Flames for the Future! The Best Electric Fireplace Technology

If you love having the latest gadgets and technology at home to impress your friends with, an electric fireplace is just what you need!

While a traditional fireplace is full of grandeur and charm, contemporary electric fires often have those extra features that really stand out!

Today’s technology has meant that electric fires can really up their game. While gas fires and open fireplaces are preferred by those who want a real flame, electric fires come into their own if you want something a little more flash!

Today’s electric fires can boast smart features such as :

Customisable flame displays. Change between log and coal effects and ambient lighting displays.
Thermostatic controls. No fiddling around with heat settings to manage the temperature, let your fire do it for you!
Effect only options. You don’t have to run the heat and flame effect together. Effect only settings allow you to continue enjoying the LED display long after your room has heated up.
Timer settings. Want to fall asleep to the sound of flickering flames? Or, want to control your energy bills by only running it for a set number of hours? Timer settings are here to help!

With bright LED displays, an electric fire is in no way second rate to a ‘real’ fire. Not only this, but they are also incredibly versatile and have no mess or carbon monoxide risk, so you can put them anywhere you have a power supply - bedrooms, conservatories and kitchens included! - making them a true fireplace for the future.

To show off some of the best technological features of electric fires, we have rounded up the most impressive options available online at Direct Fireplaces...
