Impeccable design and technology combine in Rinnai’s new range of electric fireplaces

Curling up in front of the fireplace is one of life’s simple pleasures. Add elegant design, smart controls and realistic flames, and you’ve got a cosy set-up that ticks all your aesthetic and sustainability-focused boxes.

“Gone are the days when fireplaces were solely functional. Today, they serve as focal points, enhancing the aesthetics of a home. Electric fireplaces effortlessly blend form and function, offering a raft of design options to suit any style. Unlike their traditional counterparts, electric fireplaces require no chimneys or venting, making them versatile and easy to install in any room of your home — a popular choice for homeowners looking to enhance their living spaces,” says Alice Wu of Rinnai.

With their new range of premium electric fireplaces, Rinnai has something for everyone — from those looking for traditional charm to those after a sleek, modern aesthetic. ArchiPro caught up with Alice Wu to learn more.

Explore the range

Available in six different models, the collection offers a design to fit almost any interior design style.

For a touch of farmhouse chic, the ES 750 is a gorgeous electric fire that combines the nostalgic feel of a traditional fireplace with the convenience of modern technology.

“Designed to fit seamlessly into any contemporary or traditional setting, the ES 750 is the perfect addition to your living room, bedroom, or office. It boasts three independently controlled lighting effects, allowing you to create the perfect atmosphere for any occasion,” Alice says.

Catering to more contemporary interiors, the ES 1000, ES 1300, ES 1500, ES 1800, and ES 2200 cover all bases.

“The ES 1000 is the epitome of versatility. Whether you prefer an inset, panoramic (three-sided), or corner aspect, this electric fire has you covered. It seamlessly blends into any space, allowing you to create the perfect fireplace that complements your unique style and vision. With three independently controlled lighting effects, you have the freedom to customise the ambience to suit your preference,” Alice explains.  

Ideal for a media wall set-up, or a room where the fireplace is the main attraction, look no further than the ES 1500. Its sleek design and realistic flames instantly add a touch of luxury to any room. 

“Whether you're looking to update your existing space or create a contemporary dream home, this fire is the ideal choice. Not only does the ES 1500 offer stunning visuals, but you also have the freedom to choose the perfect placement in your space. It offers the flexibility to install the electric fireplace as an inset, 3-sided, or corner configuration,” Alice says.

Spanning an impressive 1.8 metres, the ES 1800 is a great choice for larger rooms, and can again be configured to fit corner, three-sided, or inset installations.

Finally, Alice adds, the Rinnai ES 2200 is the best way to enjoy the sights and sounds of a fire at just the push of a button. 

“This electric fireplace is easy, convenient, and effortless. What sets the Rinnai ES 2200 apart is its three independently controlled lighting effects. You have full control over the speed, colour, and brightness of the flames, allowing you to customise the ambience to suit your mood and preferences. Whether you prefer a vibrant and lively fire or a calm and soothing one, this electric fire can deliver.”

Relax in style with a Rinnai fireplace

Featuring advanced flame technology that accurately mimics real fire, smart controls for integration with your home systems, and enhanced safety including cool-touch glass, the range is suitable for almost any application — so, dream big!

“Electric fireplaces have transcended their utilitarian roots to become stylish, convenient, and environmentally conscious additions to modern homes. With a focus on aesthetics, technological innovation, and customisation, these electric fireplace solutions offer a perfect blend of form and function, providing homeowners with a cosy and chic alternative to traditional fireplaces,” Alice says.

Of course, a fireplace in the living room is an obvious (and great) choice, but true luxury comes with a fireplace in the bedroom; the gentle glow and flickering flames are a perfect way to create an atmosphere of utter relaxation. Alice also suggests installing a fireplace in your home office, or commercial spaces like cafes, restaurants, hotels, and B&Bs.

“The Rinnai ES Series provides a complete range of options to create the ultimate fireplace that will transform any home, adding a touch of luxury perfectly tailored to reflect the homeowner's unique style. With sizes ranging from 750mm to 2.2 metres, the Rinnai ES Electric Fire range offers options to transform any space, fitting seamlessly into any design aesthetic.”
