FAQ's

What is an electric fireplace insert?
There are many types of indoor electric fireplaces, including freestanding and built-in models. EcoSmart Fire’s Electric Fireplace Series is designed to be framed by wood or metal studs and installed into a wall. With low-energy LED flame technology, our electric fireplace inserts resemble an authentic open flame fireplace. Recessed into a wall, the electric fireplace displays sleek linear lines for a luxurious modern finish. An existing gas fireplace or wood-burning fireplace can be converted into an electric fireplace.Please speak with a specialist for more information.
Do electric fireplaces need to be vented?
No, electric fireplaces do not need to be vented. They operate as vent-free, self-contained units that produce zero emissions, no harmful smoke, or greenhouse gases. Unlike gas or wood fireplaces, electric models require no gas lines, chimneys, or venting systems, making installation simple and versatile.
Can electric fireplaces be used without heat?
Yes, electric fireplaces can operate in flame-only mode without producing heat. This allows you to enjoy the ambience and visual appeal of flickering flames year-round, particularly during warmer months when heating isn't required, making them perfect for creating atmosphere without additional warmth.
Do electric fireplaces require professional installation?
Most electric fireplaces don't require professional installation. Many EcoSmart Fire electric models are designed for simple plug-and-play setup using standard electrical outlets. However, built-in or hardwired installations may need qualified electrical work. Always consult your specific model's installation manual for requirements and local electrical codes.
Do electric fireplaces need to be vented?
No, electric fireplaces do not need to be vented. They operate as vent-free, self-contained units that produce zero emissions, no harmful smoke, or greenhouse gases. Unlike gas or wood fireplaces, electric models require no gas lines, chimneys, or venting systems, making installation simple and versatile.
Do electric fireplaces look realistic?
Yes, modern electric fireplaces look remarkably realistic thanks to advanced LED technology, 3D flame effects, and holographic innovations. EcoSmart Fire's Motion Picture Flame Technology creates natural-looking, multi-dimensional flames with customisable colours, making them virtually indistinguishable from traditional wood or gas fires.
What maintenance is required for electric fireplaces?
There is very little maintenance involved with your electric fireplace. We recommend dusting your electric fireplace regularly to avoid build-up. You may also use a simple glass cleaner on your screen to maintain the polished look.
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 energy efficient?
Electric fireplaces achieve near-perfect efficiency because all electricity consumed converts directly into usable heat. Unlike wood-burning fireplaces that lose substantial heat through chimneys, or gas fireplaces that require venting, electric models retain 100% of generated warmth within your living space.
Can you install an electric fireplace in any room of the house?
Electric fireplaces cannot be installed in every room due to safety restrictions. Avoid moist environments like bathrooms and laundry rooms, and ensure adequate ventilation. Each unit requires a dedicated 15-amp circuit installed by a qualified electrician, plus proper clearances from combustible materials.
