A bioethanol fireplace is known for its sleek design and ease of use. But a question that often comes up is: how much does it actually cost to use a bioethanol fireplace?
On average, the cost is between €0.50 and €2.00 per hour. The exact price depends on the type of fireplace, its consumption, and how intensively you use it.
In this blog, we explain where these costs come from and how you can easily gain insight into them.
How much bioethanol does a fireplace consume?
The consumption of a bioethanol fireplace averages between 0.2 and 0.5 litres per hour. This is mainly determined by the size of the burner.
In practice, you can estimate:
- 0.2 – 0.3 litres per hour for compact fireplaces (such as tabletop models)
- 0.3 – 0.4 litres per hour for medium-sized fireplaces
- 0.4 – 0.5 litres per hour for larger design fireplaces
Smaller fireplaces are often chosen for ambiance, while larger models provide a more powerful flame and more heat.
What determines the costs?
The cost of a bioethanol fireplace depends not only on its consumption but also on how you use it.
The main factors are:
- the size of the burner
- the height of the flame
- the quality of the bioethanol
When the flame is set higher, the fireplace consumes more fuel. By setting the flame a little lower, you can easily limit consumption without losing the ambiance.
Is a bioethanol fireplace expensive to use?
In practice, the costs are manageable for many users. If you use the fireplace for a few hours per evening, for example, the total costs remain relatively limited.
For comparison:
- 2 hours of use per evening → approximately €1 to €4
- 5 evenings per week → approximately €20 to €80 per month
On the other hand, a bioethanol fireplace does not require installation, a gas connection, or a chimney. This makes it an accessible and flexible solution.
Which fireplace suits your use?
The choice of a fireplace strongly depends on how you want to use it.
For different situations, people often choose:
- a compact fireplace when ambiance is central
- a medium-sized model for daily use
- a larger design fireplace for a powerful visual effect
