What is your perception of an electric fire? Do you think of vintage bar fires with spinners and plastic dust trapping log effects? Well think again….the new state of the art electric fires offer stunning visual effects, a wide choice of styles and colours and the addition of heat if you want it too.

Visit Select Appliances in Plymstock and be prepared to be amazed with just how stunning electric fires are. There are a wide range of flame effects from simple smouldering embers to those which use ribbons to create an illusion of a flickering flame. Some even use water to create the effect of a smoky real coal fire as seen on the Dimplex Optimyst range of electric fires. Select Appliances have over 30 fires on display so you can see them working and then select colours or fuel options to suit your taste or room style. There are suites, inset fires and hang on the wall models suitable for all room sizes and house types. There are many electric fires to fit a standard fireplace opening if you are replacing a gas or solid fuel fire. Chris Bryant from Select Appliances explains that many homes now have excellent heating systems and are better insulated so the need for a high out put fire in the lounge is no longer necessary for everyone.“Many modern homes do not have chimneys or flues so an electric fire is perfect for creating a cosy warm welcome home look. There are a range of suites which come ready assembled and simply need plugging in whilst others require a professional installation.”“Many of our electric fires are available with 48 hour delivery” explains Karen one of the owners “whilst the suites may take a few weeks to be manufactured and delivered.” Select Appliances offer a free delivery service in the Plymouth area and can disconnect and take away your old gas fire and install a new suite for an additional charge if required.Take a look at their website www.selectappliances.co.uk for more information and be amazed at just how impressive they now are or better still visit their showroom in Plymstock and see for yourself. www.selectappliances.co.uk
