How much heat does a bioethanol fire give off?
How much heat does a bioethanol fire give off?
In technical terms, bioethanol fireplaces produce around three kilowatt-hours (kWh) of heat when the fuel gauge is fully open. To give you an idea of how hot this is, the average electric fire will generate around 2kWh of heat.
Do bioethanol fires heat a room?
However, what we can say is that an Imagin Bioethanol fireplace will heat an average sized living room by around 3 to 5 degrees. This is approximately the same as having an electric heater on a medium setting. You can of course adjust many of the Biofires so that the flame is larger or smaller.

How efficient is bioethanol?
This differs from petroleum, which is made from plants that grew millions of years ago.

Bioethanol use could reduce GHGs by as much as 86%.
Do bioethanol fires give off heat outside?
Unlike gas and wood burning fireplaces, bioethanol is carbon neutral. The most common miss perception of bioethanol as a source fuel for fireplaces is that it doesn’t provide heat. This is certainly not the truth. There are many bioethanol fireplaces that produce more heat than wood or gas fireplaces.
Why is bioethanol so expensive?
The two main influences of how much it costs to run a bioethanol fireplace are the cost of the fuel and how far open the fuel box slider is; your bioethanol fire slider can be 1/4 open, half open or fully open and this will make a difference to how much fuel you use.
How long will a Litre of bioethanol burn for?
4 hours
Usually, one litre of bioethanol fuel will last for 4 hours if it is burning on the maximum heat setting. However, if you burn the bioethanol fuel on a minimum setting then the fuel can burn for up to 8 hours.
Do ethanol fireplaces put out heat?
Are Ethanol Fireplaces Warm? Ethanol fireplaces are very aesthetically pleasing, but they are also great at producing heat. There are many different models of burners which will have a larger or smaller flame, which will impact the heat output.
Does a bioethanol fire need a chimney?
