Can You Get Fireplaces That Don't Give Off Heat?

If you're looking for a fireplace that doesn't give off heat but still offers the aesthetic of a warm and cosy fireplace, then a heatless electric fireplace may be the best choice for you. To help you with your research, we have created this guide to help you choose the perfect heatless electric fireplace to suit your budget and requirements.

Why choose a heatless electric fireplace?

You don’t have to miss out on the relaxing and mesmerising glow of a flame with a heatless fireplace, and there are many reasons why choosing a heatless fireplace may be the ideal choice for you.

Perhaps you do not have a chimney, or your home or office space does not lend itself well to a real fire?
You may already have ample central heating in your home for warmth, but you’d really like to create an ambient glow at nighttime?
Perhaps you want to create an atmospheric space during the summer months when the heat of a fireplace is not required?
Maybe you like the focal point that a fireplace brings to a room, but you do not need the extra warmth?

If you've resonated with any of the above, a heatless electric fireplace could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

How do heatless fireplaces work?

The flame within an electric fireplace is typically produced by an LED light that, depending on the model, can be adjusted for varying intensities of light depending on the mood you’d like to set. Some models also have a ‘flame effect only’ setting and produce no heat at all, whilst other models can still output some heat between 0.7kW and 2kW.

Do heatless fireplaces look different?

You can buy an electric no-heat fireplace in almost any style ranging from entirely traditional wall fireplaces to modern and contemporary media wall suites. You can also take your customisation a step further by choosing different styles of bed including log beds, coal beds, pebble beds and more.
