Maintenance Tips for Your Electric Fireplace Suite: Keeping It in Top Shape

Electric fireplace suites are some of the best things you can buy for your home. These hardworking heroes help keep your home toasty during colder months and can be used without heat all year round if you simply want to enjoy the colourful flames for mood-setting or special occasions.

But of course, an electric fireplace suite is just like any appliance — it requires regular upkeep for smooth operations and long-lasting service. Read on for tips for maintaining your unit to keep it in optimum shape.

Routine dusting and cleaning

Remember to turn off the electric fire and let the heating element cool down before doing any cleaning.

Make it a habit to dust the electric fireplace suite’s exterior to prevent dust from accumulating on the surface and entering the unit. A spotless glass will also make your unit look brand new. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. For stubborn spots, use a mild mixture of vinegar and water or a specially formulated glass cleaner for electric fireplace suites.

It’s also a good idea to occasionally vacuum the interior to remove any dust buildup. Use the soft brush attachment of your vacuum and carefully clean around the fans and heating element. Removing the dust from these areas will ensure sufficient airflow and reduce the risk of overheating.

Check for problems

Cleaning an electric fireplace suite is also a chance to check for any issues, such as burned-out bulbs that need replacing. Don’t forget to regularly inspect the fan and heater for signs of damage or wear.

Clean the fuel bed components.

High-quality electric fireplace suites have a fuel bed with a log set, crystals, coals, pebbles, and vermiculite to provide a realistic and immersive viewing experience. These items can accumulate dust over time, too, so be sure to wipe them with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. You should also remove them before vacuuming the fireplace’s interior.

Have the right cleaning supplies.

Quality cleaning supplies will help your electric fireplace suite look great for years. A microfibre cloth is ideal for dusting, while a homemade vinegar and water or fireplace glass cleaner is ideal for cleaning the glass. A gentle scrub brush can safely remove tough stains or grime without scratching any surface.
