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 Provo
What's the difference between an electric fire and a fireplace?
An electric fire is the component that creates the visual flame effect, while a fireplace is the structure it's housed within. You can get standalone electric fireplaces or electric fireplace inserts designed to fit into existing fireplace openings in Provo. The 'electric fire' is the mechanism for the flames, and the 'fireplace' is the surround or housing unit.
What type of mantel works with an electric fireplace?
For standalone electric fireplaces, you can choose from a wide variety of mantels that suit your decor. If you're using an electric fireplace insert in Provo, the existing fireplace opening and its surround will serve as the frame. Many inserts are designed to fit standard fireplace dimensions. You can also add a decorative mantelpiece around the insert for an enhanced look. Proper sizing is key.
What is a Simplex electric fireplace?
A Simplex electric fireplace likely refers to a unit with a straightforward design and operation. These are typically easy to install and use, focusing on providing a flame effect and basic heating.
