Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, most electric fireplace inserts are equipped with heating elements that can effectively warm a room. Most models use a nominal 1,500 watts of power — about the same as a standard electric space heater — and some built-in inserts can heat a space up to 1,000 square feet. You can also run the flame effect without the heat, purely for ambiance.

  • No — electric fireplace inserts require no chimney, venting, or gas line whatsoever. They simply plug into a standard 120-volt household outlet, though you may need an electrician to add or move an outlet to the desired location. For heavier use, a dedicated 20-amp circuit is recommended to avoid tripping a 15-amp breaker.

  • Yes, electric fireplace inserts are specifically designed to slide into existing masonry or wood-burning fireplace openings and convert them into clean, electric units. Before purchasing, you should carefully measure the width, height, and depth of your fireplace opening, and if you have a chimney, you'll want to seal it off to eliminate heat loss. Many homeowners find this a cost-effective upgrade that eliminates soot, ash, and drafts.

  • Running costs depend on your local electricity rates and how often you use the insert, but since most models run on 1,500 watts, you can estimate your cost by multiplying your per-kilowatt-hour rate by 1.5. Electric inserts are generally considered energy-efficient because they convert nearly all electricity into usable heat with no energy lost up a chimney. Using the insert for ambiance only (flames without heat) draws significantly less power.

  • Modern electric fireplace inserts have come a long way from early models with flat, obviously fake 2D displays. Today's inserts use LED lighting, adjustable flame colors, variable intensity settings, and even optional crackling sound effects to closely mimic the look of a real fire. When shopping, look for warmer flame colors (reds, oranges, and yellows), as these tend to appear more realistic than cooler blue hues.
