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.

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.

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.

Clear Product Guidance
Our goal is to help you understand the fireplace you are purchasing, how it will be installed and how to operate it properly.

Can I install a television above an electric fireplace?

A television can often be installed above an electric fireplace when the fireplace manufacturer’s requirements are followed. The design should also consider viewing height, heat discharge, outlet placement and overall wall proportions.

Can an electric fireplace operate without heat?

Many electric fireplaces allow the flame and lighting effects to operate without the heater. This lets you enjoy the fireplace ambience throughout the year.

Are electric fireplaces suitable for condos?

Electric fireplaces can be an excellent option for condos and townhomes because they do not require gas lines, chimneys or exterior venting. Building and strata or condominium rules should still be reviewed before installation.

Can an electric fireplace heat an entire home?

Electric fireplaces are generally designed to provide supplemental room heat rather than whole-home heating. Heating capacity varies by model and electrical configuration.

Are electric fireplaces safe for homes with children or pets?

Electric fireplaces do not have an open flame, but the heater outlet and surrounding surfaces may still become warm. Children and pets should be supervised, and all manufacturer safety instructions should be followed.

What size electric fireplace should I choose?

The right size depends on the dimensions of the wall or fireplace opening, the size of the room, the width of the television and the desired visual impact. NOVA can help you select a proportionate model.
