Electric Fires

could also put this in home and garden but will try this first, but I know that these usually have a fan to distribute the heat round the room but are there any that are quiet, I have a lovely one and don't use it much cause the noise although its not really really noisl drives me nuts

I would suspect some have quieter fans than others. Apart from reading buyers' reviews I'm unsure how you tell prior to buying though, unless the product details include a noise level in dB.

Convector heaters are quiet....oil-filled radiators are quiet....radiant heaters are quiet...

I bought a lovely fire to go with surround and there should have been heat out of it too. From the day I got it - it went off and cold and very noisy so it puts me off and also puts me off buying a new one.

I think there is a fan inside that blows the little circle thing to give effect of flames which causes the noise so I do think gingebee answer is correct - although very dark and unwelcoming.

I bought my brother last year a fantastic fire - old fashioned type - with 2-3 elements and a fantastic glow - he uses one bar and the glow lights his living room - he told me he wouldn't khow he could have done without it. having said this this wouldnt fit into my surround as it is long but brilliant heat.

One electric firm was charging me nearly £300 and I got it from another firm for £79.99.

I recently bought the one in the link and find it quite good. Yes it does have a fan but I don't find it too noisy. What I like is that it has a thermostat so the fire turns off when the room has reached the temp you set it for and if you only want the fire effect on it only costs 1p for around 9 hours to run but makes the room feel warm.
