Escea has a dedicated in-house Architectural Advisory service, providing free support at both the planning and implementation stages of a project.

‍

The team can assist with reviewing plans, advising on fireplace integration, and resolving technical considerations such as venting, clearances, placement, and finishing materials.

‍

We also provide a full suite of specifier and trade resources — including CAD and BIM files — to support specification, along with CPD and product training for architects and design teams.

Every Escea fireplace is designed and manufactured at our headquarters in Dunedin, New Zealand. Founded in 2002, Escea is proudly locally owned and operated.

Yes. Escea electric fireplaces include a built-in heater, designed to provide supplemental warmth for a home.

‍

Prior to installation, maximum heat output can be set to either 5,100 BTU/hr or 10,200 BTU/hr, depending on your space. The flames can also be used independently — allowing for ambience year-round, with heat when you need it.

Yes. Electric fireplaces are one of the safest fireplace options available.

‍

With no real flame or combustion, there are no emissions, fumes, or open fire risks. Escea electric fireplaces include built-in safety features such as overheat protection, temperature control, and cool-touch glass.

Yes. Alexa and Google Home compatibility is available for select Escea Electric Fireplaces, letting you control your fire with just your voice. To find out if your model is compatible and get started, visit the SmartHeat App page.

‍

Holographic technology captures high-definition, real flame footage and projects it from above onto angled glass, creating the illusion of flames rising directly from the fuelbed beneath.

‍

Unlike traditional electric fireplaces that rely on flat screens or simple lighting effects, this layered projection creates depth, detail, and dynamic movement — so flames appear three-dimensional and more natural.

Yes. Escea fireplaces can be integrated into apartments and multi-residential projects, however the requirements will vary depending on the fuel type and building design.

‍

Electric fireplaces are typically the simplest option. Gas fireplaces are also well suited, though flue pathways must be considered early in the design process. Wood fireplaces are less common due to more stringent or complex vertical flue pathways required.

‍

As regulations vary, it’s best to consult early – our Architectural Advisory team can assist with project-specific advice.

‍

In most cases, no. Electric fireplaces typically don't require building consent, as there’s no venting or gas connection involved. However, requirements can vary depending on your home and location. Electrical work should be completed by aan electrician.

No. Electric fireplaces don't require a flue, chimney, venting, or grills. Because there’s no combustion, there are no emissions to remove — allowing for greater installation flexibility than wood or gas fireplaces.

‍

Escea's freestanding electric fireplaces can be installed with or without a decorative flue. When included, this is purely aesthetic — designed to replicate the look of a traditional wood fire, without serving any functional purpose.

Yes. Electric fireplaces don't require venting and are Zero Clearance rated, so there are fewer restrictions on what can be installed above the fire. They also produce less heat than gas or wood fires, making them well suited to TV-above installations. We recommend placing the TV about 4 inches above the fireplace, however this is not essential.

Escea electric models are designed with controlled heat output and clear installation guidelines to support this. It’s important to follow the installation guide or speak with your Escea retailer to ensure the correct setup.
