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.

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 Lubbock

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

The main limitation is that electric fireplaces offer less intense heat than traditional wood or gas fireplaces. They're excellent for ambiance and supplemental warmth in a room in Lubbock, but they typically won't heat an entire house. While flame effects have improved significantly, some may still prefer the authenticity of a real wood fire.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

No, the flame effect itself uses very little energy, comparable to running a few light bulbs. The heater function uses more electricity, similar to a space heater. For a home in Lubbock, it's an energy-efficient way to add localized warmth and atmosphere without a significant impact on your utility bills.

Are electric fireplaces a good idea?

Yes, they are an excellent idea for many Lubbock homes, particularly those that cannot easily accommodate gas or wood-burning fireplaces. They offer instant ambiance, are simple to operate, and can be a safe and cost-effective way to add comfort to a room. Modern units provide very convincing flame effects.

What's the most realistic looking electric fireplace?

The most realistic electric fireplaces often feature advanced LED technology for multi-dimensional flames and detailed, life-like logs. Look for models that allow you to adjust flame color, speed, and brightness. Many high-end units available in Lubbock are designed to closely mimic the look and feel of a real wood fire.

Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?

An electric fireplace insert is a great choice for upgrading an existing, non-functional fireplace in Lubbock. It's a clean, efficient, and simple way to introduce the charm and convenience of an electric fireplace without the complexities of gas line installation or chimney work. It can completely transform your living space.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?

Most electric fireplaces are designed to plug into a standard 110-volt outlet, making installation incredibly straightforward for a Lubbock home. Larger units with powerful heaters might require a dedicated circuit. The licensed professionals will confirm the best electrical setup for your chosen fireplace during your free estimate.
