Placing An Order FAQs

Will I get confirmation of my order?

As soon as we receive your order, we'll send out confirmation to your email address, this just means we've received your order in our system and we've pre-authorised your payment method ready for your purchase.

I placed my order but did not receive a confirmation email. Why?
If you recently placed your order and didn't immediately receive a confirmation email from us, then there might be a few issues we can look into:

1. Our emails might be going to your junk or spam folder
2. There might have been a misspelling when you entered your email address during checkout
3. Your email server has very strong spam filters and is identifying our emails as spam so the emails aren't going through.

To be on the safe side, we encourage our customers to provide an alternate email to sales@expertfires.co.uk

Electric Fire FAQs

Do I need a chimney or flue if I get an Electric Fire installed?

Electric fires are the future of home fires. They don't emit fumes, so you don't need a chimney or flume to install an electric fire in your house. You simply plug it in and turn it on—then sit back and enjoy your new electric fire!

Who can install my new Electric Fire?

If you are confident in your DIY skills and have access to the correct tools, this should be an easy process for you. Our fires come with a comprehensive user manual that gives clear instructions on how to install the fire yourself. 

If you would like an expert to install your electric fire for you, we recommend using Rated People. This site allows you to find a tradesman in your local area and read reviews from previous customers.

How do I clean my Electric Fire?

Cleaning your electric fire is a breeze, but it's important to follow the steps carefully. Here are some tips to help you keep your fire looking great:

First, make sure the fire is unplugged and has cooled completely before you start cleaning. Using a damp cloth (not wet), gently wipe over the fire.

You can use a standard household glass cleaner on the glass of the fire, but be careful not to use any abrasive cleaners that could damage the fire.

And remember: while our fires are designed to give you warmth and comfort, they should not be used as a primary heat source.
