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.

Frequently asked in Long Beach

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

The primary drawback is that they don't provide the same level of intense heat as wood or gas fireplaces. They're excellent for supplemental heating or creating ambiance in a room, but not typically for heating an entire large home. The pros can help you gauge the heating capacity for your Long Beach space.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

The visual flame effects use very little power, similar to running a lamp. The heating element uses more, comparable to a portable space heater. Pros can break down the energy consumption for you, considering the size of the unit and how often you plan to use the heater in your Long Beach home.

Are electric fireplaces a good idea?

For many in Long Beach, they're an excellent choice! They offer the aesthetic appeal of a fireplace without the need for gas lines, chimneys, or wood storage. Installation is generally straightforward, and they provide a cozy atmosphere. Discuss your home's specific characteristics with the specialists.

What's the most realistic looking electric fireplace?

Advancements in technology have made electric fireplaces incredibly lifelike. Look for models with multi-dimensional flame effects, realistic log sets, and adjustable ember beds.

Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?

Yes, an insert is a fantastic way to update an existing fireplace opening. It can breathe new life into an outdated or unused hearth, providing a beautiful focal point and supplemental heat. It's often much simpler and less expensive than a full fireplace renovation in your Long Beach property.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?

Most electric fireplaces are designed to plug into a standard 120-volt household outlet. However, it's important to ensure the circuit can handle the load, especially if you intend to use the heater frequently. The professionals can advise on proper electrical setup for your Long Beach residence.
