About this service

This term describes the process of placing an electric heating element inside an existing fireplace opening. If your chimney is drafty or damaged and you want to use the space for heat, this service is for you. We seal the chimney flue and install the electric unit to create a clean, efficient heating source. Price depends on the amount of prep work required for your current opening.

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.
