Electric Fireplaces Need No Chimney, Vent or Gas Line

An electric fireplace creates its flame from LED light or a video of real fire, and heats the room with a built-in fan heater. Nothing burns, so there is no chimney, vent or gas line to plan around, and most models plug into a standard outlet. You can run the flame with the heat off, which is why people put them in rooms that were never built for a fireplace.

Modern Electric Fireplaces

With our modern electric fireplace selections, you can get realistic flames and an authentic heat output without a chimney or venting. The vent-free nature of our electric fireplaces makes them very easy to install. Use them to replace the existing fireplace in your living room or add a new one to your basement, bedroom, or any other part of your home.

The electric fireplace industry uses various techniques to ensure safety, including LED or virtual flames - a technology featured in advanced models like Modern Flames Orion Series fireplaces - and because nothing burns, there are no fumes to vent.

Various Electric Fireplace Heater Options

Our electric fireplaces work with or without a legitimate heat output. This means you can enjoy the ambiance of realistic flames even during the summer without overheating your house. Turn on their heat functions during winter to keep yourself warm with no fumes or emissions.

They also come with convenient control options. Whether you prefer a remote, touch screen, mobile app, or smart home connectivity, operating our fireplaces will be a breeze.

Frequently Asked Questions about Electric Fireplaces

Do electric fireplaces give off heat?

Yes. Most electric fireplaces have a built-in fan heater that blows warm air into the room, and you can run the flame with the heater off. On a standard 120V outlet most put out about 5,000 BTU, which is supplemental heat for a room, not a whole house. Dual-voltage models hardwired to 240V give up to twice that.

Are electric fireplaces safe?

Yes, and the main reason is that nothing burns. There is no gas, smoke or carbon monoxide, so there is nothing to vent. The glass stays far cooler than on a gas fireplace. The heater outlet and the trim around it do get hot, so keep curtains, furniture and anything that can melt out of the path of the warm air. Plug it straight into a wall outlet, never into an extension cord or power strip.

Do electric fireplaces plug in or need to be hardwired?

Most plug into a standard household outlet, including most built-in models, which ship with a cord or a plug kit. Freestanding units plug in. Some wall-mounted and built-in models have to be hardwired by an electrician. On dual-voltage models, hardwiring to 240V gives up to twice the heat of the same unit on 120V. It varies by model, so check the product page and the manual before you plan the wall.

Can an electric fireplace go in a drywall or wood-framed wall?

Yes. Most electric fireplaces can be framed in with wood studs and finished with drywall along the sides, back and bottom. The rules that apply are mostly about what sits above it. Many models need a minimum distance to a mantel, TV, shelf or ceiling, and a few need a gap between the top of the unit and the insulation, or a non-combustible header. Those distances vary by model, so frame to the manual, not a rule of thumb.

How much electricity does an electric fireplace use?

With the heater on, a typical plug-in electric fireplace draws about 1,500 watts, the same as a portable space heater, so an hour of heat uses about 1.5 kWh. Multiply that by your electricity rate for the hourly cost. With the heater off, the flame alone uses a small fraction of that.

How realistic do electric fireplace flames look?

It depends on the flame technology. Most electric fireplaces use an LED flame effect, which shapes light into a flame pattern. Good ones look convincing across a room, but up close the movement is cleaner and more regular than real fire. Virtual fireplaces play a recorded video of a real fire behind the glass, so the flame moves the way fire does. Water vapor fireplaces build a three-dimensional flame out of mist and light, but they need water refilled or plumbed in. Judge any model on video with the flame set to ordinary orange, not from a still photo.
