About this service

An insert is designed to fit into an existing masonry fireplace or a custom cabinet. You need this service if you want to modernize an old, unused hearth without the mess of burning logs. Our process involves measuring your current opening, preparing the electrical hookups, and fitting the insert snugly for a seamless appearance. This is a great solution for homeowners who want to retain the look of a traditional fireplace while gaining the convenience of electric heating.

Many people don't realize that electric fireplaces are perfect for summer evenings.

It creates a relaxing mood for entertaining guests or unwinding after a long day without adding any heat to your home.
