Safety: When buying an electric wood burner, safety is going to be a high priority – and rightfully so. As with all electrical appliances, look out for products that have safety certification. Most Dimplex wood burners, for instance, are approved by the British Electrotechnical Approvals Board (BEAB). And some burners, such as the Beldray wall-mounted electrical fire in our roundup below, feature an automatic safety shut-off feature if the appliance overheats. This fire can be operated via manual or remote control and can even be used independently of the fully concealed 2kW heater, meaning you can enjoy the classic feel of the fire all year round. The thermostatic controls mean you can set your fire to produce heat when the room drops to a certain temperature, helping to maintain comfort in your home

While it’s very difficult to make any concrete claims about how efficient electric burners are when weighed up against gas central heating, it is true that you’re perhaps not going to have the wood burner switched on as much as your central heating. Plus, many electric wood burners offer warmth instantaneously compared to central heating systems that can take a while to heat up. Why buy an electric log burner instead of a gas or solid-fuel burner?
