Modern electric fireplaces are the right solution if you want to give your home a unique and tremendously fashionable style. Electric wall mounted fires are suitable for small houses. They are ideal for small rooms to create a comfortable and hot area.

In huge rooms, they are not the best option. As they would take a little longer to heat, but this does not mean it is not possible to use them. The main types and models combine different designs and styles, and fall in two main categories:

• 
  Wall Mounted Electric Fires
can be hung on the walls like a painting. It’s the ideal solution when you have reduced space. At the same time you want to insert an appealing decorative element in your living room.

• 
  Electric Free Standing Fire
  can be placed in the middle of the room. So that the flame is reflected on all four walls.

Reduced energy consumption allows an electric fireplace to be chosen as a functional solution for heating your home. Or to be integrated with a second central heating source. To give a touch of elegance or increase the heat propagation in the other closed, secluded rooms of your flat.

Electric fireplaces are different in terms of design and functionality: some of them feature a flickering flame, optical fibres or special lights in the internal part of the system. The main inconvenience is that as fast as they heat the environment, after switching off they are in no way able to maintain the heat in the room.

The mobility of an electric fireplace is another key feature. It is giving you the possibility to move them in several places, thanks to their variable and customisable dimensions. This also means you’ll have a heating system that to use in domestic and holiday situations.

Choosing the electric fireplace that best suits your needs and fits your space well is not difficult. In our product gallery you can find different models, from small to large size: some of them also modular and customizable, can be hung or installed as recessed fireplaces. All this has a strong influence on the aesthetic characteristics of your electric fireplace, so the choice between two or more different models depends exclusively on your different furnishing needs.

Besides aesthetics, there are some additional features that are worth considering before buying your modern electric fireplace. To make a smart investment and have a product capable of satisfying all kinds of needs. As far as the accessory features are concerned, we can identify them:

Ionizer

As an effective alternative to an air purifier, the ionizer can represent an added value for your electric fireplace, as it is universally recognized as an effective solution in improving the air in our environments, especially when used in large cities with high levels of pollution. It is in fact scientifically proven that negative ions have a beneficial effect on our health: they are electric charges that act as a "magnet" to the numerous impurities present in the air we breathe - the so-called suspended particles - increasing its purity.

Realistic Flame Effect

A high-quality LED fire place should offer a lifelike flame simulation using LED technology or projection systems. Adjustable LED flame brightness and color options enhance the visual appeal and mood.

Thermostat

The thermostat, in electric fireplaces, consists of a simple component with a switch regulating the closed-open function (on-off); this function is controlled and automatically activated following a certain temperature variation of an element inside the same switch is detected. In other words, each time the temperature reaches the desired level, the thermostat is set to "off"; as soon as the temperature falls below a certain preset limit, it is set to "on".

In general, almost all electric fireplaces are equipped with simple and intuitive controls, to turn on the appliance in a very short time, to set the desired temperature in the room at any time and to adjust the intensity of the preferred flame effect. In particular, as far as controls for electric fireplaces are concerned, these can be essentially of three types:

• manual controls


• remote control


• touch control

The manual controls for electric fireplaces are the most widespread, simplest and present on practically all electric fireplaces: they are practical buttons allowing to turn on the heating elements and regulate the flame effect of the product, almost always independently of each other.

Most of the electric fireplaces you can find on Klarstein are also equipped with a remote control. It is practical and functional and allows the desired heating level. The intensity of the flame effect to be controlled in the same way.

Finally, some high-end models include an innovative, aesthetically advanced system of touch controls, installed directly on their front protective glass. Simply touch the panel on the electric fireplace to have total control over the flame, the light intensity, the heating and the ionizer, when available.

Some electric fireplaces offer extended functionalities that differentiate them from other models. The timer, for example, is one of these functions. Allowing to set the automatic switching on and off of the device. So that you can program its operation as you wish.

Freestanding models often come equipped with an anti-lift-off safety system. In case the fireplace accidentally fall to the ground. It will stop working, resuming its regular operation once it is lifted and put back in place.

These devices can offer many visual effects. For Example light effects and coloured LED lighting and integrate elements making them look like traditional fireplaces. For example, water vapour emission to recreate the smoke generated by wood combustion.

Another element that makes electric fireplace suites extremely practical to use is the remote control. It allows you to adjust the settings of the device remotely. So that you can enjoy the warmth and operate the device sitting comfortably on your sofa. The remote control generally controls the heat and power settings and the lights and visual effects of your electric fireplace.
