Installation is simple
Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick solution for homeowners looking to revamp their living space or to add a focal point to their home decor. You don't require chimneys and they won't emit dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your ceilings or walls.

You only need to make sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy and follow the directions of the model you select.
Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted have the necessary hardware to install them as a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It will take an experienced professional approximately one hour to put in the brackets, extensions, and find the studs.
You can also choose between manual and automated bio ethanol burning equipment. The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames so it will burn for longer without the risk of overheating or running out of. Manual burners operate the same as a fireplace, except that you'll need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.
It's important to remember that when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could overheat and damage the fireplace.
Ethanol fireplaces electric are a great alternative for those looking to create a dramatic focal point in their home, but don't have the funds or time to set up a wood or gas fireplace. They're a perfect choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate soot or ash, so there's no maintenance issues.
Styles and designs
Bio ethanol fireplaces come in various styles and designs. Some have a more traditional fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to look sleek and modern. Whatever the design they all offer the same benefits: real flame ambience without gas or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and may require special mounting gear. They also must comply with certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.
The fire is created by a burner pan located at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full flame potential. Once the flames are established then it's time to relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.
Certain ethanol fireplaces have adjustable heat settings. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fire produces, which can be useful if you want it to provide more warmth than just ambiance.
Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for older homes or modern homes that do not have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not generate ash or harmful gases, which can be dangerous for those suffering from respiratory issues.

Although the exact time for installation depends on the model you select however, the majority of them can be installed relatively quickly. You can even choose a portable fireplace that you can carry with you if you ever relocate, which makes it a good option for a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is an important aspect for many buyers, and it is something that should not be ignored when shopping for a new fireplace.
No flue
The big benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need an exhaust pipe to run. There is no danger of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or a blockage.
A bio-ethanol fireplace also does not produce many particles that could harm the air, which is good news for those who suffer from allergies or asthma. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, which means it doesn't create a unpleasant odor in the room.
Bioethanol fireplaces produce an enormous amount of heat, compared to wood burning fires. This means you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the flame without having to worry about catching a flame that could be hazardous for any valuables.
There are a variety of designs available for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose one that is wall-mounted for a sleek, modern look or a recessed one that will blend into the design of your room.
Another thing to think about is whether you want an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic burner will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.
After you've used your bio ethanol fireplace, it is important to let the flames completely go out and wait until the fire is cool before refilling. In the event that you don't, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start all over again.
Most manufacturers recommend that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure you have enough time to properly extinguish the flames, and make sure that all materials that are flammable are kept away from the flame. To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from children and pets.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled with an adjustable slider (not all designs feature this). By changing the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can adjust how quickly the fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.
The soot produced by the fuel burning is easily removed using a the help of a soft clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to ensure that the burner is full of the correct fuel and ensure that it's not in contact with items or materials that are flammable.

This provides you with a large amount of flexibility in the design of your home and also where you can take pleasure in the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can also opt to have a free-standing fireplace that can be moved from room to room.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be installed on your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees so you can direct the flame and heat to the desired location of your living space. Some models come with a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
For maximum flexibility, a majority of the plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow you to connect them to a flat or sloping ceiling. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you want it while being able to turn the flame off or on, adjust the flame height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.
If you're not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is turned off and is away from any flammable substances or equipment. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it's cooled to room temperature and always be careful when handling the fire as it will be very hot.
