Understanding Electric WIFI Fires
An electric WIFI fire is a modern heating solution that combines the aesthetic appeal of a traditional fireplace with the cutting-edge convenience of smart control. Unlike traditional wood-burning or gas fires, these units require no chimney or venting, making them incredibly versatile for any room in your home. The "WIFI" element allows you to control every aspect of the fire—from flame colour to heat output—directly from your smartphone or via voice commands through Alexa and Google Home.
Key Factors to Consider
When selecting the right model for your home, you should focus on three main areas: Size, Style, and Functionality.
- Size: Measure your wall space carefully. Models like the Valenti 1200 are perfect for standard 50" media walls, while larger 60" or 80" models create a more dramatic, panoramic effect.
- Flame Display: Look for "UHD" or "3D" displays. The best fires offer multiple flame colours (often 12 or more) and adjustable brightness to match your mood.
- Heat Output: Most electric fires offer a 1kW to 2kW output, which is ideal for taking the chill off a room. Crucially, the best models allow you to enjoy the flame effect without the heat during warmer months.
The Valenti vs. The Strada Series
At Enzio Designs, two of our most popular ranges are the Valenti and the Strada. While both offer premium UHD displays and WIFI control, they cater to different design preferences.
| Feature | Valenti Series | Strada Series |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Slimline & Panoramic | Deep & Dramatic |
| Glass | Full Glass Front | Full Glass Front |
| Installation | 1, 2, or 3-Sided | 1, 2, or 3-Sided |
| Visuals | 3D UHD Flame Display | Deep 3D UHD Display |
| Smart Control | WIFI, Alexa, Google Home | WIFI, Alexa, Google Home |
The Valenti Series is known for its sleek, slimline profile, making it the go-to choice for modern media walls where space-saving is key. On the other hand, the Strada Series offers a deeper fuel bed, providing a more traditional, "sunken" look that adds incredible depth to the visual display.
Installation Options: 1, 2, or 3-Sided?
One of the biggest advantages of modern electric fires from Enzio Designs is their versatility. Most of our premium models, including the Valenti 1200, offer a "Panoramic Full Glass" design that can be installed in four different ways:
- Front-Facing (1-Sided): Recessed into a wall for a clean, flush look.
- Corner (2-Sided): Perfect for the end of a media wall or a room divider.
- Panoramic (3-Sided): Offers a full 180-degree view of the flames, creating a stunning focal point.
- Floated: Mounted on the wall without being recessed for a modern, "hanging" aesthetic.
Smart Features: Alexa, Google Home, and Beyond
The "WIFI" in our fires isn't just a gimmick—it’s about total control. By connecting your fire to your home network, you can:
- Voice Control: Simply say, "Alexa, turn on the fireplace," to set the mood instantly.
- App Control: Use a free mobile app to change flame colours, adjust heat, or set a weekly timer from anywhere in the house.
- Customization: Switch between modern crystals or realistic logs (both included with the Valenti series) to change the look of your fuel bed in minutes.
