Add Warmth and Ambiance to Your Home With a Homcom Free Standing Ethanol Fireplace Standing Electric Fire

Bring warmth and ambiance to your home with a free standing electric fire. Unlike traditional fireplaces, these units don't require ventilation, and only require access to a power source.

The CSA-certified product comes with multiple temperatures and an auto-shutoff feature. It's also cool to the touch. It does not feature an overheat or tip-over shutdown protection.

Safety

Electric fireplaces that stand by themselves are among the safest ways to provide additional heat for homeowners. Contrary to wood-burning fireplaces and gas stoves, they don't produce an actual flame that could ignite the flammable materials or release carbon monoxide into the home. Additionally, they do not release harmful dust and fumes that could trigger asthma or exacerbate respiratory issues for people with chronic diseases like heart disease or bronchitis.

Electric fireplaces eliminate the need for routine cleaning and maintenance since they do not burn fuel or wood, or produce smoke or ash. They produce no harmful byproducts from combustion, like creosote or soot which could pose a hazard in the home.

Instead of a real flame free-standing electric fireplaces make use of what's referred to as "flame effects" to mimic the appearance of a fire. This method uses LED lights and mirrors to create motion and a lifelike appearance. Some models also contain water vapor to mimic the appearance of smoke.

Certain models come with controls on the unit, which can be buttons or knobs. Others, such as "smart" models can be controlled via an app for smartphones or using voice commands. Some models even have an remote control that allows you to operate the fireplace from the distance.

Electric fireplaces are generally safe. However it is essential to adhere to safety guidelines when using any heater in your home. Keep them away from flammable items like curtains, blankets and rugs. Do not operate them near water, and make sure they're not connected to extension cords or surge protection. It is also important to disconnect the electric fireplaces when not in use, and to examine them for issues or tripped safety features regularly.

Convenience

Unlike traditional gas or wood fires, free-standing electric fires do not emit harmful gases into the atmosphere. They generate radiant heat that directly heats objects and people within the room. They're less energy-intensive and won't increase your electric bills as much. They don't release smoke or other harmful substances, which can trigger allergies or cause your home to smell like the smell of a fireplace.

Electric fires are also easy to use. All you require to start one is a power outlet, and you're ready to go. You can control the heating and 'flames" from the switch on your fireplace or via remote.

They are generally smaller than traditional fireplaces, and are often shaped like stylish space heaters. They usually come with a mantel and can be placed on an unfinished wall or in the corner of the room. They use radiant, or infrared heating to directly heat objects and people instead of circulating warm air throughout the room. They are also more efficient than a fire, consuming up to 90% less electricity.

A freestanding electric fireplace will make a statement in your home and can add to its design. Some models have contemporary, modern look while others feature a classic style that works with any style. There are some that can be built into the wall for an even more polished appearance.

Wildland fuel characteristics are extremely varied over time and space, and they can influence fire behaviour and effects. Fuel Characteristic Classification System, a national system for mapping fuels created to record this complexity, was developed. FCCS reference fuelbeds have been compiled using published literature, fuels photos and other data sets. They are loaded into LandFIRE's Fuels and Fire Tools (FFT) application.

FCCS fuel models are categorized into six categories: canopy woody fuels and shrubs, nonwoody fuels, and litter-lichen-moss. The model calculates qualitative and quantitative parameters for each category that define the ability of the fuel bed to spread fire.

For instance the FB10 fuel model represents a stand of mixed live timber and herbaceous understory fuels with a low amount of dead vegetation, particularly 3 inches or more limbwood. Crown fires and spotting are typical in this fuel type. They vary from a dynamic shift of herbaceous loads to live and dead herbaceous fuels, to a more constant transfer of fine dead fuels among grasses, shrubs, and litter. The spread rate is low to moderate and the length of the flame is moderate.

The Rothermel fuel model is widely used to predict spread rates under conditions of quiescence (no wind, no slope). The model is not able to predict the spread rate of compressed fuel beds. Further investigation is needed to better understand the relation between the structure of the fuel and the propagation of flames. This is a crucial step because the Rothermel model's numerator (energy released from unburned fuel) and denominator (fuel bed surface area) are closely linked to fire spread. This is an important finding that can improve the model's performance.
