About this service
This service involves the professional setup of an electric fireplace unit in your home. You need this if you have purchased a new unit and want to ensure it is mounted securely, properly ventilated if required, and safely connected to your electrical system. A technician handles the positioning and wiring to make sure everything functions correctly from the start. We help you avoid common mistakes during the setup process so you can enjoy your new feature immediately.
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 Glendale
What's the downside of an electric fireplace?
The main 'downside' is the lack of actual burning fuel, meaning no real smoke or crackling sound. However, modern units offer incredibly convincing visual effects that can mimic real fire quite well. They also don't require venting, making installation much simpler and cleaner for your Glendale home.
Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?
When used for supplemental heat, they consume electricity similar to a portable space heater. The visual flame effect itself uses very little power, so you can enjoy the ambiance without a significant increase in your energy bill. This makes them an efficient option for atmosphere.
Are electric fireplaces a good idea?
Yes, they are an excellent choice for adding a fireplace feel without the complexities of traditional setups. They are easy to install, provide supplemental heat, and can enhance the aesthetic of any room. For many Glendale homeowners, they offer a convenient and attractive solution for coziness.
What's the most realistic looking electric fireplace?
Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?
An insert is a fantastic way to upgrade an existing, non-functional fireplace or create a focal point without major renovation. It's a simple and efficient method to gain supplemental heat and visual appeal. If your Glendale home has an unused hearth, an insert is a perfect upgrade.
Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?
Most electric fireplaces are designed to plug into a standard 120-volt household outlet, similar to other appliances. This makes installation remarkably easy. For larger units or if you plan to use the heater extensively, it's always best to confirm with the professionals performing the installation.
