Electric Stove Fires

Electric fires are an excellent alternative for modern homes since they don't require chimneys or flues, they simply need electricity. This makes them perfect for a fireplace with a recess or for creating a media wall.

Electric fires are more cost-effective than gas stoves that require a chimney to be installed and is installed by an expert.

There is no need to install a chimney or flue

Unlike gas fires and wood burners electric stove fires don't require an installation of a chimney. Electric stove fires can be erected on the wall or within an existing fireplace that has been unused. They can be operated by plugging them into an socket. This makes them an excellent choice for homes without an existing chimney or for those looking for an efficient method to heat your home without the maintenance and wood chopping that traditional fireplaces need.

When you burn wood in an open flame the combustion by-products such as creosote can build up within the chimney. Over time, this can cause the mortar and bricks to corrode, which can cause cracks in the chimney's walls. This can lead to smoke leaking into your home or neighbouring rooms. To prevent this from happening you must always have your chimney lined with an excellent flue liner. This can be installed by experts and is crucial to ensure the security of your fireplace.

Another option for those who want an authentic log fire in their home but do not have a chimney, is a gas flueless stove. These fires are outfitted with a catalytic converter that transforms harmful gases into harmless ones. They require only the supply of gas.

When it comes to cleaning first, you should switch off the power source to your stove, either by unplugging it or turning it off at the fuse box of your home. Let the stove cool completely before cleaning it. When the appliance is cold, you can then begin to clean dirt and dust from the grate, heat outlets as well as the inlets, and glass. A dry, clean cloth will typically suffice. If you own a fan heater, you'll have to clean the blower and this can be done using dry cloths or a vacuum cleaner that has an attachment for nozzles (if you have one). Also, you'll need to clean any flame-related parts. They are typically LED strips or halogens and mirrors that are connected to rods. They can also be cleaned with a dry cloth or a vacuum.

It is important to remember that you should not let the coils get wet. Immersing them in water could cause damage to the appliance. They plug into a particular kind of socket.

You can then clean the coils clean and re-attach any drip pans that you have removed.

The good news is that when you follow these steps, your electric stove fire will continue to function just as it should, and will remove all of the drooling, smudges and fingerprints which can be caused by regular use.
