Wood-burning fires require some regular maintenance and upkeep. You’ll need to clean the ash dumping regularly and ensure that the stove’s vents are functioning properly. It is important to make sure that the ash dump slides effortlessly and that there is no obstruction or build up of creosote inside. You should also clean the ember bed occasionally to avoid a build up of dust. You can use a soft, clean cloth to clean the embers, or an attachment for a vacuum cleaner.
Electric fires are also easy to maintain. You simply need to clean any dust that has accumulated on the mirrors or the ember bed from time the time using an abrasive cloth or dry, lint-free sponge. You may have to clean your fireplace’s air intakes from time to time in accordance with the amount of dust that is in your house. This can be accomplished by taking the glass off of your fire and exposing the air intakes that are located on both sides. You can clean the air intakes by using an abrasive cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.
Another advantage of electric fires is that they do not generate heat until you turn them on, thereby avoiding unnecessary heating and thereby saving money. Many Dimplex electric fireplaces also have room-sensing technology that continuously monitors the room’s temperature and adjusts the temperature to remove uncomfortable and inefficient “room temperature fluctuations’.

Free-standing electric fireplaces aren’t just visually appealing, they are also extremely affordable in terms of purchasing and operating costs. Unlike traditional fireplaces, which require coal or gas they run on electricity. Gas fires can cost up to PS300 per annum. To ensure you’re not wasting money choose a model with an energy efficiency rating of A or better.
One of the most important factors in determining the amount that an electric fireplace will cost to run is its size. A larger fire will use more power, which is why it is essential to select the appropriate size for your space. If you pick something that’s too big, you will waste money on heating and electricity – not to mention, it will be more difficult to maintain.
There are a variety of ways to lower the price of an electric fire:
Burn only wood that is seasoned. This will make the fireplace as efficient as it can and last longer. You can also insulate your chimney to reduce the amount of energy your fireplace uses. Make sure to shut off your fireplace when you aren’t using it. Even just turning it off for a half hour could save you a substantial amount of money over the course of the year.
