaces

Wall-mounted electric fireplace

These are a great way to add some warmth and ambience to your home. They are typically installed on the wall or even built into the wall as a more permanent fixture of the home.

Freestanding electric fireplace

A freestanding model is a standalone unit that can be placed anywhere in a room. They often resemble a traditional fireplace or wood-burning stove with an electrical flame for styling.

Electric fireplace inserts

Electric fireplace inserts seamlessly fit into existing wood-burning or gas fireplaces. They are easy to install, have ultra realistic flame displays, and provide a convenient way to convert a traditional fireplace into an electric one.

Flame effect heater

Flame effect heaters are a great option for those who want to get all of the benefits of an electric fireplace with a touch of drama and flair. They are probably the most realistic electric fireplaces in Australia, superbly mimicking the look of a real flame with a host of features including remote control, flexible heat settings, variable LED flame effects and more.

The advantages of high-quality electric fireplaces

High-quality electric fireplaces are made with the finest materials giving you a more robust, long-lasting solution. The latest models also tend to be more energy efficient than older ones as new technologies improve and emerge. High-quality options typically come with additional safety features, making them an appropriate choice for families in Australia with young children or pets. They are also easier to use with very low maintenance requirements.

How to choose an electric fireplace that’s right for you

There are a lot of electric fireplaces on the market in Australia, and it can be hard to know which one is right for you. Consider factors such as size, heat, and style. They come in many different sizes, so make sure you measure your space before deciding on a model. If you have a smaller space you may want a wall-mounted model to save you some floor space. Also, check the fireplace's heating capacity and be sure it will heat the room according to its size. Select a style that complements your decor, whether it's wall-mounted, freestanding, traditional, or modern. Last but not least, look for features like adjustable flame effects, thermostat control, and remote operation for convenience. Be sure to also buy matching fireplace tools & accessories at the same time for a cohesive look.

What are the other types of fireplaces?

There are several other types of fireplaces that you should at least take a look at before making your final decision. Bioethanol fireplaces , for example, are energy efficient and clean while gas fireplaces provide efficient and easily controllable heating. Wood fireplaces, on the other hand, have incredible ambience as a focal point as well as superb heat output. However, electric fireplaces offer a great range of technological features and if that appeals to you, then they might be the best bet.

Does an electric fireplace need to be hardwired?

No. Most modern electric fireplaces plug directly into a wall outlet and don't require any type of installation work or wiring expertise. There is, however, the option to remove the cord and hardwire the fireplace as most units are hardwired ready.
