Electric Fireplaces | Wood Fire Home

An electric fireplace gives you the look of a real fire with no gas line, no venting and no chimney. That means you can put one in an apartment, a new wall, a bedroom or a covered patio where a gas or wood fireplace wouldn't be practical. The flame runs with or without heat, so an electric fireplace works year-round, even in South Florida's climate.

Built-in linear electric fireplaces

The Modern Flames Orion Slim comes in 52", 60", 76" and 100" widths. It slides into a 6" wall cavity or mounts on the wall surface, and its Heliovision flame gives a three-dimensional effect with 3 flame patterns and 6 colors. Built-in units like the Orion Slim are normally hardwired by a licensed electrician.

Electric log sets for an existing fireplace

The Napoleon Woodland electric log set comes in 18", 24" and 27" sizes. It sits in your current firebox and plugs into a standard 120V outlet, giving about 5,000 BTU of supplemental heat for a room of up to 400 sq ft. It's the quickest way to stop burning wood without remodeling.

Choosing the right size

For a built-in, confirm your wall depth and the rough opening in the installation manual before you frame. For a log set, measure the width of your firebox at the front and back and choose the size that fits with room to spare.
