No. Electric fireplaces produce a flame effect and heat using electricity, not combustion, so there is no smoke, no exhaust, and nothing to vent. That means no chimney, flue, or gas line is required, which is what makes them so easy to add almost anywhere in your home.
Yes, and it is one of our most popular jobs. We assess your existing firebox, fit an electric insert to its dimensions, wire it for a safe connection, and can cap and seal the unused flue. You keep the fireplace's look while losing the wood hauling, ash, and annual sweeping.
It can. Most electric fireplaces include a built-in heater that provides supplemental warmth for a single room, controlled by a thermostat or remote. It is an efficient way to warm the space you are actually using without running central heat through the whole house, and the flame can also run heat-free.
They are a safer option than an open fire. There is no live flame, no burning wood, and no carbon monoxide, and the glass front stays far cooler than a real firebox. Combined with remote and thermostat control, that makes electric fireplaces a practical choice for households with young children and pets.
