The fireplace category covers the full breadth of indoor heating-and-feature fireplaces beyond the electric-fireplaces sub-category: gas fires, multi-fuel inset suites, freestanding stoves, and decorative bioethanol fireplaces. Aosom UK, Cheaper-Online.co.uk and Cherry Lane Garden Centres between them cover £10-£999 across the range. Decision points: install type (freestanding plug-in, wall-mounted, inset into chimney breast, fitted as part of a media wall), fuel (electric, gas, multi-fuel, bioethanol), and heat output in kW (1kW for ambient warmth in a small lounge, 2kW for a 16-22 sq m living room, 3kW+ for larger rooms or replacing radiators). Most fireplaces ship with two heat settings plus flame-only mode for ambience without raising the temperature. The £150-£400 bracket is where most domestic electric fireplaces sit; gas fires and multi-fuel inset suites push £400-£900. Most installs need a competent electrician (mains-fed) or gas-safe installer (gas).
