Hi.....Does anyone know if there are any electric fire showrooms/suppliers in the area apart from Ambifuego ?

It's a large built in type were looking for to fit into a false chimney breast !

Any ideas gratefully received.

Many thanks Karen

I wish you luck, but apart from Ambifuego I've never come across a stockist of the type of electric fire you want.

I assume you're aware that if you had an electric fire running on full power, this would make serious inroads into your electric supply capacity. Turn on a couple of rings on the hob, the kettle etc, and you could well trip your smart meter.

Why not buy a gas fire, a lot cheaper to run. Be good if you could get a flue in then there would be no problems. We find two gas fires on the lowest setting get the villa warm enough during the winter. Ceiling fans on low help move the heat around. We do not sleep with them on.

Have no gas supply to the house at the moment and it would be on an inside wall anyway! We did see the perfect fire in Ambifuego but far too expensive !

Trying to find a supplier in UK that'll deliver to Spain is a nightmare! 

Thought we'd done it at one point then within an hour our order was cancelled 😤

Thanks for you help and advice

Gas bottles are not that expensive, 14 Euro around 170 KW. 

There are some companies around that will collect things in the UK and deliver to Spain. Don't know how much they charge.

Good luck.
