TruFlame 50 Inch Electric Fire (Black, Wall Mount/Inset)

Can this fire be installed in a media wall?

Yes, this fire is specifically designed for media wall installation. It can be flush inset mounted for a seamless, built-in appearance. The 14cm depth and front heat flow design make it ideal for modern media walls with TVs and soundbars. The installation allows space to hide plug socket wires behind the fire for a tidy finish. Detailed fitting instructions with illustrations are included.

What are the running costs for the flame effect?

The LED flame effect uses just 5 watts of electricity, making it extremely economical to run. Based on current electricity prices of 50p per kWh, the flame effect costs approximately 1 pence for 4 hours of operation. The flame can operate independently from the heater, allowing year-round use without significant electricity costs. This makes it perfect for creating ambiance without heating.

How do the three flame colours work?

The fire features LED technology that produces three distinct flame colours, each with four brightness levels. This creates twelve different flame combinations to suit your preference or room lighting. The colours can be changed using either the touch panel on the right side of the fire or the included remote control. The LED system provides consistent, realistic flame effects with minimal power consumption.

What fuel media effects are included?

Three complete fuel effect sets come with the fire: realistic logs for a traditional look, contemporary pebbles for modern styling and sparkling crystals for dramatic effect. All three sets are included in the purchase price. Changing between effects is straightforward and takes just minutes. Each creates a different aesthetic behind the black tempered glass front panel.

Is the heater suitable for large rooms?

The fire offers two heat settings: 750W and 1500W, providing up to 5 kilowatts of heat output. The front heat flow design efficiently warms the room without directing heat upwards. A programmable timer allows heating from 30 minutes to 7.5 hours in 30-minute intervals. The heat blows from the front of the fire, making it effective for heating the immediate area.

How quiet is the operation?

The flame-only mode operates completely silently, making it perfect for use whilst watching television or during quiet activities. When the heater is active, the fan operates quietly without significant noise disturbance. The silent flame operation means you can enjoy the ambiance without any background noise, unlike some gas fires that produce operational sounds.

What safety features does this fire include?

A safety thermal cut-off device automatically shuts down the heater if overheating occurs, protecting both the unit and surrounding materials. The front heat flow design prevents heat damage to items mounted above, such as TVs or artwork. The black tempered glass front panel is designed to withstand heat safely. The fire is CE compliant and comes with a 24-month warranty for peace of mind.

How is the fire controlled?

The fire features dual control systems: a touch panel on the right side that disappears when inactive, maintaining the clean appearance and a remote control for convenience. Both provide access to all functions including heat settings, flame colours, brightness levels and timer programming. The touch panel responds instantly to commands, whilst the remote allows operation from across the room.
