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 Riverside

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

The main downside is that they don't produce the same intense heat as a gas or wood fireplace. For a Riverside home, they're best for supplemental heat or just ambiance. You won't get that deep, radiating warmth that can heat a whole house, but they're great for a cozy corner.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

It depends on the model and how you use it. Many units have a thermostat and can be set to just provide flame effects without heat, which uses very little power. For supplemental heating in your Riverside house, the cost is usually comparable to a space heater.

Are electric fireplaces a good idea?

Absolutely, especially for places like Riverside where you might want ambiance without a full chimney or gas line. They're easy to install, safe, and energy-efficient for supplemental heat. Plus, you can move them around if needed.

What's the most realistic looking electric fireplace?

The most realistic ones often feature advanced LED flame technology that mimics real fire very closely. Look for units with multiple flame colors and speeds. The pros can show you options that will look great in your Riverside living room.

Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?

Yes, an insert is a fantastic idea if you already have a fireplace opening you're not using. It's a clean, simple way to add a beautiful electric fireplace without major renovations. It's perfect for updating older hearths in many Riverside homes.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?

Most standard electric fireplaces are designed to plug into a regular 120-volt outlet. Larger, more powerful units might require a dedicated circuit, but the pros can assess your home's electrical setup in Riverside and advise you.
