Dimplex are regarded as the market leader in the manufacture of electric fires, having been in the business for over sixty years. The company really ‘tick all the boxes’ in terms of electric fire design: since creating the ‘Opti-Flame’ realistic flame effect in 1988, Dimplex electric fires have been widely viewed as the most realistic of all flame-effect electric fires on the market.
Recently, Dimplex unveiled their new ‘Opti-Myst’ range of fires, and these produce an amazingly realistic flame and smoke effect, never seen before. This is achieved through the use of holographics projected onto atomised water (steam), in order to realistically simulate authentic flames. ‘Smoke’ and glowing coals, logs, or pebbles complete the look.
One of the positive aspects of using a Dimplex electric fire is that they are environmentally friendly. All Dimplex fires are 100% efficient at point of use, meaning that there is no wastage of heat or energy (and money!). Many models also come with a room-sensing thermostat that saves electricity by switching itself off when a room reaches its ideal temperature. In addition, there are no harmful CO2 emissions and big gas bills with an electric fire!
Also, the flame effect on an electric fire is extremely cheap to operate – Dimplex estimate the energy cost at around £2 per annum, and the lifespan of the LED bulbs that operate the effect at almost 55 years. Compare this with the cost of running a gas fire – there is no real comparison. This is a distinct advantage of the electric fire: a cosy, real flame effect for little cost, and the fire does not even need to be activated!
There are many designs of Dimplex electric fire, and these can be bought alone, or as part of a fireplace suite that includes a surround, back panel and hearth. Wall mounted fires; inset and freestanding fires; stoves; traditional radiant bar fires; complete suites – all are available at Dimplex, with models to suit all tastes. Better still, all that is needed to install a Dimplex electric fire is a plug socket! Visit Dimplex today for your electric fire needs.
