Common Electric Fireplace Questions
Why choose an electric fireplace over a traditional fireplace?
Unlike a traditional fireplace, with an electric fireplace you’re able to have direct control over the amount of heat being generated. With just the flick of a switch you’re able to turn off the fireplace. When you turn on a real fireplace, it creates fumes and ash that travel up your chimney and leave residue. With an electric fireplace, nothing is burned and no smoke or fumes are produced, making it very low maintenance. Electric fireplaces can also be used year-round. Because the heat given from the fireplace can be controlled, you can use your fireplaces whether it’s summer or winter.
How do electric fireplaces work?
With an electric fireplace, there’s no need for chimneys or vent pipes. Instead of igniting a real fire, the heat and flames are created directly from electricity. Inside the fireplace, electricity is converted to heat energy then released into the room by a fan.
What is an electric fireplace insert?
Electric fireplace inserts perform the same functions of a freestanding fireplace, such as giving off heat, but are not meant to be used as standalone products. Inserts are placed inside existing hearths and are perfect if you want to convert a gas or wood-burning fireplace into an electric one.
Are electric fireplaces safe?

Do I need a permit to install my electric fireplace?
