Endeavour Fires New Cayton Electric 42" Fireplace (Chrome, Off-White MDF)

How much does the flame effect cost to run?

The LED flame effect costs less than £1.50 per year on standard UK electricity tariffs when used for 5 hours daily throughout the year. This extremely low running cost makes it practical to enjoy the ambiance year-round without significant impact on electricity bills. The LED technology is highly energy-efficient compared to traditional flame effects.

Can I use the flame effect without the heater?

Yes, the flame effect operates completely independently from the heating function. You can enjoy the realistic LED flames and 13-colour mood lighting throughout the year without generating heat. This feature is particularly useful during warmer months when you want the cosy atmosphere without additional room heating.

What heating power settings are available?

The fireplace offers two heating modes: 1kW and 2kW output. The thermostatic remote control automatically switches between these settings based on room temperature requirements. The quiet fan heating distributes warmth through the front outlet and the system includes open window detection to prevent energy waste when windows are opened.

How difficult is the assembly process?

Assembly is straightforward using the supplied screws and dowelling system. The mantel arrives in flat-pack form with clear instructions and most customers complete assembly within 2-3 hours. The fire unit installs separately into the assembled mantel. Take care not to overtighten screws as the MDF material can split if excessive force is applied.

What are the exact dimensions of this fireplace?

The complete suite measures 103.3cm wide, 106.7cm high and 32.5cm deep. The fire unit itself is 51cm wide, 60.5cm high and 19.7cm deep. These dimensions make it suitable for most standard living rooms whilst creating an impressive focal point. The total weight is 40kg when fully assembled.

Does the remote control require batteries?
