How to choose and what to pay attention to?

A fireplace is not a cheap product, so when choosing a model you should accurately determine its characteristics and not make a mistake.

Experienced engineers recommend paying attention to the following factors:

• Power is the most basic thing required from a fireplace. The required power is selected based on the area and volume of the room. Optimal and simple calculation - at least 1 kW per 10 sq.m. rooms.
• The body material is the key to the durability of the fireplace and its thermal efficiency. Steel models heat up quickly and cool down quickly, so they need to be “refueled” regularly. In addition, steel walls are prone to burning. Cast iron retains heat longer, but it is a fragile material that should be protected from shock and damage.
• Type of fuel - most fireplace stoves consume wood, but there are models that burn peat briquettes and coal. The choice depends on the financial capabilities and personal preferences of the consumer.
• The diameter of the chimney depends on the technical characteristics of the house; the wider the chimney, the better the combustion products are removed.

Types of stoves-fireplaces for a summer residence

Fireplace stoves can be divided into two large classes depending on the materials used in their manufacture:

• Steel models are lightweight, despite the thickness of the walls. They heat up quickly and easily release heat into space, but they also cool down easily, so they are demanding on fuel and are often “gluttonous”. Ideal for rooms where there is no need for regular heating.
• Cast iron is a more expensive and heavier option, takes longer to heat up, but is also more thermally efficient over time. More fuel efficient, suitable for rooms where it is necessary to maintain heat constantly. For aesthetics and greater thermal efficiency, they are often equipped with cladding made of ceramics, natural stone or brick.

Which company should you choose?

There are many companies producing such heating devices. Experts recommend paying attention to well-known brands that use higher quality and proven materials.

These include:

• Kratki is a Polish brand with an optimal pricing policy and high efficiency. Wood-burning models have high power, sophisticated ergonomics and adjustable door pressure. The appearance of the fireplaces is modest, but the company focuses on functionality.
• Meta is a Russian company that has been on the market for a long time. Produces optimal fireplaces for small spaces. A distinctive feature is that they do not tolerate damp and resinous firewood; it is recommended to burn with dry hardwood fuel.
• Spartherm is a German brand that produces models with and without a water circuit, as well as fireplaces burning coal, gas and peat briquettes. We also manufacture fireplaces upon customer request.

Which brand of electric fireplace is better?

Many companies today are engaged in the production of electric fireplaces. Thanks to this, the range of devices is quite large - you can purchase both a compact electric fireplace and a fairly large one. But which manufacturer’s products should you prefer? Especially for this case, we will study electric fireplaces produced by different companies, which are the most popular:

• Electrolux is a world-famous company from Sweden, founded more than a hundred years ago. Specializes in the production of household and professional equipment. About 60 million products are sold worldwide each year. The list also includes electric fireplaces - not the cheapest, but simple and easy to use and, importantly, very reliable.
• Endever is also a Swedish company that produces a wide variety of household appliances, which have long included electric fireplaces. The price is slightly higher than that of the previous manufacturer, which can be explained by the more active implementation of the latest advances in production.
• Dimplex is a brand from Ireland. The company has been around for almost half a century and from the very beginning it has specialized in the development and production of the most modern equipment in the field of electric heating. It was this company that first produced fireplaces with the effect of live fire. Of course, electric fireplaces are known and popular all over the world, although they cannot be called cheap.
• RealFlame is a domestic company that produces not only electric fireplaces, but also all related accessories. It can boast of fairly high quality products and at the same time very affordable prices. However, the range of models is quite extensive, so there are both budget and luxury devices. Although it has been known on the market for a little over twenty years, it has managed to earn an impeccable reputation, proving the high quality of its equipment.
