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 focuses on pairing a high-end electric firebox with a decorative fireplace surround. You need this when you want the aesthetic of a traditional fireplace with the ease of an electric plug-in. The total cost depends on the materials of the mantle, like stone or wood veneer.

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.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

The electricity usage varies based on whether you're using the heating function or just the flame effect. For ambiance, they are very energy efficient.
