Is an electric fireplace insert a good idea?

It's a fantastic idea if you have an existing fireplace or mantel that you want to convert. It's a much simpler and often more affordable upgrade than a full gas or wood installation. Pros can assess your current setup in Fort Collins.

Can I plug an electric fireplace into a regular outlet?
