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 involves replacing an old gas or wood fireplace with an electric unit that retains the original structure. You need this to reduce maintenance while keeping your room's original architecture. Factors affecting the price include the extent of the demolition and the new trim work needed.

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. 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 Omaha

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

The main drawbacks are that they don't produce the same intense heat as gas or wood fireplaces, and some people find the flame effect less realistic. They also use electricity, which adds to your utility bill, although many are quite energy-efficient for supplemental heat. They are best for ambiance and moderate warming rather than primary heating.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

The flame effect itself uses very little electricity, comparable to a few LED light bulbs. The heating element is what consumes more power, similar to a portable space heater.

Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?
