What types of electric fireplaces are there?

Electric fireplaces come in a few main styles, each suited to different rooms, layouts, and needs. Whether you want something sleek and modern, built neatly into a wall, or easy to move and install, there’s an option that works.

Wall-mounted electric fireplaces

Wall-mounted electric fireplaces are a great choice if you want a modern look without taking up floor space. They’re fixed directly to the wall, making them ideal for living rooms, open-plan areas, or smaller spaces where every bit of room counts. With simple controls and adjustable heat, they add both warmth and visual interest without major installation work.

Built-in electric fireplaces

Built-in electric fireplaces are designed to sit flush within a wall or feature surround. They’re commonly used in media walls or bespoke fireplace builds, creating a clean, seamless finish. This option works well if you’re planning a larger room update and want the fireplace to feel like a natural part of the space rather than an add-on.

Freestanding electric fireplaces

Freestanding electric fireplaces offer flexibility and ease. They don’t require building work and can usually be plugged in and used straight away. This makes them a practical option for renters, flats, or anyone looking for a simple heating solution that can be moved or repositioned as needed.

Hybrid & premium display models

Hybrid and premium display electric fireplaces are designed for homes where the look of the fire matters just as much as the heat it gives off. They use advanced LED flame technology to create flame effects that look natural and lifelike, with multiple settings to suit different moods and times of day. These models are often chosen as a main feature in a room, combining strong visual impact with efficient, controllable heating.

Electric fireplace installation & safety assurance

Our electric fireplace installation service is carried out by registered installers with years of hands-on experience. Every installation is planned carefully, with safety checks carried out before, during, and after fitting. No shortcuts or guesswork. We follow current UK fire safety standards and manufacturer guidelines to make sure your fireplace works as it should and your warranty stays protected.

What our certified electric fireplace fitting service covers:

  • Safe electrical connections and power supply checks
  • Correct positioning for heat output and airflow
  • Secure fixing for wall-mounted and built-in electric fires
  • Compliance with manufacturer and safety requirements

Choosing professional installation means peace of mind – your electric fireplace is fitted safely, set up correctly, and ready to enjoy from day one.

How our electric fireplace service works

Our electric fireplace service is clear, supportive, and easy from start to finish. Whether you know exactly what you want or need help choosing the right option, our team is there to guide you at every stage.

Free consultation & space assessment

We look at your room size, layout, and how you want the space to feel. You’ll get clear advice on suitable modern electric fires, expected heat output, and design options that work for your living space. This is your chance to ask questions, compare ideas, and explore what’s possible before making any decisions.

Design and product recommendation

Once we understand your space, we recommend electric fires that fit your style and needs, whether that’s wall-mounted designs or built-in options for media walls. Our recommendations are based on how you use your room, not a one-size-fits-all approach. You’ll receive a straightforward quote, with no hidden extras.

Installation or supply-only option

You can choose full installation or a supply-only service. If you opt for installation, our qualified team fits your electric fire safely, making sure everything is set up correctly and ready to use. If you prefer supply-only, we’ll still provide advice and support so you feel confident with your setup.

Hybrid & premium display models

Our service doesn’t end once your fire is installed. Electric fires are low maintenance, but you’re still covered with manufacturer warranties and our own service guarantees. If you have questions later or need support, our team is easy to reach and happy to help.

Electric fireplace FAQs

Are electric fireplaces energy efficient?

Yes, modern electric fireplaces are energy efficient, converting almost all of the energy they use into heat for your home. They provide controllable, zone-based heating, allowing you to heat only the room you’re using. With no fuel waste, heat loss, or combustion, electric fireplaces offer an efficient way to add warmth without unnecessary energy use.

Can I install an electric fireplace myself?

Some freestanding or plug-in electric fireplaces can be installed without professional help. However, built-in electric fires, media wall installations, and bespoke designs should be professionally fitted. This ensures the fireplace is installed safely, works correctly, and meets manufacturer requirements for performance and warranty cover.

How much does electric fireplace installation cost?

The cost of electric fireplace installation depends on the type of fireplace, where it’s being fitted, and whether it’s wall-mounted or built-in. Installation is usually more affordable than gas or wood-burning alternatives. We provide clear, upfront quotes following a free consultation, with no hidden costs.

What is an electric fireplace, and how does it work?

An electric fireplace is a heating appliance that uses electricity to produce heat and flame effects. It creates the look of a real fire using LED or flame-effect technology, while heat is generated by internal electric elements. Electric fireplaces don’t require fuel, a chimney, or a flue, making them suitable for most homes.

Do your electric fireplaces come with a warranty?

All electric fireplaces supplied by Burning Desires come with manufacturer warranties. When installation is included, our service also comes with fitting guarantees for added reassurance. This means your electric fireplace is covered for performance, safety, and long-term use.
