Why buy an electric stove?
More manufacturers, like Elgin & Hall and Be Modern, are showcasing their own takes on traditional electric stoves because of their importance to the modern fireplace market. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider an electric stove for your next fireplace replacement:
Energy-efficiency
Electric fireplaces convert 100% of their energy into usable heat—that's a fact! No heat lost up the chimney: when you buy an electric stove, you get to use all of its warmth to keep your home cosy.
Safety
Do you live in a property with pets or children? If safety concerns have stopped you from investing in home heating, look no further. Modern electric stoves mean you can avoid the risks of gas and open-flame fires. Many of the models in our collection also have advanced safety features, such as automatic shut-off mechanisms and child lock functions.
Temperature control
Electric fires offer a degree of precision you won’t find anywhere else. With adjustable thermostats, you can set your preferred room temperature, and the stove will maintain the output.
Traditional appearance
Traditional electric stoves are for homeowners who love the look of log-burning, coal-fired fires. Whether you’d prefer an electric model for safety or have had your heart set on a stove for a while, these luxury appliances offer all the benefits of a fireplace with none of the drawbacks.

Do electric stoves just plug in?
