Frequently asked in Albuquerque

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

While they're convenient, some users find the flame effect less authentic than a real fire.

The pros can walk you through these considerations during your free quote. They'll help you decide if it's the right fit.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

The heat setting will consume electricity, similar to other electric heaters. However, the flame effect alone uses minimal power, so you can enjoy the ambiance without significant energy use.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?
