About this service
This refers to converting an existing space into an electric heating area. If you have an empty alcove or an old masonry hearth you no longer use, we can fit an electric component inside to provide warmth and ambiance. Factors like electrical outlet proximity and finish work affect the final cost.
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.
