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.

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 Stockton

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

The main downside is that their heat output is generally best for supplemental warmth or smaller spaces, rather than serving as the primary heat source for a large Stockton home.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

The flame effect uses minimal electricity, comparable to a small appliance. The heating element uses more power, similar to a standard space heater. Many units allow you to operate the flame effect independently for ambiance, saving energy. Discuss your usage plans with an expert for advice tailored to your Stockton home.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?
