About this service

An insert is designed to fit into an existing masonry fireplace or a custom cabinet. You need this service if you want to modernize an old, unused hearth without the mess of burning logs. Our process involves measuring your current opening, preparing the electrical hookups, and fitting the insert snugly for a seamless appearance. This is a great solution for homeowners who want to retain the look of a traditional fireplace while gaining the convenience of electric heating.

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

What is the downside of an electric fireplace?

The primary downside is they provide less intense heat than gas or wood fireplaces, making them best for supplemental warmth or ambiance in a St. Louis home. You also won't get the authentic crackling sound or smell. However, their ease of installation and operation is a major plus.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

It depends on usage. The heating element consumes the most power, similar to a space heater. Many models allow you to run just the flame effect, which uses very little electricity. For a St. Louis home, consider your energy needs when choosing a unit.

Are electric fireplaces a good idea?

For many St. Louis residents, they are an excellent choice. They offer the visual appeal of a fireplace without the need for ventilation, gas lines, or wood. They are easy to install and provide supplemental heat, making them a practical option for adding ambiance.

What's the most realistic looking electric fireplace?

Look for models with advanced LED flame technology that mimics real flames with realistic flickering and color variations. Adjustable flame speed and brightness enhance the realism. The pros can guide you to units that offer a convincing visual effect for your St. Louis home.

Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?

An electric fireplace insert is a great idea if you have an existing fireplace opening you want to repurpose. It's a simple and cost-effective way to get the benefits of an electric fireplace without major renovations. The pros can evaluate your existing setup in St. Louis.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?

Most electric fireplaces can be plugged into a standard 120-volt outlet. Some higher-wattage models might require a dedicated circuit. The licensed professionals will determine the correct electrical setup for your St. Louis home and chosen fireplace.
