What are the most realistic electric fires on the market? And are they easy to install or should an electrician, do it?
Expert Trade Answers
"There is such a vast range of very realistic Electric fires out there.
You can pick up a good one for between £100-£150.
If you can get a Black Friday Deal you can pick up a Bargain.
Alot of them are Energy efficient now.
I would definitely recommend using a qualified Electrician like me, as a fused spur should be fitted to power it.
Call me when you find that Bargain.
Kind Regards
Hugh."

"most of these fireplaces come with a 13 amp plug fitted to them, so long as you have a socket adjacent to them that you can plug into, no you do not need an electrician. But the actual assembly of the unit surround could be a little tasking"
