If you’re looking to add some cozy warmth and ambiance to your home this winter, an electric fire can be a stylish and affordable option. With a wide selection of electric fires available, B&Q is a great place to shop for the latest designs and features.
In this comprehensive buying guide, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about purchasing an electric fire at B&Q. Whether you prefer a classic flame effect or a more modern LED display, you’re sure to find the perfect model to suit your style and heating needs.
Where to Find Electric Fires at B&Q
B&Q stores across the UK stock a great range of electric fires in different styles to match any decor. You can browse and purchase in-store at over 300 locations nationwide. The fireplace displays are easy to find, usually in the heating section alongside radiators and other home heating products.
You’ll also find a wide selection of electric fires available to order on the B&Q website for home delivery or click & collect. The online listings make it easy to filter by product features, brand, price, and customer reviews. If you need advice to find the right electric fire, B&Q sales assistants are very knowledgeable and can talk you through the different options.
Types of Electric Fires at B&Q
B&Q offers electric fires in three main styles – wall-mounted, inset, and freestanding:
- Wall-mounted electric fires are slimline designs fixed securely to the wall. They come in standard or curved designs to add a contemporary focal point.
- Inset electric fires fit neatly into a surround for a traditional hearth effect. B&Q sells both front and three-sided inset fires.
- Freestanding electric fires have their own stand so can be positioned anywhere in a room. Some even have adjustable legs for uneven floors.
Within these styles, you’ll find electric fires with different flame effects, fuel beds, and heating features. I’ll cover the options in more detail in the following sections.
Electric Fire Prices at B&Q
As one of the biggest DIY retailers, B&Q offers very competitive pricing on electric fires. Basic models start from £50, with more advanced flame-effect fires ranging from £100 to £300. Higher-end designer electric fires can cost up to £600.

Key Electric Fire Features at B&Q
Now that you know where to browse and typical price points, let’s look at the important features that differentiate electric fire models:
Flame Effects
This is what gives the fire its realistic ambiance. Entry-level fires use optical illusions to simulate flickering flames. LED and 3D flame effects are much more advanced and convincing.
Fuel Beds
The flames rise from a fuel bed at the base, which should match the style of flames. Options include coals, log sticks, pebbles, or just black metal.
Heat Output
Look for a higher wattage (at least 1.5kw) for good heating capacity. Thermostats and multiple heat settings give greater control.
Sound Effects
Crackling wood or coals sounds add to the realism. Higher-end models have adjustable volume.
Remote Controls
Handy for controlling the flames, heat, timer, mood lighting, etc from your armchair.
LED Backlighting
Ambient lighting in a range of colours creates a relaxing glow and highlights the fire.
Safety Features
Look for a glass front for safety. Automatic shut-off if tipped over gives added peace of mind.
By balancing features against price, you can find the right electric fire to create the perfect cosy feature in your home.

Expert Tips for Buying Electric Fires at B&Q
To ensure you select the right electric fire and have a straightforward DIY install, keep these expert insider tips in mind:
- Check the product dimensions upfront – wall fires in particular need to suit your room’s proportions.
- Look for models with fully adjustable flame brightness so you can set the right ambiance.
- Consider the visual appeal from all viewing angles, not just head-on.
- Ensure the heat output suits the size of the room you’re heating.
- Select an appropriate and safe wall mounting height, especially in homes with children.

Taking the time to evaluate the options will ensure your new electric fire becomes a cherished addition rather than a regretted purchase.
