Electric Fireplace

A fireplace enhances any home. However, if your home does not have a chimney or you want to have the ambiance without the maintenance, mess, or fumes, you should consider the benefits of an electric fireplace. Electric fireplaces can be installed in many of the same ways and areas as a gas fireplace. They can be built into walls, placed as freestanding units, or inserted into an existing fireplace. They produce heat through resistance, so there is no actual flame, leading to no soot or particulates in the air.

The national average cost to install an electric fireplace is $1,000 to $4,000, with most homeowners paying around $2,500 for a recessed wall unit with a custom installation. This project’s low cost is $600 to install an electric fireplace insert in an existing fireplace. The high cost is $10,000 for a 3-sided room divider fireplace with a custom installation and extended electrical wiring
