Built-In Electric Fireplaces

Create a Modern Focal Point for Your Room

A built-in electric fireplace can give your room the appearance of a custom architectural feature without the construction and venting requirements of a traditional fireplace.

Built-in models are installed within a framed wall, fireplace surround or custom feature wall. They are available in several widths, configurations and styles, including wide linear fireplaces that complement contemporary interiors.

Many models allow you to adjust the flame appearance, brightness, ember-bed colours and heat independently. This means you can enjoy the visual effect of the fireplace throughout the year, even when supplemental heat is not needed.

Benefits of a Built-In Electric Fireplace

  • No chimney or exterior venting required
  • No gas line or fuel storage
  • Convenient remote-controlled operation
  • Adjustable flame and lighting effects
  • Optional supplemental room heat
  • Flame effects can operate without heat
  • No smoke, soot, ash or wood debris
  • Flexible placement within the home
  • Modern linear and traditional designs
  • Suitable for custom fireplace feature walls
  • Lower maintenance than many fuel-burning fireplaces

Electric Fireplace Inserts

Upgrade an Existing Fireplace Opening

An electric fireplace insert can transform an unused, outdated or inefficient fireplace into an attractive focal point.

Electric inserts are designed to fit inside many existing fireplace openings. They provide realistic flame effects and convenient operation without burning wood or connecting to a gas supply.

An electric insert may be right for your home when:

  • You no longer want to burn wood
  • Your current fireplace is rarely used
  • You want to avoid ash, smoke and cleanup
  • Installing a gas line is impractical
  • You want a simpler fireplace conversion
  • You want to improve the appearance of an old fireplace
  • You would like supplemental heat
  • You want fireplace ambience throughout the year

Nova Fireplace & Stove can evaluate your existing fireplace, take accurate measurements and recommend electric insert options that suit the opening and your preferred style.

Electric Fireplace or Electric Insert: What Is the Difference?

Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, electric fireplaces and electric inserts are designed for different applications.

Electric Fireplace

An electric fireplace is typically installed within a newly framed wall, cabinet, entertainment center or custom fireplace surround. It is a popular option for new feature walls and room renovations.

Electric Fireplace Insert

An electric insert is generally placed inside an existing fireplace opening. It is often used to convert an old wood-burning or masonry fireplace into a cleaner and more convenient electric fireplace.

The best option depends on your existing space, fireplace dimensions, electrical supply and design goals. NOVA can evaluate your project and explain which installation type is most suitable.

Do Electric Fireplaces Produce Heat?

Many electric fireplaces include an integrated heater that provides supplemental warmth to the room.

The flame display and heater can usually be operated separately. You can enjoy the appearance of the flames during warmer months and turn on the heater when additional comfort is needed.

An electric fireplace is generally intended to supplement your home’s primary heating system rather than replace whole-home heating.

Heating performance depends on factors such as:

  • Fireplace model
  • Voltage and electrical configuration
  • Room size
  • Ceiling height
  • Insulation
  • Room layout
  • Outdoor temperature
  • Location of the fireplace

Nova Fireplace & Stove can help you compare fireplace specifications and select a model suited to your room and intended use.

Professional Electric Fireplace Installation

Although electric fireplaces do not require gas or venting, proper planning and installation are still important.

The fireplace must fit the intended space, meet the manufacturer’s clearance requirements and have an appropriate electrical connection. Built-in projects may also require framing, drywall, finishing materials and careful placement of televisions or mantels.

Nova Fireplace & Insert can coordinate the elements required for your installation, including:

  • In-home project assessment
  • Fireplace measurements
  • Product recommendations
  • Electrical circuit evaluation
  • New electrical circuit installation when required
  • Outlet placement
  • Framing and drywall
  • Fireplace installation
  • Mantel installation
  • Stone, tile or other finishing materials
  • Fireplace refacing
  • Media-wall construction
  • Final testing
  • Operating instructions

Working with one experienced company can make it easier to coordinate the fireplace, electrical work and surrounding construction.

Dan and the team at NOVA Fireplace and Stove are the consummate professionals. Originally we asked the team to spec out a wood burning fireplace for our outside covered deck. Dan advised us that we would not be able to do that due to code restrictions but he made multiple alternative recommendations which met our intent with a gas unit that is fabulous. He and his team installed it in quick order and spent time showing us how to operate it. He is highly responsive to inquiries and is on site within 2 days if the problem can’t be fixed over the phone. I can’t recommend these guys enough.

We highly recommend NOVA Fireplace and Stove. Dan, the owner, is the man! He is a MASTER builder. He can do anything you need. Dan initially met with us to discuss installing a fireplace, but by the end of the consultation, our focus had shifted to upgrading our lighting and electrical features - including recessed lights, new switches, outlets, and covers - throughout the living and dining rooms, kitchen, and staircase hallway. His team (Byron, Mario, and Jaime) did an exceptional job with the installations! They were very professional, communicated, provided quality products, precise, knowledgeable, arrived on time, and ensured each area was completed in an organized manner and cleaned (wiped down and vacuumed). We are very meticulous and were concerned about our new carpet being damaged, but the team ensured us that floor covers were being used during the entire project. We love everything and can't stop marveling over them. We're looking forward to working with Dan and his team again! Thanks a lot for your flawless work. J & C

I recently called about getting my gas fireplace fixed and had quite a few questions about the issue and the repair process. I spoke to Stewart for a while, and I really appreciated how patient and professional they were throughout the entire conversation. Every question I had was answered clearly and thoroughly, and I never felt rushed. It’s not always easy finding someone who takes the time to explain things, but they truly did. I feel much more confident moving forward with the fireplace repair. Highly recommend their service!
