Benefits:
You can have a fire even if you don't have a chimney
The beauty of an Electric Stove is that it allows those without a chimney to enjoy the coziness of a lovely warm fire. Nothing is being burnt with an electric fire so there's no need for a chimney to funnel away the gases, another consequential benefit of this is that your electric stove can be put virtually anywhere in your home.
No cleanup
Electric stoves don't have a grate that requires to be cleaned or ash to shovel away, meaning their maintenance is simple and easy and no chimney that needs to be swept. This maintenance although not tiresome on solid fuel appliances, may not be convenient for every homeowner so an Electric Stove may be the more simplistic choice.
100% Efficiency
Electric fires don't emit heat in the same way as solid fuel appliances and they can be classed as 100% efficient as there's no heat being wasted in burning off the gas produced from the fuel. Electric stoves can generally have higher operating costs through the use of electric heating, but the 100% efficiency can compensate for this as you're getting all the heat you're paying for.
No Harmful Gases
It is undeniable that solid fuel and gas flames produce hazardous gases such as Carbon Monoxide. These emissions are vented away when the appliance and chimney system is properly set up and maintained, so they don't become a problem. However, there are many factors such as the fuel type and moisture, running the appliance at a safe temperature, and the quality of the installation which can affect the efficiency of the removal of those gases.
With Electric fires, you don't have to worry about this as it's a very different type of heating, and with no emissions, they may be an option if you're living in a smoke-free zone.
