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 Orlando
What is the downside of an electric fireplace?
For some Orlando homeowners, the main downsides might be that electric fireplaces don't offer the same intense heat as gas or wood-burning units, and the flame effect, while advanced, may not be as realistic as other options for everyone. However, professionals can show you models that provide significant supplemental heat and highly convincing flame visuals.
Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?
That's a practical question for anyone in Orlando considering an electric fireplace. While they do consume power, many modern units are designed for energy efficiency, especially when used primarily for ambiance. A specialist can explain the typical wattage and how it relates to your home's electrical system, ensuring it's a suitable and safe addition.
Are electric fireplaces a good idea?
Yes, electric fireplaces are a great idea for many Orlando residents. They offer easy installation, require no venting, and can typically be plugged into a standard outlet, making them ideal for apartments, condos, or homes where traditional fireplaces aren't possible. They provide both decorative ambiance and supplemental heat.
What's the most realistic looking electric fireplace?
The realism of electric fireplace flames has improved dramatically, with many new models offering dynamic, 3D flame effects that mimic real fire with adjustable colors and speeds. When you call for your estimate, the expert can guide you toward the units in Orlando that provide the most lifelike and customizable flame appearance for your home.
Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?
An electric fireplace insert is an excellent way to revitalize an existing fireplace opening or create a striking focal point in any room. It's a clean, efficient, and straightforward alternative to traditional inserts. Pros can help you select the right size and style insert to seamlessly integrate into your Orlando home, enhancing its appeal.
Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?
For most electric fireplaces, including inserts, the answer is yes. They are designed to run on standard 120-volt household outlets. However, it's crucial to check the unit's wattage and ensure your home's wiring can safely handle the load. A professional can confirm this for your specific Orlando installation.
