Endeavour Fires Bempton 42" Electric Fireplace Suite (Grey Top/White Hearth/Black Fire)

What are the exact dimensions and will it fit in my room?

The fireplace measures 110cm wide, 102.5cm high and 24cm deep when fully assembled. At 36kg, it's substantial enough to feel premium but manageable for installation. The floor-mount design requires no wall fixings, making it suitable for any room with adequate floor space. Consider allowing extra space around the unit for ventilation and visual balance in your room layout.

How much does it cost to run and is it energy efficient?

The flame effect and LED lighting cost less than £4 per year when used five hours daily. The heater operates at 1-2kW depending on your room's needs, with the thermostatic control automatically adjusting power consumption. Being Eco Design 2018 compliant, it meets strict efficiency standards. The independent operation of flames and heating means you can enjoy the visual effect year-round without heating costs.

How difficult is the assembly process?

Assembly typically takes 2-3 hours with basic DIY skills. The mantle shelf, side panels and hearth arrive pre-assembled, leaving you to attach the remaining panels using supplied screws and dowelling. Clear instructions guide each step and the design allows assembly in your chosen location. Most customers find it straightforward, though taking care not to over-tighten screws prevents panel splitting.

What remote control features are included?

The advanced LCD remote provides comprehensive control including 7-day programming, thermostat settings and temperature sensor readings. Open window detection automatically adjusts heating when sensing temperature drops, whilst adaptive start control pre-heats your room to reach desired temperatures at programmed times. The remote controls both heating and lighting functions with a 4-metre range and two AAA batteries are included.

Can I use the flame effect without the heater?

Yes, the flame effect operates completely independently from the heater, allowing year-round enjoyment without heating costs. You can adjust flame brightness across five levels and choose from 13 LED mood lighting colours. This independence means you can create ambiance during warmer months or when you simply want the visual appeal of flickering flames without additional room heating.

What colour options are available?

Nine combinations are available featuring three surround colours (white, grey, black) paired with three fire finishes (brass, black, chrome). Popular choices include grey top with white hearth and black fire, or white top with grey hearth and brass fire. The variety ensures compatibility with most interior design schemes, from traditional to contemporary styling.

Is the flame effect realistic and quiet?

The coal effect fire creates highly realistic flames with multiple settings for different intensities. Customer reviews consistently praise the authentic appearance, noting it looks like a real coal fire. The fan operates very quietly, eliminating the grating sounds associated with older electric fires. The silent operation ensures the ambiance isn't disrupted by mechanical noise.

What safety features are included?

The thermostatic control prevents overheating by automatically cycling the heater based on room temperature. Open window detection stops unnecessary heating when sensing rapid temperature drops. The unit is fully Eco Design 2018 compliant, meeting strict safety and efficiency standards. The electric operation eliminates risks associated with real fires, whilst the robust construction ensures stable, safe operation.
