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
A Dimplex insert is a specialized unit designed to be installed into an existing masonry fireplace or a custom-built cabinet. These are high-quality systems known for their realistic flame technology. You need one if you have an old, drafty fireplace that you no longer want to use for wood burning but still want the aesthetic appeal. Installation involves ensuring the unit is properly sized for your opening, with exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
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.
