Electric fireplace
An electric fireplace from Westbo of Sweden gives you the charm and security of a classic cast iron fireplace, but without the need for a chimney or flue installation. With an electric fireplace, you can create that cozy, lively feeling of fire in your living room, hallway or office in just a few minutes – regardless of whether you live in an apartment, villa or holiday home. You simply connect the fireplace to a standard electrical outlet and control it conveniently with the included remote control, making an electric fireplace one of the easiest and most flexible ways to heat and enhance a home.
Electric fireplace – warmth and atmosphere without a chimney
Our electric fireplaces build on the same timeless Swedish design as our wood- and ethanol-fired models. This means that you get a stove in solid cast iron with the same beautiful details, floral patterns and artisanal finishes that have made Westbo of Sweden a well-known name in classic fireplace manufacturing – but with modern technology at the core. The range includes several different electric fireplaces, including Westbo Carl 95 electric, Westbo Classic electric and Westbo Victoria electric, all equipped with a ceramic hob that can be used to heat simple food and drinks. The fireplaces have an output of approximately 2 kW, which is more than enough to heat small to medium-sized spaces while the flame gives a warm and inviting feeling in the room.Maintenance-free heat without ash or fuel
A major advantage of an electric fireplace is that it is completely maintenance-free.
There is no ash to sweep, no wood to handle and no fuel to refill, making it an excellent alternative for those who want the beautiful feeling of an open fire without the practical work that a traditional wood-burning stove entails. The electric stove also provides immediate heat as soon as it is started, and since it heats the area where it is placed, it becomes an energy-efficient complement to the house's regular heating. Many people also choose an electric stove as a way to reduce dependence on electricity or heating costs in a specific room, for example in the bedroom in winter or in a conservatory that is otherwise rarely used.
Easy installation without a chimney or building permit
Installing an electric stove is also significantly easier than installing a wood- or ethanol-fired stove. No chimney, no building permit and no ventilation are required, which means that an electric stove from Westbo of Sweden is just as suitable in a rental apartment as in a newly built villa. You simply avoid the practical obstacles that can otherwise stand in the way of the dream of a real stove in your home, while still retaining the aesthetic experience of a living fire thanks to realistic flame simulations in combination with the stove's classic cast iron design.
