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 Lubbock
What is the downside of an electric fireplace?
The primary limitations are that they don't produce the same intense heat as gas or wood fireplaces, and the flame effect, while realistic, may not be identical to real flames. However, for ambiance and supplemental warmth, they are excellent. They are a great choice for many Lubbock homes.
Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?
