Add Warmth and Ambiance to Your Home With a Free Standing Electric Fire
Bring warmth and ambience to your home by installing a free-standing electric fireplace. They do not require ventilation, and only require an electrical source.
This CSA-certified model features multiple temperatures, an auto-shutoff function and is cool to the touch on top. It doesn't have a tip-over shutdown or overheat protection.
Safety
Electric fireplaces that stand by themselves are among the safest methods to provide additional heat for homeowners. Contrary to wood-burning fireplaces and gas stoves, they don't create an actual flame that could ignite the flammable materials or release carbon monoxide into the home. In addition, they do not release harmful fumes and dust that can cause asthma or worsen respiratory issues for people with chronic illnesses such as asthma or bronchitis.
Electric fireplaces do not require for routine cleaning and maintenance as they do not burn fuel or wood, or generate smoke or ash. They do not produce harmful byproducts of combustion such as creosote and soot which could pose a hazard in the home.
Instead of a real flame, free-standing electric fireplaces employ what's known as "flame effects" to mimic the appearance of a fire. This method makes use of LED lights and reflective mirrors to create realistic appearance and movement. Some models incorporate water vapor in order to create smoke.
Certain models have controls that could be knobs or buttons. Others, such as "smart" models, can be controlled through an app on your smartphone or with voice commands. Some even have a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from an extended distance.
Electric fireplaces are generally safe. However it is essential to follow the safety guidelines when using any heater in your home. Keep these units at away from flammable objects like curtains or blankets. Avoid operating them near moisture and make sure that they are not plugged into extension cords or surge protectors. Additionally, it is essential to disconnect electric fireplaces when not in use and to check for any damages or malfunctions regularly.
If you're seeking a flexible and fashionable piece of furniture that will enhance your bedroom or living room look into this CSA-certified electric fireplace. It comes with a remote control as well as five different heat settings to meet your personal preferences. It also comes with a timer and an overheat protection to ensure safety.

Convenience
Free standing electric fires do not emit harmful gases as traditional wood or gas fires. Instead, they generate radiant heating that directly warms the people and objects in the room. They are less power-intensive and will not raise your electricity bill as much. They don't emit smoke or other pollutants which can cause allergic reactions or make your home smell like the smell of a fireplace.
Electric fires are also simple to use. You'll only require a power outlet to get started. You can control the heating and 'flames" by turning on your fireplace or through a remote. Many Dimplex models feature smart heating and "flames" technology that automatically adjusts the settings to achieve the perfect room temperature.
Electric fires are also safer for homes with pets or children. When burning real gas or wood, there are dangerous fumes that could be released if the fire isn't properly used. floor standing electric fire fireplacesandstove are cool to touch and do not emit harmful fumes since there is no flame.
There's also no need to build an chimney, hire an expert installer or install expensive flue systems that are fitted with an electric fireplace. Connect the fireplace to any regular wall outlet to begin using it. Many of our fireplaces are constructed of durable sturdy furniture that is able to stand up to the wear and tear of everyday use. They're CSA-certified, and come with overload protection for safety and a tip-over shutdown feature, as well as a timer which automatically shuts the fire off after a certain amount of time.
With a range of design options from modern to traditional and freestanding electric fires can make any space feel cozier. Replicate the appearance of a solid-fuel stove with a log or coal fuel bed, or opt for a contemporary design using a coloured pebble or crystal fuel bed. We even have ones that can be built into the wall to conserve floor space.
Style
If you like the appearance of a fireplace in your home but are concerned about the cost and maintenance requirements of a wood or gas burning fireplace, you should consider an electric freestanding fireplace. There are a variety of designs of freestanding electric fireplaces available, so finding one to suit your needs and decor is easy.
These units are usually much smaller than traditional fireplaces, and are often shaped like stylish space heaters. They typically come with a mantel and can be set up on the wall with a flat surface or in the corner of a room. They make use of radiant or infrared heating to directly heat objects and people rather than moving warm air through the room. They are also energy efficient, using up to 90% less electricity than a fireplace.
A freestanding electric fireplace will make a statement in your room and can enhance its design. Certain models have a modern, contemporary look while others feature a classic style that works with a variety of design styles. There are even a few that can be recessed into your wall for a more finished look.
Electric fireplaces can be also incorporated inside existing fireplaces. This is an excellent option for older homes that have a masonry fireplace you wish to update. These electric fire inserts can be a great solution to upgrade an existing fireplace. They can be fitted with fuelbeds made of pebble or crystal so you can customize it to match your decor.
A freestanding electric fireplace is not required to have chimneys or vents. This makes them a safer and practical alternative to a real wood or gas fireplace, and they need no maintenance or cleaning when used regularly.

You can choose from a variety of designs, including clear or coloured pebbles, logs and coal effects, and different colors. There are also models with remote control, so that you can sit back and switch your fire on at the pressing of a button.
The characteristics of wildland fuels vary across time and space and can impact fire behavior and effects. A national fuels mapping system, called the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS), was designed to capture these complex aspects. FCCS reference fuelbeds were created from published literature, fuels photo series and other data sets. They are preloaded into the LANDFIRE Fuels and Fire Tools application (FFT).
FCCS fuel models are organized into six categories: canopy, woody fuels, shrubs, nonwoody fuels, and litter-lichen-moss. For each of these categories the model identifies the number of qualitative and quantitative parameters that define the capacity of fire to spread throughout the fuel bed.
The FB10 fuel type, for instance is a stand that has an assortment of live herbaceous fuels and timber understory fuels, and a low amount of dead vegetation. This is typically the limbwood that is 3 inches or greater. Crown fires and spotting occur frequently in this type of fuel. They can range from a rapid shift of herbaceous loads to live and dead herbaceous fuels to a more consistent transfer of fine dead fuels between grasses, plants, and litter. The spread rate is moderate to low and the length of the flame is moderate.
The Rothermel fuel structure model has been widely used in operational fire modeling to predict spread rates under quiet (no wind or slope) conditions. The model underpredicts the spread rate of compressed fuel beds. Further investigation is needed to better understand the relation between the structure of the fuel and flame propagation. This is a significant step because the Rothermel model's numerator (energy released from fuel that is not burned) and denominator (fuel bed surface area) are strongly related to spread of fire. This is an important insight that can improve the performance of the model.
