Flameko Avena 153cm Inset Electric Fireplace (Black, Multi Flame)

Can I mount a TV above this electric fireplace?

Yes, the Flameko Avena is specifically designed to be safe for TV mounting above the unit. The cool-touch glass front and efficient heat distribution prevent excessive heat from affecting mounted televisions. This makes it perfect for media wall installations where the fireplace and TV create an integrated entertainment centre.

What are the exact dimensions for recessed installation?

The fireplace measures 152.5cm wide, 45cm high and 14cm deep. For recessed installation, you'll need to create an opening slightly larger than these dimensions to accommodate the unit. The 25mm trim will cover any small gaps around the edges, providing a professional finished appearance when properly installed.

How do the nine flame colour options work?

The LED flame system offers nine distinct colour settings controlled via the infrared remote. You can cycle through colours including traditional orange, blue, purple, red and other ambient colours. Each colour creates different moods and can be adjusted for brightness levels, allowing you to match your room's lighting or seasonal preferences.

Does the heating function work independently from the flame effects?

Yes, the heating and flame functions operate completely independently. You can enjoy the visual flame effects year-round without heat, or use the 750W/1500W heating modes with or without flames. This flexibility allows ambiance creation during summer months and efficient heating during colder periods without compromising the visual appeal.

How quiet is the heating operation?

The Flameko Avena features exceptionally quiet heating operation that won't interfere with conversation, television viewing, or relaxation. The internal fan system is engineered for minimal noise output whilst maintaining efficient heat distribution. Many users report the heating function is virtually silent during normal operation.

What's included with the crystal and log fuel bed options?

Both fuel bed sets are included with your purchase. The crystal stone set creates contemporary sparkle effects that reflect the LED flames beautifully. The log set provides traditional fireplace appearance with realistic wood textures. Both options are easy to swap out, allowing you to change the look seasonally or match different room styles.

Is professional installation required?

Professional installation isn't mandatory, but may be preferred for recessed mounting. The unit includes mounting feet for freestanding use and wall brackets for direct wall mounting. However, recessed installation requires cutting wall openings and electrical connections, which many homeowners prefer to have completed by qualified electricians or carpenters for safety and warranty purposes.

What safety certifications does this fireplace have?

The Flameko Avena holds UKCA and CE certifications, confirming compliance with UK and European safety standards. It's also Eco Design 2018 compliant for environmental responsibility. Safety features include overheat protection, cool-touch glass and efficient LED technology that eliminates real flame hazards whilst providing realistic visual effects.
