What affects the price

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. Whether you want a simple plug-in insert or a custom-designed media console, the features you prioritize will determine your total.

About this service

This service involves upgrading a wood-burning space to an electric one by installing a permanent electric insert. You need this if you want to keep the aesthetic of your brick opening but want the convenience of a remote-controlled flame. Costs vary based on the specific insert size and any trim kits required.

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.
