I had been looking to buy an electric fireplace for our spare bedroom (and because I wanted to find the perfect fireplace) I did a ton of research into what would be the best electric fireplace for our spare room.

We wanted an electric fireplace in the spare bedroom so that guests could be able to provide heat to the room whenever they wished, without the need for the central heating to be turned on. The visuals of a roaring fire were also an added bonus for any guests that stay over.

As an electric fireplace is really quite different to other types of fireplace, I thought I would share everything that I needed to consider before buying one for our home.

To help you decide what kind of electric fireplace you should purchase, and where you should put your fireplace, I’ve put together the top things you need to know and consider before buying an electric fireplace.
