About this service

Many people don't realize that electric fireplaces are perfect for summer evenings. Since you can turn off the heating element entirely, you can keep the aesthetic charm of the fireplace running on a warm night. It creates a relaxing mood for entertaining guests or unwinding after a long day without adding any heat to your home.

Frequently asked in Gilbert

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

The main downside is that they don't produce the same intense heat as a gas or wood fireplace, and the flame effect, while improving, isn't always as realistic. However, for supplemental heat and ambiance, they're excellent. They're a great fit for many Gilbert homes.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

Generally, no. The heating element uses power similar to a space heater, but the flame effect uses very little. You can often run just the flame for ambiance without the heat. This makes them a cost-effective option for your Gilbert residence.

Are electric fireplaces a good idea?

Yes, for many people they are. They're easy to install, safe, and provide instant heat and ambiance. They're ideal for apartments or homes where traditional fireplaces aren't feasible. Consider one for your Gilbert home if you want convenience.

What's the most realistic looking electric fireplace?

Look for units with advanced LED technology that creates multi-dimensional flames with varying colors and flicker patterns. Some higher-end models even have realistic log sets. The pros can guide you on the best options available in Gilbert.

Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?

Absolutely. An insert is a fantastic way to update an existing fireplace opening without a full renovation. It's a simple way to get the benefits of an electric fireplace. This is a popular choice for homeowners in Gilbert.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?

Most electric fireplaces can be plugged into a standard 15-amp or 20-amp outlet. This makes installation incredibly easy. Always check the unit's specifications, but for most models, it's a straightforward plug-and-play setup.
