Dimplex electric fireplace insert — St. George, UT
Last updated: September 24, 2026
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.

What distinguishes an electric fire with a fireplace from a standalone electric unit?
An electric fire with a fireplace, often referred to as an insert, is specifically designed to fit within an existing traditional fireplace opening, utilizing that structure for its housing. A standalone electric fire is a complete unit, typically a cabinet or wall-mounted appliance, that doesn't require an existing hearth. Pros can explain the integration process for inserts, including any necessary modifications to the existing structure. They'll also discuss the aesthetic options for both types of units.
Do electric fireplaces consume a lot of electricity?
The electricity consumption of an electric fireplace depends heavily on whether the heating element is in use. The flame effect alone uses minimal power, comparable to a few light bulbs. However, when the heater is active, it draws more power, similar to a space heater. Professionals can provide specific wattage information for models you're considering. They can also explain how efficient newer models are and how to optimize usage to manage energy costs. They'll clarify if a standard outlet is sufficient.
