The reason that different brands of bio-ethanol fire differ in price goes back to the first point we mentioned, quality. If you have seen a cheap fire online then don’t wonder why the others are more expensive but rather, why is that one so cheap? Low-cost products are usually poor quality & lack the level of technology which is present in the more premium brands. By buying from a premium brand such as Planika or Chesneys you are guaranteed a much safer product and user-friendly experience.

Both Planika and Chesneys bio-ethanol fires are remote controlled, offering a safer & easier experience. Planika, in particular, has super intelligent technology. This starts with the re-fuelling process, which is automatically done by the fire. The fire will automatically stop once it has reached its capacity which feels safe and takes the guesswork out of whether you have overfilled the tank. It’s also powered by BEV technology which means the fire has no direct contact with the fuel. 

This works by the device drawing only a small, necessary portion of fuel from the tank and transporting it to the vapour generator. There, a small amount of fuel is heated until it reaches a temperature where it turns into vapour, which is distributed throughout the burner and then burned. 

The fire also cleverly has a microprocessor which communicates with several sensors inside the fireplace & controls its entire operation. The fire will inform you of any activity with an audible signal and a message on the app. So, whether the fire needs refuelling, is too hot to re-fuel or has a technical fault, you will always be kept informed.

Before buying a bio-ethanol fire we would strongly urge you to see it and feel it in a local fireplace showroom & ensure to purchase from an authorised dealer of the product. Ask your questions to the experts and ensure you are buying a quality product that is going to offer the best & most enjoyable experience as well as providing longevity and optimal safety.
