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.
