What affects the price

Choosing an electric fireplace involves several variables that influence your final investment. Generally, basic wall-mounted units are the most budget-friendly options. Prices typically rise when you select built-in models that require framing, or units featuring advanced flame technology and realistic ember beds. 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. Whether you want a simple plug-in insert or a custom-designed media console, the features you prioritize will determine your total. Give us a ring to discuss your space, and get exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

An insert is a box designed to slide into a pre-existing wall opening. You need this when you have an empty hole in your wall or an old firebox that needs a functional upgrade. Prices change based on the unit’s dimensions, heat capacity, and flame customization settings.

Many people assume fireplaces are only for cold weather, but electric models offer year-round aesthetic benefits. During the summer, you can turn off the heating element entirely and simply enjoy the ambiance of the dancing flames. It adds a sophisticated touch to your decor during evening gatherings without adding any unwanted warmth.
