You should use this if you have an old fireplace you no longer use and want to convert it into a clean, functional heat source. We ensure the insert is properly centered and safely wired into your home’s electrical system.

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.

Frequently asked in Cleveland

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

The visual flame effect uses very little electricity, similar to a few light bulbs. The heating function uses more power, akin to a small space heater, but it's designed for efficient zone heating. It's generally cost-effective for localized warmth in Cleveland.

Are electric fireplaces a good idea?

For many Cleveland residents, they are an excellent choice. They offer easy installation, require no venting, and provide immediate visual appeal. They're a safe, convenient, and often more affordable way to enjoy the look of a fireplace without the complexities of traditional setups.

What's the most realistic looking electric fireplace?

The realism of electric fireplaces has improved dramatically. Many units feature advanced 3D flame technology, detailed log sets, and ember beds that closely mimic a real fire. Pros can guide you to brands known for their lifelike effects for your Cleveland home.

Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?

Yes, it's a great idea, especially for existing hearths that aren't in use. An insert can transform an old, unused fireplace into a modern, attractive focal point. It's a cost-effective way to add ambiance and some heat without major structural changes in your Cleveland house.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?

Most electric fireplaces are designed to plug into a standard 120-volt household outlet, simplifying installation. Always check the specific unit's power requirements and ensure your Cleveland home's electrical system is adequate and safe for use.

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

The primary limitation is that they don't produce the same intense heat as a gas or wood-burning fireplace. They're best for supplemental warmth and ambiance in a specific area of your Cleveland home. Some people also find the flame effect less realistic than other types.
