Why choose electric fires?

Over the last twenty years, electric fires have changes substantially and have revolutionised the fireplace industry. Today, electric fires are more economical with the introduction of LEDs, and unlike gas fires, the flame effect can be used independent of heat. Electric fires also have a secondary function and can give out heat which is useful when used as a top up in conjunction with modern central heating systems.
One big advantage of electric fires is that, they are relatively simple to fit in, and do not need an active chimney. The advantage of this means that the fitting costs of electric fires are relatively small compared to gas fires which can be extremely costly.
