Electric fireplaces and fire suites

An electric fireplace suite gives you the look of a traditional fireplace without a chimney: a mantel, a back panel, a hearth and an electric fire, delivered as one set. It stands against a flat wall and plugs into a socket. TV stands with a built-in fire do the same job in a more modern room.

Suite, TV stand or freestanding fire?

  • Fire suites stand flat against the wall and give the room a focal point. Check the overall width and depth against the wall, and the height of the mantel if a TV or mirror will go above it.
  • TV stands with a fire combine storage and heat. Check that the stand is rated for the weight and width of your TV.
  • Freestanding stoves are covered in their own section: see electric stoves.

All of them plug into a normal 13 A socket. Plug the fire straight into a wall socket, not an extension lead, which is the advice Electrical Safety First gives for heaters. More practical tips are in are electric fires safe?.

Frequently asked questions

Do electric fire suites come assembled?

Usually not. Most suites arrive flat packed with the fire boxed separately. Assembly is normally simple, but the mantel and hearth are bulky, so plan for two people. The manual tells you whether the suite needs fixing to the wall.

Can an electric fireplace go against any wall?

It needs a flat, level floor and a wall socket within reach of the lead. Avoid walls where curtains or furniture would sit close to the heat outlet. Electrical Safety First suggests keeping heaters at least one metre from combustible materials.
