The size of the fireplace, the heat output capacity, and the materials used for the surround—like stone, wood, or metal finishes—also play a major role in the overall cost.

Frequently asked in Arlington
What is the downside of an electric fireplace?
The primary downside for some is that the heat output might not be as powerful as a gas or wood fireplace, especially in larger Arlington homes. Also, the visual realism of the flame effect, while good, may not fool everyone. However, for ease of use and safety, they are hard to beat.
Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?
The heating function uses electricity, similar to a portable heater. The flame effect itself uses very little, often no more than a few light bulbs. In Arlington's climate, you likely won't need the heat on constantly, so it's generally an efficient way to add warmth and ambiance to a specific room.

Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?
Yes, an electric fireplace insert can be a fantastic way to upgrade an existing, unused fireplace in your Arlington home. It transforms a dormant hearth into a functional and attractive feature. It's a simple solution for adding ambiance and supplemental heat without major renovations.
