Fireplaces FAQ Most popular fireplace questions

Electric fireplaces can be enjoyed all year round — the flame and heat work separately, so you keep the ambience even in summer.

In Malta, electricity costs around €0.125/kWh. Based on 4 hours of daily use for a full year:

• Flame only: under €7 per year — average 25 W per hour.
• Flame + heat (6 months): about €85–€95 per year in total.

That’s typically around €0.15/hour.

Most models provide between 750 W and 2 kW of heat (about 2,500–9,000 BTU), ideal for a 20–25 m² living area. Enjoy the flame with or without heat.

They’re extremely safe and family-friendly: no real flame, no smoke, and no carbon monoxide. The glass stays cool to the touch, and built-in safety sensors prevent overheating — great for homes with kids or pets.

Yes — electric fireplaces are safe for cats and dogs. There are no sparks, fumes, or hot embers, and most glass fronts are warm but not scalding. Overheat protection automatically switches the unit off if airflow is blocked.

It’s an illusion of light and movement using efficient LED projection and reflective surfaces. Some premium models use ultra-fine water vapour to deliver a 3D, lifelike “smoke” effect — totally safe and emission-free. Some new models also use LCD screen flame technology for ultra-realistic visuals.

Yes. Many models include crystals, stones, or driftwood logs that you can swap to match your décor. With no combustion, decorative media options are broad and safe.

Almost none — no ash, no chimney, and no annual servicing. Wipe the glass occasionally and enjoy. LED flame systems last for tens of thousands of hours, and the heaters are typically maintenance-free.

Yes. Most units vent heat from the front or bottom, making them safe below a TV. Always observe the model’s clearance guidelines for best airflow, but in most cases electric fires require minimal spaces.

As a rule of thumb, choose a fireplace at least as wide as your TV — ideally 10–15 cm wider on each side for balanced proportions. With today’s 50–75" TVs, fireplaces around 130–180 cm deliver a sleek, built-in look.

Many models plug into a standard 13-amp, 3-pin plug socket. We recommend keeping this standard plug configuration. Our team can advise in-store if needed.
