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 Gilbert

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

The main downside is they don't produce the same intense heat as a gas or wood fireplace, and the flame effect, while improved, isn't always as realistic. For Gilbert homeowners, they're best for supplemental heat and ambiance rather than primary heating. You'll want to consider the size of the room and your heating goals when choosing one for your home.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

It depends on how you use them. The flame effect uses very little power, comparable to a few light bulbs. The heater setting uses more, similar to a space heater, so running it constantly might increase your electricity bill in Gilbert. However, they are generally more efficient than you might think for supplemental warmth.

Are electric fireplaces a good idea?

Yes, for many Gilbert residents, they're a great idea. They offer ambiance, supplemental heat, and are easy to install – often just plugging into a standard outlet. They're a safe and convenient option for apartments or homes where a traditional fireplace isn't feasible. You get the look and feel without the maintenance.

What's the most realistic looking electric fireplace?

Look for units with higher-definition flame effects, often using LED technology with multiple color options and adjustable flame speed. Some models even include crackling sound effects. The best realism often comes with higher-end units, and discussing your preferences with a pro can help you find the perfect fit for your Gilbert home.

Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?

Absolutely, if you already have a traditional fireplace that you don't use or want to convert. An insert provides the electric fireplace benefits without needing major structural changes. It's an efficient way to repurpose existing space in your Gilbert home and enjoy the ambiance and supplemental heat.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?

Most smaller and mid-sized electric fireplaces can be plugged into a standard 120-volt outlet. Larger, more powerful units might require a dedicated 240-volt circuit, especially if you plan to use the heater extensively. A pro can assess your home's wiring to ensure safe and efficient operation in Gilbert.
