Electric fireplaces
Overview
There’s nothing quite like the warmth of a crackling fireplace on a chilly winter night. Electric fireplaces provide the heat and comfort of a wood-burning or gas fireplace, but they are safer, cleaner, and less expensive.
If you’re thinking about installing an electric fireplace in your home, you might be feeling overwhelmed by all the options on the market and that is understandable. There are hundreds of options available for both indoor and outdoor use.
How electric fireplaces work
Electric LED fireplaces use a combination of ultra-fine water vapor, LED lights, and varying air pressures to simulate the appearance of flames. They look much like real fire and can produce an impressive amount of efficient, smokeless heat. They are easy to install and can be plugged into any normal, 120V (120 volt) wall outlet.

Electric fireplaces have many advantages over old wood-burning and gas fireplaces:
- Plug into a normal 120V wall outlet
- Safe, no flames or fumes in your home
- More affordable to install

Electric fireplaces come in a wide variety of sizes and styles, so you can choose the option that looks best in your home or outdoor living space. Whether you want a traditional look or dramatic modern flair, you’re sure to find an electric fireplace that suits your home decor.
