Electric Stove Heaters

Electric stove heaters offer the same cozy atmosphere as wood-burning fires, but without the mess. They're also simpler to move from rooms to get additional heating as required.

They use heating elements that operate by conduction (when a metal coil touches your pots and pans). This type of heating doesn't contribute to climate changes.

Size

When it's plugged into the fireplace or placed "freestanding" in the room, an electric stove heater provides instant warmth and ambiance without the mess and fuss of a real wood or gas fire. Created to resemble the full-powered wood stove and gas models, these attractive units have designs that fit well into most decors. A lot of these units feature higher BTUs, which makes them ideal for heating rooms that span 1,000 square feet or more.

Consider one of our most popular electric freestanding stove heaters like the Costway model, if you are looking for a smaller alternative that is able to be moved from room to room to provide an additional or ambient heat source. This mid-sized heater has all the details and features you'd expect from a stove, such as double-opening doors that give a warm, cozy atmosphere to the room. The beautiful orange glow lighting can be controlled by a single button.

Another option is a fireplace stove heater that can be integrated into an entertainment center or TV. They are typically smaller and are designed to fit against the walls of most homes. These types of models can be ideal for integrating the two main areas of your living space into a single furniture piece, however they are usually limited in terms of shelves and cubby holes for media equipment or other things.

Additionally, some of our more modern electric stove heaters feature a combination of infrared quartz as well as halogen flame effects that provide supplemental or ambient heat while adding aesthetic appeal to your home. This kind of technology offers broad-reaching warmth that won't dry out the air and is more efficient in energy use than traditional burning flames that pulse. Many of these heaters can be operated without or with the flame effect and include an remote control that makes it easy to adjust the flame brightness levels and heating settings.

Heater

Some electric stove heaters look like flames, but do not generate heat. Other types of fireplaces, such as those using burning fuel sources like propane, wood, or kerosene require a vent for removing the harmful gases they release safely from your home. They are not portable and cannot be moved from room-to-room. They can be extremely effective as a secondary heating source in larger homes, however they aren't capable of heating the average family's home to a comfortable temperature.

Freestanding electric stoves include a built-in heater and can be used to heat the entire house. They have two temperature settings, and they are fan-driven for a wide heat distribution. This makes them ideal for heating zones in your living areas and bedrooms. They also come with a realistic LED 3D flame effect with an ember bed which creates stunning ambiance with or without heat.

Another important feature to look for in a stove heater that is electric is a safety feature that shuts off the fire and flame effect when the heater is at a certain temperature. This prevents you from accidentally leaving the heater on and burning down your home if you do not turn off the heat.

Electric stove heaters are available in several brands, so it is important to do some research before purchasing one. There are a few common electric stove heaters with very poor heating performance and underwhelming fire effects, so it's best to stick with the most trusted names in the market.

Dimplex, Napoleon and Kozy Heat are some of the top-rated electric stove heaters. These companies design their stoves to resemble traditional gas and wood stoves that are available on the market, which means you can bring the traditional look to your home's design. They also provide a variety of features that help to make these appliances more useful, like a remote control, programmable timer, and digital thermostats.

Fire Effects

Electric stove heaters come with a variety of fire effects, including pebbles, coal, and logs to replicate the appearance and feel of a real fireplace. Some models come with flames that you can enjoy without the heat, which means you can enjoy flickering light all year long. Other features include remote controls as well as a timer and infrared heating quartz that keeps the natural humidity in the room. The electric ranges we sell include innovative technologies such as Gazco's ChromaLight ImmersiveLED system, which creates a 3D-like experience.

In the event that it is placed in an existing chimney breast or located 'freestanding' in the room, an electric stove is a breeze to install and operate. Plug in, turn on and enjoy a cozy ambience immediately. The fact that you don't require a flue or any kind of installation also makes these stoves a lot cheaper than gas stoves.

They aren't the most efficient way to provide heat to a room. This is particularly relevant when they are utilized as the primary or only heating source. This is due to the limited space they have to allow room for the fire technology and heating element.

They can also suffer from low quality fire effects and lack of realism which is due to having to pack the heater power source, fire source and technology into such a small wood burning stove unit. If you want an appliance for heating that has great fire effects and a large unit, you're better off buying a stand-alone model.

A TV stand fireplace is a great alternative to the traditional electric heater. It can be integrated into an entertainment center, or another piece of furniture. It provides warmth and also acts as the focal point. They are smaller than stoves however they offer the benefit of being integrated into one piece of furniture. This will save storage space.

If your electric stove is not producing the desired flame effects, it could be because the rod that generates them has seized. If you can hear the rod squeaking or struggling to move, you can put WD40 at the end of the rod to help loosen it.

Brands

For those who want an elegant electric stove heater that resembles an actual fireplace with wood burning, the e-Flame USA Hamilton is a fantastic option. It has a sturdy metallic body which is cool to touch. The model is capable of heating up to 215 square feet and has an tempered glass panel with two settings for heat. It is CSA approved and is designed with safety features like an overheat prevention system that shuts the heater down in the event that it gets too hot.

Certain models come with the option of a remote control that lets you to adjust the flame brightness and color modes. Other popular features include digital thermostats, auto-shutdown functions, sleep timers and adjustable fire settings that can be programmed.

Another important consideration is a stove heater that simulates multiple fire effects. Certain models produce multi-directional fire effects, while others use mirror surfaces to create the illusion of depth.

It is also important to consider the power consumption of an electric stove heater when choosing the model. It is important to know the amps that your home can take because the majority are rated in Watts. If you're not sure how much power your home can handle, use a watt-to-amp converter online to determine.
