Last updated: September 24, 2026
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.

About this service
Installing an electric fireplace insert involves placing a heater unit directly into an existing masonry fireplace or a custom-built mantel. This is the perfect solution if you have an old, drafty fireplace that you no longer want to use for burning wood. We seal the area, ensure the electrical connection is safe, and fit the insert perfectly into the opening. You need this when you want to convert an old hearth into a clean, modern, and low-maintenance heating source.
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.
