(03) — Electric fireplaces
Built-in electric fireplaces have come a long way. The best ones read as real flame from across the room, install into a framed wall, and add heat to the room. We help you get the size, framing and power right the first time.
Buying guide
Most return headaches start with the wrong size. These are the questions we ask before we recommend anything.
- (01)
Size to the wall
Linear units run from about 3 to over 8 feet wide. We'll size it to your wall and to where the TV goes.
- (02)
Power
Many run on standard 120V; larger heat outputs may need 240V. Check before you frame.
- (03)
Recessed, built-in or wall-mount
Recessed and built-in units need framing. Wall-mount units hang like a TV.
- (04)
Indoor or outdoor-rated
Only use outdoor-rated units on covered patios and lanais.
Send your wall size and the room, and we'll match options with delivered pricing.

Does an electric fireplace actually heat the room?
Most add supplemental heat to the room they're in. They are not a replacement for your home's heating system.
Can it go under a TV?
Usually, yes. Heat output and clearances vary by unit, so we check the specs against your wall before you order.
