How does a built-in electric fireplace work?

The flames inside the fireplace burn on logs, a detail which reinforces their realism; they instantly warm up your living room. The aesthetic of an electric fireplace changes your interior, creating a friendly atmosphere thanks to the flame effects and its cladding which perfectly simulate a traditional fireplace. There are several styles of electric fireplaces. So you can find the perfect decorative fireplace for your interior. Are you more modern, unusual, vintage, classic or traditional? Choose from our selection of built-in electric fireplaces. And what about the heat? The heat created by an electric fireplace comes from a blower electric heating system. It is manufactured using a thermal convector and an electrical resistance. A fan diffuses the hot air throughout the room. The fire in the fireplace is not real, which allows on the one hand to avoid any risk of fire or burns. On the other hand, the cladding and the glass of the fireplace electric are not hot, which spares you all the inconveniences of a wood fireplace. No need to cut or accumulate wood, no maintenance is necessary because there are no ashes to clean up, and no need to bother lighting and feeding a fire.

Comment installer une cheminée électrique encastrable ?
A built-in electric fireplace must be inserted into the hearth of an old fireplace, or into a wall or piece of furniture provided for this purpose. The most important thing for an electric fireplace is to be close to a power supply, to be able to plug it in so that it works. It is perfectly acceptable to install an electrical outlet in the opening provided for the appliance, which allows the outlet to be concealed.
