Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
When you look at electric fireplaces, the final cost depends on a few specific things. Size is the biggest factor, as larger units require more materials and complex internal heating components. You will also see price shifts based on the installation type—built-in models involve more labor and structural work than simple wall-mount options. Features like realistic flame technology, smart home integration, and heat output settings also change the bottom line. We can get your exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
An insert is designed to fit into an existing masonry hearth or a custom-built cabinet. You need this service if you want to convert a drafty, unused wood-burning fireplace into a clean, energy-efficient electric one. We measure your opening, prepare the space to accommodate the insert, and ensure the unit is ventilated correctly. This creates a finished, custom look that fills your existing fireplace opening seamlessly while providing reliable, supplemental heat for your living area.
Believe it or not, summer is a great time to use your fireplace. Since the heating element can be turned off completely, you get to enjoy the ambiance of a flickering fire without adding any warmth to your home. It acts as a sophisticated focal point for your living space during evening gatherings.
