Keeping Cosy

Install an energy-efficient appliance in your home with Eden Hearth & Home this autumn.

As the days get shorter and we start to feel a chill in the air, we look at turning our homes into a place of warmth and comfort. If you are looking for a stylish and efficient way to stay snug this winter, why not consider an electric fire from Eden Hearth & Home? Whilst wood-burning stoves and open fires may look more traditional, there are lots of added benefits to electric heating.

When you burn wood, oil, or coal to produce heat, you are burning a substance which, unlike electric fires, has an element of energy loss. Electric fire is almost 100% energy-efficient, as all energy turns into heat for your home with no energy loss from a chimney. A typical 2kw electric fire costs around 47p per hour to heat an average-sized room, and at just the simple flick of a switch! There’s also no time wasted chopping logs or cleaning up a mess after you’ve used it. Instead, enjoy instant heat and warmth with minimal effort.

Eden Hearth & Home are sure to have an electric fire to suit your home and style. Choose from bespoke media fireplaces with space for your TV and sound systems, or a modern wall-mounted model that doesn’t occupy any floor space at all. Or, there’s a wide range of electric stoves in cast iron, timber or steel if your taste is more traditional! To have an eye-catching feature in your home, you can even dress it up with a hearth, wooden beam or fireplace.

The process of installing your beautiful electric fire or stove is also quick and easy. They can be installed in almost any setting near a plug socket, which makes them extremely versatile, unlike some other forms of heating. Alternative methods can be costly to install, and most traditional fireplaces are tied into chimney breasts, restricting the location of your fire.

Technology has also meant that manufacturers have been able to recreate the flame in a realistic, warm and cosy glow, so it looks just like an open fire in your own home! For optimum tranquillity, there are a whole host of fuel beds and flame options available at Eden Hearth & Home – choose from logs or coal to enhance your gas fire experience. This, paired with the added technology of app controls and the use of Google or Alexa, means electric fires have become a desirable addition to many homes. Enjoy the aesthetic and warmth of a real fire with the ease and convenience of an electric one.

With so many choices, choosing the right fire can be a daunting task. However, a gas fire provides cosy ambience and real flames, available in a range of stylish designs, and a great heat source for anyone who needs an instant boost of heat in their home, whether you have a large or small property. Take advantage of up to 98% energy efficiencies on many fires available to buy today, over burning wood or coal which can waste energy.

Another thing to consider when choosing your fire is safety, particularly with children or pets in the house. With a gas fire, you don’t have to worry about falling embers or sparks and you can turn the appliance off instantly at the switch of a button. All of Eden Hearth & Home’s recommended manufacturers work to the highest industry standard, giving you more reason to sit back and relax. 

The misconception that a gas fire is expensive to run has also been addressed thanks to modern building technology. This technology has allowed manufacturers to develop new gas fire engines that take in less gas and give out more heat which provides you with the most efficient solution to heating your home.
