About this service

This service focuses on fitting an electric insert into a pre-existing fireplace or custom-built wall opening. 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. It is a straightforward way to refresh your room’s design while adding efficient heating capabilities without needing a professional chimney sweep.

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 Los Angeles

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

While electric fireplaces are convenient, some find the heat output isn't as robust as gas or wood-burning options. Also, the flame effect, while realistic, isn't the same as a real fire. For Los Angeles homes, the ease of installation and lower maintenance often outweigh these minor drawbacks.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

Not necessarily. Many electric fireplaces have a thermostat and can be used with just the visual flame effect, which uses minimal power. When the heater is engaged, it's similar to a space heater. For supplemental warmth in your Los Angeles home, they are quite efficient.

Are electric fireplaces a good idea?

Yes, for many Los Angeles residents. They provide a beautiful focal point and a touch of warmth without the complex installation or venting required for gas or wood fireplaces. Plus, they are safe and easy to operate, making them a great addition to most homes.

What's the most realistic looking electric fireplace?

To get the most realistic flame, look for units with advanced LED technology that offers multiple colors, speeds, and flicker patterns. Some even include sound effects. The quality of the flame is a key factor in how natural it looks in your Los Angeles living space.

Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?

An insert is a fantastic idea if you have an existing fireplace opening. It transforms that unused space into a functional and attractive feature. It's a simpler way to enjoy the benefits of an electric fireplace, especially in homes where a full unit might not fit.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?

Most electric fireplaces are designed to plug into a standard 110/120V outlet, making installation straightforward. This is a huge advantage for Los Angeles homes that may not have specialized wiring. Always confirm the power requirements for your specific model.
