In addition to heating your home in an energy-efficient way, some models of electric fireplaces help keep the air in your home clean by removing particles of dirt and dust floating in the air.

This type of air treatment system uses a filter to catch all the dust and dirt particles, and is designed to clean an average-sized room up to four times an hour.  However, the filter must be replaced periodically, or exchanged for an equivalent-sized furnace filter, to keep the air in your home as clean as possible.

For models manufactured by Dimplex, this clean air treatment system is known as Purifire.

To find out how to replace the air filter in your electric fireplace, no matter what brand you’ve chosen, scan the list of models below that contain this feature for step-by-step instructions. You’ll help keep the air in your home clean, while enjoying the warmth and beauty your electric fireplace provides.
