How to choose an electric fireplace
Before buying an electric fireplace, you need to collect all the necessary information about such devices. Engineer Igor Izotov told Komsomolskaya Pravda how to choose an electric fireplace for a home in 2022. He advises paying attention to the following details:
Power
In electric fireplaces, as a rule, it does not exceed 2 kW. The task of such devices is rather to please the eye than to warm. For small rooms, a model with a power of 1.5, 1.25 kW is sufficient. If you want more “warming” effect, then, of course, you need to take a stronger hearth.

Type of fireplace stove
Here you also need to build on the place in which you live. You can choose a floor fireplace if space permits. Many people prefer to stay on the built-in model. Always pay attention to the dimensions of the fireplace. The place where you install it must be chosen in advance.

Functionality
An important detail. The electric hearth should be easy to manage. The remote control is a simple but necessary detail. It is good when you can adjust the flame levels, sound, heating modes and so on. Such a thing is bought for a comfortable stay, and conditions must be created for it.
Appearance
A fireplace of this type is primarily an interior detail. For warmth and comfort, it is important that the flame is realistic. Firewood and stones — similar to real ones. Sound, too. Look at the specifications and user reviews. The effect of live fire and the sound of firewood crackling is not everywhere.
When choosing an electric fireplace, you should pay attention to the quality of materials and safety features — overheating protection, automatic shutdown, built-in fan, and more.
