What affects the price

Choosing an electric fireplace involves several variables that shift the total investment. The primary drivers include the unit's physical size, the complexity of the installation—such as whether it is a simple wall-mount or a custom recessed build—and the specific heating technology used. Premium features like multi-colored flame effects, smart home connectivity, and high-end glass fronts also influence the final number. We help you navigate these options to find the right fit for your budget. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

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.
