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.

We carefully measure your existing firebox, handle the necessary electrical hookups, and secure the insert so it fits seamlessly. This upgrade provides a modern heating solution that is easy to control and requires virtually no cleaning, making your living room more comfortable and convenient.

Many people do not realize you can use an electric fireplace all summer. Most models allow you to turn off the heating element entirely while keeping the flame effects running.
