The Dimplex TNG20E is a traditionally styled electric stove, a good alternative to traditional wood burning/solid fuel stoves. It features a real coal fuel bed, the realistic moving flame effect Optiflame and opening doors for a realistic look. The flame can be operated with or without heat, making it perfect for use all year round. There's a choice of heat settings, with the controls neatly concealed behind the opening door. Electric fires are very easy to use as there is little or no installation required, and because they run off electric all you need to do is simply plug in and go. There is no annual maintenance required as with gas and they are 100% efficient at point of use.
