Many Australians are looking to disconnect from the gas grid and save money with efficient electric appliances, and by generating their own solar energy.
Against this backdrop, a permanent market shift away from gas fires to electric fireplaces appears inevitable, one made easier by the recent technological improvements in the latest electric models.
Electric fireplaces were first introduced in the early 1910s before gaining popularity in the mid-1950s. The first electric fireplaces were impractical, expensive and difficult to install and maintain. They also suffered from unrealistic flame effects that limited their acceptance in the market.
From the 1980s, techniques for electrical “flame effects” improved slowly, eventually achieving somewhat realistic-looking flames in the mid-1990s. In recent years, new manufacturers have entered the market and are continuing to innovate and improve, delivering more advanced solutions that include smart, wi-fi connected technology, multi-dimensional flame effects and a range of shapes, profiles and finishes to suit any design aesthetic.
Available from Castworks, Amantii Bespoke electric fireplaces are a culmination of the brand’s nearly four decades of experience in the fireplace and heating industry. The modern design of Amantii fireplaces ensures they complement the diverse range of living and working spaces, capturing the latest in technology and styles to deliver a world-class electric fireplace.
Amantii’s emphasis on technology and performance is on display with the advanced flame effects featured in its bespoke models, which combine flame, quality and sound to produce a highly realistic flame presentation. With two flame patterns (standard and realistic flame), customisable brightness and speed levels, and multiple flame colors (orange, red, blue in any combination), users can adjust the LED flame effects to their liking. Ember bed lighting featuring multi color LED lights illuminate from underneath, while a crackling fire sound (sampled from a real fire) further enhances the fireplace experience.
More people are steering towards electric fireplaces as a lower cost, greener and more functional alternative to gas fireplaces. Amantii delivers in these respects with a range of Bespoke models that require no ventilation and feature superior construction ensuring a long-lasting electric fireplace. Compare this to the installation of new gas products, which is accompanied by additional costs associated with installing ventilation and testing to ensure the installation meets Australian standards and regulations. Amantii bespoke models are rated for either indoor or in an alfresco area, and can be fully recessed or wall-mounted, which offers versatility in design.
All new homes these days achieve a minimum 6-star energy rating so heating appliances do not need to produce as much heat as required 10 years ago. In any case, Amantii electric fireplaces are ideal for zone heating, allowing users to heat indoor spaces while keeping the central thermostat lower and ensuring no energy is wasted heating unused areas. LED flames can be enjoyed with or without heat, which means users can enjoy the ambience of fire in warmer months while consuming much less energy.
Amantii models feature the latest in smart technology and intuitive controls. Using a WiFi app, users can set the fireplace to turn on before arriving home, or have it turn on automatically when the weather is cold. Users also have complete control to adjust the flames, temperature or timer using the patented thermostatic remote.
Electric fireplaces present a healthy and efficient solution for modern spaces. Much of the population is uncomfortable about using gas as a heart source due to health concerns regarding actual flames and air pollution. Amantii’s electric fires eliminate these risks entirely with designs that fully enclose the heating element and emit no gasesor particulate pollution from the source.
