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.

Frequently asked in Santa Ana

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

The main disadvantage is that electric fireplaces don't provide the same intense heat or authentic visual as a gas or wood-burning fireplace. While they offer ambiance and supplemental warmth, they won't be the primary heat source for a large Santa Ana home. The pros can advise on their heating capacity.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

The heating element of an electric fireplace consumes electricity, much like a space heater, so it does use power when heating. However, the visual flame effect uses very little energy. If you're mainly using it for aesthetics, your electricity bill will see minimal impact. Call for a quote.
