What affects the price

Choosing an electric fireplace involves several variables that shift the final number. Basic units that simply plug into a standard outlet are usually the most budget-friendly. As you move toward models with advanced features like infrared heating, multi-color flame customization, or realistic sound effects, the investment increases. Installation complexity is another major factor; a simple wall-mount unit costs less to set up than a custom recessed fireplace that requires framing or electrical wiring adjustments. High-end materials and larger glass viewing areas also push costs upward. We help you navigate these trade-offs to find the right fit for your home. Your exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

This service is for homeowners looking to convert a drafty wood-burning fireplace into an efficient electric one. You need this when you want to stop burning wood but keep the aesthetic of a fireplace. We carefully measure your existing firebox, handle the necessary electrical hookups, and secure the insert so it fits seamlessly.

This creates a pleasant, relaxing aesthetic for your living room or basement without adding any unwanted heat to your home during the warmer months of the year.

Frequently asked in Columbus

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

Some users find that the flame effect, while visually appealing, doesn't possess the exact same organic movement as a real fire. Additionally, while they provide excellent supplemental heating, they aren't typically powerful enough to be the sole heat source for an entire Columbus residence. They're best for zone heating and ambiance.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

The heating element in an electric fireplace operates at a wattage similar to a space heater, around 1500 watts on its highest setting. However, the realistic flame effect can be run independently and uses very little electricity. So, for ambiance alone, they are quite energy-efficient.

Are electric fireplaces a good idea?

For many in Columbus, they are an excellent idea. They offer vent-free operation, easy plug-in installation, and provide a convincing flame effect with supplemental heat. They are a safe, low-maintenance option that adds significant charm and comfort to any room, making them a popular choice.

What's the most realistic looking electric fireplace?

The realism of electric fireplaces has advanced significantly. Look for models that feature advanced LED technology, creating multi-dimensional flames with adjustable colors and flicker speeds. These advanced units can mimic the natural movement and appearance of real fire very effectively.

Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?

Yes, an electric fireplace insert is a perfect way to revitalize an existing fireplace opening. It's a cost-effective and simple method to gain the visual appeal and warmth of a fireplace without extensive construction. It's a smart upgrade for many Columbus homes looking to enhance their living space.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?

In most cases, yes. Electric fireplaces are designed to plug into a standard 120-volt household outlet, making installation incredibly convenient. This eliminates the need for special wiring, allowing you to enjoy your new fireplace quickly and easily in your Columbus home.
