EL60 Electric Fireplace

Are electric fireplaces good for the environment?

Electric fireplaces reduce your carbon footprint. Wood fireplaces are bad for the environment because they require trees to be destroyed and release a large amount of carbon dioxide that contributes to the greenhouse effect. Indoor electric fireplaces are better for the environment because there are no emissions or fossil fuels involved.

Are electric fireplaces difficult to install?

EcoSmart Fire’s Electric Fireplace Series is designed to be framed by wood or metal studs and installed into a wall. Our built in electric fireplace inserts require no gas line, no chimney, and no venting for a hassle-free install. A dedicated 15 amp circuit and a professional electrician will be required for installation.

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.

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.
