What is the difference between Electric Fireplaces and Bio Fireplaces?

Both electric and bioethanol fireplaces are great alternatives to both wood and gas fireplaces. Both types are great alternatives, since neither requires a chimney. As a result, they can be easily installed in any home. If, however, you still find it difficult to choose - in this article we will compare the two types of fireplaces and help you make the best decision.

To simplify it, we will look at the advantages and disadvantages of both types of fireplaces.

 

Bio fireplaces

If you still do not know what a bioethanol fireplace is and how it works, we will tell you now. Bioethanol fireplaces are fireplaces that do not require a chimney. They produce a good amount of warmth and instantly add a sense of coziness and comfort in any room.

 

Advantages

  • ♦  Real and authentic flames
  • ♦  No hazardous vapors or particulates
  • ♦  Smokeless - no chimney, soot, ash, etc.
  • ♦  They do not require electrical contact
  • ♦  They produce a good amount of heat

 

The most important advantages of bioethanol fireplaces are the true flames as well as the heat they release.

 

Disadvantages

  • ♦  They consume little oxygen
  • ♦  More costs than electric fireplaces
  • ♦  They cannot burn without producing heat
  • ♦ Wait 20-30 minutes between charges biofuel while the combustion chamber to cool completely
  • ♦  There is a real risk of burning

 

Unfortunately it is not possible flames do not emit heat. If you do not need it, the easiest solution is to install a fan or just open the window.

 

Electric fireplaces

Electric fireplaces are known to almost everyone as fireplaces that just plug into the outlet. They have a fan that can be switched on and off, produce heat, and the electrical system creates a realistic illusion of flame.

 

Advantages

  • ♦  Cheap to work with
  • ♦  Easy to install and use
  • ♦  They work all year round - With or without heat
  • ♦  Smokeless - no chimney, soot, ash, etc.
  • ♦  You don't need any fuel
  • ♦  There is no real flame - there is no real risk of burning

 

The most important advantages of electric fireplaces that should be noted are their safety and ease of use. They turn on very easily and since there are no real flames, the risk is minimal.

 

Disadvantages

  • ♦  They require electricity to operate
  • ♦  They will never create the feeling of a real flame

Unfortunately, the biggest problem is the lack of real flames. Many customers end up giving up the electric fireplace because of the "false" feeling the flames give. It is most important to see how an electric fireplace works before you buy one to ensure that you enjoy the effects of the flame.

We've always been big fans of electric fireplaces - if we didn't, we wouldn't sell them. Keep in mind that we may be a little biased when it comes to helping you make the final decision - we hope this article has given you the information you need to decide for yourself. However, we will highlight the key difference.

 

Conclusion

You need to choose an electric fireplace if you are not very interested in real flames or have a low budget. Electric fireplaces are much cheaper than quality (and safe) bioethanol fireplaces. For us, they are the perfect replacement for real fireplaces.

On the other hand, bioethanol fireplaces are very suitable if you want some warmth and real live flames. With them you will get the true feeling.
