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
This service is for retrofitting an electric firebox into an existing, non-functional fireplace opening. You should choose this if you have an old hearth you no longer use and want to restore its utility. We seal the chimney and install the unit to provide supplemental heat and a realistic glow. The size of your current opening influences the final cost.
Fall is when most people start thinking about heating upgrades. As the temperature drops, having a fireplace ready makes the transition into the colder season much smoother. It provides that first bit of extra comfort you need as you begin spending more time indoors during the autumn evenings.
