Frequently Asked Questions (Electric Fires)

General.

Electric fires.

Q. Are electric fires in your range noisy?

A. All electric fires that are currently offered on our online store are fan based. It means they are not completely silent. These fires use built-in fans to blow warm air into the room, which generates a slight noise during their operation. 

Q. What are the running costs of these appliances?

A. The running cost can be calculated using this formula: Running Cost = Energy Input x Your Electricity Supply Tariff. Your ‘Electricity Supply Tariff’ can be taken from a recent electricity bill, or by contacting your electricity supplier. For more information, please visit the section 'Cost of electric fireplaces' of our detailed guide to electric fireplaces.

Q. Are the fires easy to operate?

A. Yes: electric fires and suites have switches located directly on them. Some models also feature remote controls, others have both.

Q. How safe electric fires actually are?

A. Very safe. For your added safety all our electric fires are fitted with a thermal trip switch that monitors the temperature inside the appliance and senses any change if it becomes covered or displaced for any reason.
