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 St. Louis

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?
This is a common concern for St. Louis homeowners. The visual flame effect uses very little energy. The heater function does consume electricity, similar to other space heaters, but they are efficient for warming a single room. Most can plug into a standard outlet.
