As they don't require a ventilation system or chimney and can be moved around the room. They also don't generate flames, so they don't need to be kept away from any combustible substance.

Adaptability

Electric fires are great for those who want to add an attractive, flexible fireplace to their home without the requirement of an installation that is permanent. They can be mounted on the wall, placed into an existing hole in the wall or used as freestanding units. A lot of them can be controlled by remote control or programmed using a timer.
