How much does it cost to run an electric fireplace?

At just pennies a day, modern electric fireplaces are much cheaper than all other forms of heating. For comparison, electric wall fireplaces cost approximately 70% less to operate than a gas fireplace. Electric fireplaces can also be used as part of a supplemental zone heating strategy. Your built in electric fireplace insert can heat the room you’re currently using as opposed to raising your home’s central thermostat to heat every room. This helps decrease your monthly heating bill by at least 20-40%.

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.

How do I turn my electric fireplace on or off?

Our electric fireplaces come with an easy to use remote control and a wall mounted control panel for convenient operating. You can adjust heat at three levels, the lighting intensity, and change the flame color from orange to blue all with a touch of a button.

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.

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.

Where is the best place to install an electric fireplace?

EcoSmart Fire’s electric fireplace series can be installed in any indoor space desiring heat and/or ambiance. Our fireplace inserts are widely used in both commercial and residential spaces including restaurants, office buildings, high rise condos, and residential homes. With adjustable heat, lighting, and other customizable features your modern electric fireplace can be enjoyed year-round.
