How often do I need to change the bulbs on my electric fireplace?

Your EcoSmart Fire electric fireplace is equipped with low energy LED Lamps that have a life span of up to 20 years.

Are electric fireplaces efficient?

Electric fireplaces keep the heat where you need it. Traditional heating sources warm the entire house regardless of the room usage. Built in electric fireplace inserts allow you to zone heat by warming the room(s) you are using without having to turn up the central thermostat. This significantly reduces energy waste. Additionally, indoor electric fireplaces heat a room more efficiently than wood-burning fireplaces. This is because much of the heat produced in a wood-burning fireplace is lost through the chimney whereas indoor electric fireplaces are vent-free keeping the heat in the room.

Why use an electric fireplace?

There are many reasons to choose an electric fireplace insert over other heating options such as wood-burning and gas fireplaces.

Cost: Electric wall fireplaces are the most cost-effective fire solution available, operating at just pennies a day. Additionally, using an electric fireplace for zone heating can reduce your utility bill by 20-40%.

Realism: Low energy LED flame technology produces a warm glow and vibrant flickering flame for the most realistic electric fireplace. Featuring accent elements like logs, coals or glacier glass media, and an industry-leading ember bed with a pulsing burner effect, EcoSmart Fire’s modern electric fireplaces are nearly indistinguishable from a real fire. Best of all, you can enjoy the ambiance of a warm glowing fire with or without heat year-round.

Safety: With a low energy LED powered flame and a cool to the touch safety screen, electric wall fireplaces are the safest fire solution available making them ideal for busy commercial spaces or homes with children and pets.

Do electric fireplaces give off any fumes or gases?

No, our fireplaces do not emit any fumes, CO2, smoke, emissions or any pollutants.

Does the glass front of an electric fireplace get hot?

No, the heating elements are set behind the safety screens and do not get hot enough to burn. The glass front always remains cool to the touch and is perfectly safe for children and pets.

How large of an area will my electric fireplace heat?

Our indoor electric fireplaces run on 120V and produce up to 5,000 BTUs. That's enough heat to warm approximately 450 square feet without turning up the central thermostat.
