About this service
An electric fire insert is a self-contained unit that replaces your old fireplace logs or gas burners. It creates a realistic flame effect using LED lighting and includes a heater to warm the surrounding area. This is the right choice if you have a masonry or prefab fireplace that is no longer functional. It provides a clean, vent-free way to enjoy the ambiance of a fire while keeping your home comfortable during cooler months of the year.
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.
