There’s nothing quite like the effect of a fire. It creates a wonderful feeling of comfort and cosiness. But open fires can be inconvenient and messy. Likewise if installing a gas fire you need to consider flue and gas connection constraints, the permanency and cost of installation and the need for annual servicing.

This is why so many people around the world appreciate the benefits of using a Dimplex Optiflame® electric fire.

Indeed, there have been significant increases in the price of fuel in recent years, and whilst electricity prices have gone up, the increases are not as significant as gas. In fact Energywatch – the independent gas and electricity consumer watchdog – reported in July 2006 that some energy suppliers had increased the cost of gas to their customers by as much as 92% since 2003, while the price of electricity had increased by only 54%.

All Dimplex Optiflame® fires are 100% efficient at point of use, so no heat is wasted. The ‘flames’ can also be used independently of the heating, so you can enjoy the cosiness of the flames on those dark but mild spring and autumn evenings.

Dimplex electric fires also require no maintenance or cleaning unlike conventional open fires, and are very simple to install; virtually all fires come complete with a fitted plug and many don’t even require a fireplace! However, if your preference is for a complete fireplace, Dimplex can offer this too with a choice of suites and ready-to-fit surrounds.

Whatever your taste – ultra modern, traditional or classic, Dimplex has a fire to suit your décor and lifestyle.
