Electric Fireplace Stove

Electric stoves are designed to imitate wood burning stoves, with a stove body, legs and door. This type of electric fireplace can be flexible on where it can be placed in a home. Electric stoves typically come with a power plug as standard and so simply need to be plugged into a nearby electrical outlet to be used.

 

Electric stoves are commonly placed in open fireplaces to resemble an installed wood burning stove (but for a fraction of the cost). These electric fireplaces are fairly small compared to other types and so can be moved around your home into different rooms as and when you want to enjoy the flames and/or heat.

 

We like to use our electric stove in our living room fireplace during the summer months when the open fireplace isn’t being used.

We have an electrical outlet located near the fireplace and so the electric stove simply needs to be plugged in and it can be used straight away.

 

Electric stove can come in both conventional fan heater and infrared, with infrared electric stoves typically being able to heat a larger area compared to fan heater electric stoves.

Our particular model of electric stove has a fan heater, which can be found located underneath the stove.

At a first glance it’s not easy to tell whether an electric stove uses a fan heater or infrared heater. Infrared heaters are a selling point and so you will typically be able to see infrared mentioned in either the title of the product or the description, otherwise the type of heater an electric stove uses will be stated in the product details.

 

Electric stoves are typically black in color but some models can be found in varying colors to suit your preference.
