It creates a relaxing mood for entertaining guests or unwinding after a long day without adding any heat to your home.

Frequently asked in New York

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

The main downside is that they don't produce true heat like a gas or wood fireplace; they primarily offer ambiance with a heating element. Some models might not look as realistic as other types to certain eyes. However, for many New York apartment dwellers, the lack of venting and ease of use outweigh these minor drawbacks.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

Electric fireplaces use electricity to power the flame effect and the heater. The flame effect uses minimal energy, comparable to a few light bulbs. The heater uses more, similar to a space heater, but it's generally efficient for heating a single room in your New York home.

Are electric fireplaces a good idea?

Yes, electric fireplaces are a great idea, especially in New York City where traditional fireplaces might not be feasible. They offer easy installation, require no venting, and are energy-efficient for supplemental heating. Plus, they provide a cozy atmosphere without the mess or maintenance of wood or gas.

What's the most realistic looking electric fireplace?

The realism of electric fireplaces has come a long way. Look for models with 3D flame effects that use LED lights and water vapor to create a lifelike fire. Many New York homeowners find units with adjustable flame colors and speeds, and realistic log sets, to be the most convincing.

Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?

An electric fireplace insert is an excellent idea if you have an existing, non-functional fireplace in your New York apartment or house. It's a cost-effective way to add warmth and ambiance without major renovations. You can easily transform an outdated hearth into a modern, convenient focal point.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?

Most electric fireplaces can be plugged into a standard 120-volt household outlet, making installation simple in most New York residences. Larger or more powerful units might require a dedicated circuit. The pros who come out can assess your electrical setup to ensure safety.
