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
If you have an old masonry or wood-burning fireplace you no longer use, an insert is the perfect solution. It slides directly into your existing firebox, providing a clean, modern look without the mess of ashes or chimney maintenance. You’ll need this if you want to revitalize a drafty, unused fireplace while gaining convenient, supplemental heat. The cost varies based on the size of your opening and the specific heating features you choose; 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.
Frequently asked in Orlando
What's the difference between an electric fireplace and an electric stove?
The primary difference between an electric fireplace and an electric stove lies in their design and intended function. An electric fireplace is typically designed to mimic the look of a traditional fireplace, often featuring a mantel and a simulated flame effect for ambiance, with supplemental heating capabilities. An electric stove, conversely, is designed to resemble a freestanding wood-burning stove but uses electricity for heat and has a more compact, utilitarian appearance. Both offer electric heating solutions, but the aesthetic and integration into a home's decor differ significantly.
How does a licensed, insured pro install an electric fireplace insert in Orlando?
When a licensed, insured pro installs an electric fireplace insert in Orlando, they begin by assessing the existing fireplace or designated wall space for suitability. They confirm the structural integrity and ensure adequate electrical access, often recommending a dedicated circuit. The pros carefully position the insert, secure it in place according to manufacturer specifications, and make all necessary electrical connections. They also test the unit thoroughly to ensure the flame effect and heating functions operate correctly and safely.

What are the downsides of electric fireplaces?
The primary downsides of electric fireplaces often include their heat output, which is generally supplemental and not intended to be the sole heat source for a large home. While flame effects are becoming increasingly realistic, they do not provide the authentic visual and sensory experience of a real fire. Furthermore, their operation relies on electricity, meaning the cost of running the heater is tied to local utility rates. However, their ease of use, safety, and minimal maintenance are significant advantages.
