What is an electric fireplace?

Electric Fireplaces are electric heaters that are designed to look like wood- or gas-burning fireplaces. They create a fire-like atmosphere and provide warmth like traditional fireplaces. Operating an electric fireplace is similar to operating an electric space heater. In general, you simply unbox it, slide it into your fireplace opening, connect it to the wall, and you're done! 

We're seeing more and more requests to convert a gas fireplace to an electric fireplace.

Why convert a gas fireplace to an electric one?

Our customers are telling us the following reasons for getting rid of their gas fireplaces:

  • Old fashioned gas fireplaces emit an unpleasant odor during combustion, which is accentuated in smaller spaces. There is also a lot of water vapor produced. The walls and windows of the room will become condensed as a result.
  • It’s too expensive to update the old gas fireplace. Although a gas fireplace is slightly less expensive to run, it will take some years to recover the installation cost.
