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.

Are electric stoves a viable option for heating in San Francisco?

While electric stoves are primarily cooking appliances, some portable electric heaters mimic the look of a stove and provide heat. However, for a dedicated heating solution with ambiance, an electric fireplace is more suitable. They offer realistic flame effects and controllable heat. The pros can help you choose the right electric heating solution for your space. They ensure it meets your needs.

How does an electric fireplace provide heat?

Electric fireplaces provide heat using an internal heating element, usually a fan-forced heater. When activated, the element warms the air, and the fan circulates this warm air into the room. This offers supplemental heating, perfect for making a space feel cozier without heating the entire house. The pros can explain the heating capacity of different models. They'll ensure proper installation for efficient operation.

What is an electric fire fireplace insert?

An electric fire fireplace insert is a unit designed to be placed within an existing fireplace opening. It contains the electric fire effect, simulating a real flame, and often includes a heating element. These inserts are a convenient way to update a traditional fireplace without the need for gas or wood. The pros can install these seamlessly into your hearth. One quick call gets you a free quote — no obligation.

What kind of mantel is suitable for an electric fireplace?

The type of mantel for an electric fireplace depends on the unit. Freestanding electric fireplaces often come with their own integrated mantel. For insert models, a decorative surround or a traditional mantelpiece can be used to frame the unit. The pros can advise on compatibility and installation. They'll help you choose a style that complements your decor. Same-day appointments are often available in San Francisco.
