Electric Fires Cork — No Chimney Required
Electric fires are the ideal heating solution for Cork homes without a chimney or flue — and increasingly, for homeowners who simply want the beauty of a fire without the maintenance. At Beacon Fires, we stock a wide range of electric fires, from realistic inset models to freestanding electric stoves and wide landscape fires designed for media walls.
Why Choose an Electric Fire?
Electric fires have come a long way. Today's models feature highly realistic flame effects, multiple heat settings, and remote controls — all without the need for a flue, chimney, or gas supply. They're quick to install, clean to use, and can be placed almost anywhere in your home.
Reimagine your fireplace
Inset Electric Fires
Inset electric fires fit into an existing fireplace opening or a purpose-built recess, giving you the look of a traditional built-in fire with none of the installation complexity. Our inset range includes single-sided and panoramic models in a range of sizes and finishes
Landscape & Media Wall Fires
Wide landscape electric fires are designed to be the centrepiece of a media wall or feature wall. They typically range from 800mm to 1800mm wide and create a dramatic, gallery-style fire effect. Perfect for open-plan Cork living rooms.
Are Electric Fires Expensive to Run?
A typical electric fire in Ireland costs approximately €0.40–€0.60 per hour to run at full heat output. Many models allow you to use the flame effect only — with no heat — at minimal cost. Compared to gas and solid fuel, electric fires are low maintenance and have no annual service requirements.
Electric Stoves
For those who love the look of a traditional stove but don’t want the flue requirements, our electric stove range delivers the same visual impact with simple plug-in installation. Available in freestanding and inset formats.
