There’s nothing more lovely than a cheerily crackling fire and the family gathered about while the December snow falls quietly.

However, the reality is messy, dangerous, and demanding: constantly feeding the flames, sweeping up ashes, and sparking burning holes in the rug. It could also mean a whole set of potential home and health risks. After all, fire is still fire – and with fire comes the hazards.

Thus, electric fireplaces have been the first choice of many fireplace lovers. An electric fireplace is a great way to warm up a room without worrying about smoke or paying for gas. Electric fireplaces are quick and easy to start and relatively energy efficient.

For those families who have kids or pets, it would never be too ca to be careful.

So, you may want to know: are electric fireplaces safe?

Simply put, electric fireplaces are generally quite safe. But, why exactly?

Here, we would like to take a top-selling electric fireplace as an example. Launched by R.W.FLAME, it has won a quite good reputation with its excellent practicability and affordable price. 

No Real Flame

First and foremost, electric fireplaces don’t use real fire. So, you don’t have to deal with real fire.  

Electric fireplaces make heat by using convection. First, it draws in cool air, heats it internally with a heating coil, and then the warmed air is then gently circulated back into the room by a blower. Since the warm air is produced by the electric heater, there is no burning or emissions of any kind.

An electric fireplace doesn’t have any real fire except the illusion of real flame. So, there is no chance or risk of spreading the fire or igniting nearby objects.

To create a real fire-like effect, R.W.FLAME Recessed Electric Fireplace uses LED technology which offers multicolor flame with a realistic fire effect and flickering flame. With 12 flame & LED flame bed color modes, 5 flame speed modes, and 5 flame brightness levels, the flame could automatically change the flame color and brightness. This eye-catching automatic flame design makes it so authentic that just like a real fire.

By controlling it to produce different types of flame patterns, you could get a customized experience every single time! Also, the soft flickering lights provide a source of light during cold nights as well as a relaxing atmosphere. 

No Combustible Material

In old days, heating the home required the hassle of hauling to acquire or buy firewood to prepare a Traditionally fireplace.

Electric fireplaces are an alternative to wood-burning fireplaces, gas, or any other solid fuel. There’s no need for the electric fireplace to use any fuel to work since all it takes is an electrical outlet with a 120V power supply. 

Because electric fireplaces use supplemental heating components, the need for combustible materials like lumber, gas, and fuel is no longer needed. This also means that the potential risk of burning down your home goes down to nearly zero – albeit an electrical malfunction.

No Byproducts

Actually, fire isn’t the only thing you should be afraid of. When there is a lack of sufficient oxygen for gas and burning lumber, toxic emissions such as smoke, creosote, and carbon monoxide could endanger the health of your entire family, which is an inevitable problem in tightly-sealed modern houses. 

According to Heart.ORG, wood-burning appliances are a threat to our hearts and lungs as they emit harmful air pollutants and risk catching fire nearby objects like gas-burning units.

Fortunately, electric fireplaces are completely carbon-free, and neither produces other toxic gases. It doesn’t need a constant supply of fresh air to warm up your home. Therefore, the potential emission of toxic byproducts is eliminated. An electric fireplace is an infrared fireplace whether it is a wall-mounted or freestanding fireplace. So, like the traditional fireplace, it doesn’t require burning wood or gas to produce heat. As a result, an electric fireplace insert generates no byproducts like smoke or gas.

R.W.FLAME Recessed Electric Fireplace Heater could create an enclosed space filled with warmth without having all those bad chemicals from smoke floating around freely inside homes. This often leads to healthier breathing for everyone who spends a lot of time inside which is definitely worth the effort!

Further, the electric heater needs no venting system to vent the emissions. That’s why it is safer compared to the wood or gas fireplace. And the best part is R.W.FLAME Electric Fireplace Stove is environmentally friendly when used, a perfect alternative to a traditional fireplace, and also a supplemental heat source that adds ambiance to a room.

Take Inspiration from Cathedral

R.W.FLAME Electric Fireplace Stove is simple and elegant, and the exterior can seamlessly blend into a modern or vintage design scheme, with multiple color finishes to match your decoration.

To get a perfect design for this stove, the R.W. FLAME's founder, Mr.Wang, has traveled far away to Europe to take inspiration. During his stay in Paris, he was captivated by this European world dotted with beautiful cathedrals.

Rising dramatically above the cities, cathedrals and their lofty spires make for some of the most visible and recognizable landmarks. Cathedrals boast lots of beautiful architecture, with breathtaking sculptures, exquisite artworks, and stained glass windows decorating their interior. Popular among both worshipers and tourists alike. Sometimes built not only centuries but millennia ago, these monumental buildings symbolized God’s power and might.

When he decided to add this style to his stove, a European designer's opinion happened to coincide with his. The designer advised that the door of the stove could be modeled on a cathedral arched door. Just like a cathedral passing power and hope to its worshipers, the stove is supposed to bring warmth and light to users during cold winter. This idea fits with the ethos of the R.W.FLAME Company quite well. The combination of two minds generate an astonishing achievement of design.

Look at the picture above; you’ll find a touch of Parisian flair on the stove. The diamond-shaped panes, also known as Quarrels, are reminiscent of the earliest medieval windows, taking the aesthetic appeal of the Fireplace Stove to the next level.

However, the selection of electric fireplace stoves is too wide and, when choosing, you have to consider the size of your space, what shape will suit you best, and your specific needs.

There exist different types of fireplaces. Some are modern looking, some more traditional also the function predispositions are not the same on every fireplace. Yet, some simply look pretty, with no intention to be functional at all.

That’s why we have brought this comprehensive guide for choosing the best electric fireplace. By researching the market and exploring the users' feedback, we have already minimized your options from hundreds to only the 5 best electric fireplace stoves which are sure to fit any need.

We also provide comparison charts, so you can review the different options side-by-side.

So, without further delay, let’s get started.

Appearance Design

Since Electric Fireplace Stove is also a great decoration for its aesthetic value and ambiance in homes, the appearance might be the first thing to consider for many buyers. We select the four most appealing stoves on the market here. By appearances, all of them meet many stove-lovers' esthetic needs.

On the face of them, Thermomate and R.W.FLAME Stove have a door kind of like a cathedral arched door, which adds a touch of European flair to the stoves.

From sides, they all have two sides available for users to enjoy the flame. The other three stoves adopt glass windows, while R.W.FLAME Electric Fireplace Stove is a little different. It has diamond-shaped panes, which are kind of reminiscent of the earliest medieval windows "Quarrels", taking the aesthetic appeal of the Fireplace Stove to the next level.

Flames

All electric fireplace stoves makers work hard to bring users as realistic flames as possible. Most electric fireplaces will be able to provide pretty good realism when it comes to producing the ambiance of a real wood stove, and some will be more realistic than others.

Different brands of electric fireplace stoves have their own settings that you can change, such as the brightness and color of the flames, to show various flame effects. All of these four adopt the panoramic 3-sided view design and can be used with the effects of the flame without the heater being on, so you can enjoy the flames even in the warmer months.

From the flame setting, both Duraflame and R.W.FLAME Stoves have multiple choices to meet users' visual needs. And from customer reviews, their various flame indeed brings users a better experience of realistic fire, especially their life-like flickering flames.

Also, stove makers offer users a remote to control the machine from the comfort of their seats. Duraflame and R.W.FLAME's remote could even be able to set a timer. You can also set a timer before bed, and it will turn off automatically as you command.

Heat

For electric fireplace stoves, it is no doubt that their priority is to provide heat. So modern stove makers adopt infrared heaters instead of conventional fan heaters. The advanced far-infrared heating method is adopted to create a healthier home environment, because its gentle heat maintains natural humidity in the air, rather than drying the air out, so your family’s skin and airways don’t dry out either. Here, these four stoves all have this advanced technology.

However, power consumption has always been the first concern when talking about heating appliances. R.W.FLAME and Xbeauty Electric Fireplace Stove have a thoughtful design that provides multiple heating choices for both energy-saving and fast-warm purposes.

They even have a user-friendly thermostat device that can automatically adjust the room temperature, allowing you to enjoy comfortable warmth. The intelligent system can adapt to your demand for heat in any weather. It is a very cost-effective option compared to other ways of staying warm.

Safety

Electric fireplaces are relatively safe for your home compared with traditional fireplaces since all it takes is an electrical outlet with a 120V power supply. So, the Overheat Automatic Power-off Protection is quite important to avoid a real fire.

Safety protection is essential, R.W.FLAME Electric Fireplace Stove seems to be more reliable than others. It has been installed an overheating safety device and an effective air outlet at the bottom of the stove, which can effectively avoid hidden dangers caused by equipment overheating.

These four stoves stay cool to the touch and provide a pleasant warmth but no direct heat, making them safe and suitable for everyone. Even small children and pets are quite safe around it.

All of these stoves' bodies are made of metal, which makes them more sturdy and durable. However, Duraflame, Xbeauty, and Thermomate's “beveled glass” is actually clear plastic. The clear plastic “glass” will surely warp and fog and get scratches as time goes by, and the plastic legs will not hold up either. While only R.W.FLAME Electric Fireplace Infrared Stove adopts a steel structure thoroughly.

Except for electricity and heat, noise is also an inescapable element. These four stoves we selected all generate little noise according to their users' feedback respectively.

Last
