Built to slot neatly into a wall or media unit, this Costway 86 cm recessed electric fireplace insert is a value-focused electric heater that combines flame ambience with real warmth for rooms up to 30 m². Nine flame brightness levels and an adjustable 18°C to 36°C temperature let you fine-tune both look and heat from the panel or the remote. It delivers up to 5000 BTU of heat with two settings, a 1800 W high mode for fast warming and a 900 W low mode for gentle, economical heat. On high it costs around 47p per hour at 26p/kWh, dropping to roughly 23p per hour on low, in line with similar fan-driven electric inserts; as a direct-acting electric heater it turns essentially all the power it draws into instant warmth, unlike slower oil-filled radiators. A flame-only mode lets you enjoy the fire effect year-round with no heat and minimal electricity use. Overheat protection keeps your family safe, and the unit runs quietly so it won't intrude on a living room. With its recessed design and large 83 x 26 cm flame screen, it is made to be built in for a sleek, fitted look. In the box you get the electric fireplace, remote control and instruction manual.
