Should I Choose a Bioethanol Fireplace, a Gas Fireplace or an Electric Fireplace?
A gas fireplace takes quite a lot of work as opposed to other options. It needs to be installed by an authorised expert, and it also requires a vent and connection to a gas supply. However, the heat output of a gas fireplace is much greater than with a bio or electric fireplace. On the other hand an ethanol fireplace offers more freedom. The only thing you need for an ethanol fireplace is the bioethanol fuel.
The same goes for an electric LED fireplace. It offers quite a lot of freedom, and only needs a power supply to work. However, an electric fireplace does not have a real flame since the flames are created with LED lights. So the most realistic of these two would be an ethanol fireplace.
Benefits for an ethanol fireplace:
- Ethanol is an affordable fuel
- Quick and easy installation
- Installation can be done yourself
- Requires no chimney or ventilation
- No smoke, soot or ash
- Provides excellent extra heat
- Some of the bio fireplaces can be used outdoor
- Has a real flame
Built-in Bioethanol Fireplace – to DIY or not to DIY
There are two very popular versions of built-in bioethanol fireplaces - both will make for a beautiful, modern-looking fireplace in your home. With these bio ethanol fires, no electric supply is needed. All you need is the perfect spot to install the fireplace and some bioethanol, and you are ready to go.
You can get either a framed fireplace to be build in, where all you need is hole in the facade in the right dimensions, and then it is just about inserting the bio ethanol fire frame. The other option is the frameless fireplace, where you use a bioethanol burner. With this your have many options for installation, some being to have it sunken into a wall or by making a four-sided fireplace in a semi wall.
All you have to do is choose what kind of look you want for your ethanol fireplace - and we'll have the right bioethanol fire for you!
Automatic Burners
The latest trend when it comes to bio ethanol fires is the so-called automatic burners, which can easily be installed in one of our built-in fireplaces. Find out what these burners are and what the best use for them is here. An electric burner is a variant, where the only thing that is still manual is the filling of ethanol in the tank. The capacity of the tank depends on the model, we have burners from 1,7L to 18,5L capacity.
There are accessories that will help make the filling easier. An ethanol pump that ensures that the bioethanol is poured directly and automatically from the bottle and directly into the fire tank. You can see the two pumps that we offer here; Pump for Bioethanol made of plastic and Pump for bioethanol (manual).
Of course, an automatic burner offers the same benefits as a manual burner. The chamber is still free of smoke, soot, and ash and you do not need a vent to operate it.
But there are some benefits that only the automatic burners offer. The fireplace is automatically ignited with the press of a button. You either have a remote control or a button on the fireplace, which can be pressed to turn the fireplace on and off.
Since the product is still relatively new, the range of designs is not as wide as with the manual burners. The most popular design here is black and stainless steel. And of course, there is free shipping on these fires.
Safety Comes First
In addition to the already great technology of being able to automatically switch the burner on and off, there is also the fact that the automatic fireplace has many high-tech sensors that offer an additional level of protection.
One of these sensors, for example, is a so-called tilt sensor. This sensor, therefore, offers leak protection. In the event that the chamber is tilted in a certain direction to allow the fuel to escape, it closes the opening quickly.
The automatic makes for a more easy and safe option of bioethanol burner, but the price point is also quite different from a manual bioethanol burner. Therefore, the choice of a manual or automatic burner is entirely dependent on you and your needs and wants.
