What affects the price

When you start pricing out an electric fireplace, a few main things change the bottom line. First, size matters—a massive wall-mounted unit or a custom built-in insert will cost more than a standard portable heater. If you want high-end features like realistic 3D flame effects, smart home integration, or crackling sound components, expect to pay more for the technology. Installation also shifts the cost; simple plug-and-play models are cheaper than those requiring hardwiring or carpentry work. We can help you break down your specific project requirements, with exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Installing electric fireplace insert models is a great way to upgrade an existing masonry fireplace without the high cost of a chimney sweep. You need this service when you have an old, unused hearth and want to convert it into a clean, efficient heat source. The technician slides the insert into the existing cavity, secures it, and ensures it is properly plugged into a dedicated circuit, transforming your old fireplace into a functional, modern feature.

Summer is the perfect time to use your fireplace as a purely visual feature. Since you can run the flames without the heater, it adds a soft, ambient glow to your evening gatherings. It stays cool to the touch, making it safe for kids and pets even on hot days.

Running the heater can consume a noticeable amount of electricity. Discuss your heating needs with the pros.

Do electric fireplaces use lots of electricity?

It depends on how you use them. The heating function uses the most power, similar to a portable space heater. The flame-only mode is very energy efficient. Most can plug into a standard outlet. The pros can help you understand the energy consumption for your Bakersfield home.
