Electric crackling fireplace
Electric fireplaces are getting better every year. These contemporary products no longer resemble simple metal boxes with a heating unit. Today, they are veritable decorative objects, with all the advantages of a traditional fireplace, but without the drawbacks. Here’s a look at our new range of crackling electric fireplaces!
What is an electric crackling fireplace?
Sitting comfortably on your sofa, well covered by blankets, you enjoy the warmth that gently invades the room, while listening to the sound of crackling coming from the fireplace in front of you… No, you’re not in front of a wood fire! Rather, this is the prowess of an electric crackling fireplace! This modern, current-powered accessory perfectly reproduces the crackling sound of logs in an open fire, while providing a pleasant heating temperature in your home. It produces no smoke or combustion residues.
This fireplace also creates a warm atmosphere by offering a very authentic experience of the flames seen in a traditional fireplace. Watching the flames dance and listening to the sound effects make the experience of your electric fireplace even more real. Better still, it has excellent relaxing properties for your body. It’s easy to install and simple to maintain.
Focus on decorative crackling fireplaces
In addition to offering all the advantages of a real, traditional fireplace, the crackling electric fireplace is also a highly fashionable decorative feature. Visually, it offers the spectacle of a blazing wood fire and the illusion of real flames, immersing the room in an intimate atmosphere. The heating system is available in a range of colors to suit all contemporary interior decors.
With a decorative crackling fireplace in your living room, you’ll immediately create a warm, cocooning atmosphere to help you cope with the cold. The charm of this accessory lies in its flames equipped with LED technology, which can change color to suit your mood (yellow, red, blue…), adding even more appeal to the device. The fireplace’s pure, harmonious lines also give priority to a convivial ambience in a wide variety of styles.
You’ll be able to vary the heating mode (auxiliary heating, space heating) as you like, for example by choosing the energy-saving mode – all from the comfort of your sofa, using a remote control!
How does an electric crackling fireplace work?
An electric crackling fireplace is a supplementary heating appliance with an electric convector (the fireplace motor) that operates via metal coils (the resistors). Cold air enters through the lower part of the convector, passes through the resistors and emerges heated at the upper part of the appliance.
This heated air is diffused by a fan (a blower) with 2 adjustable speeds, which spreads the warm air around the room.
The crackling sound produced by the electric fireplace is created by a sound effects box, also known as a crackling module. This module perfectly imitates the sound of crackling logs in a wood fire. Listening to it, you have the sensation of listening to the crackling of an open fire, especially with the image of real flames projected by your fireplace. This 95dB sound produced by a built-in loudspeaker can be increased or decreased as you wish. You can also turn it off and simply enjoy the soft, pleasant flames of your fireplace.
The different types of electric crackling fireplaces
The main criterion for differentiating electric crackling fireplaces is the installation method, followed by power and aesthetics. There are three types of equipment:
Floor-standing crackling fireplaces
As the name suggests, this type of electric crackling fireplace is installed directly on the floor. It is a means of supplementary heating that requires no special equipment apart from an electrical socket. It’s also a decorative piece of equipment that should be chosen to blend in perfectly with your interior décor. In most cases, a free-standing fireplace is already assembled when you buy it, to simplify the task.
The built-in crackling fireplace
The built-in fireplace is installed directly in a wall or niche. This electric fireplace saves a lot of space and creates a trendy and unique interior design!
The wall-mounted crackling fireplace
This is the most popular type of crackling electric fireplace on the market. It’s perfect for limited spaces, restricted rooms and entrance halls. Installation is similar to that of a plasma TV, which you hang on the wall using a support bracket.
