With over 500 models from industry-leading brands like Modern Ember, Dimplex, Modern Flames, Napoleon, and SimpliFire we've helped more than 100,000 customers bring warmth and ambiance to their homes—without the complexity of gas lines, chimneys, or annual maintenance.
Bring warmth and atmosphere to any room with our curated selection of electric fireplaces—from sleek wall-mounted designs to built-in inserts and freestanding styles. Shop realistic flame effects, multiple size options, and models with or without heat so you can enjoy the look year-round. Use the filters to compare installation type, finish, and heating coverage, then choose the features that matter most: adjustable flame brightness, thermostatic control, and energy-smart supplemental heat.
Looking for help picking the right fit? Start with installation style and size, then narrow down by flame technology and heat output.
The best electric fireplace is the one that fits your space, your install type, and how you plan to use heat. Here’s a quick way to decide:
1. ) Pick an installation type
| Style | Best For |
|---|---|
| Wall-Mounted Electric | Modern homes, apartments, space-conscious areas |
| Built-In & Recessed | Custom renovations, new construction |
| Fireplace TV Stands | Living rooms, small homes, dual-purpose spaces |
| Corner Fireplaces | Studios, bedrooms, space-efficient design |
| Electric Inserts | Upgrading existing wood/gas fireplaces |
| Outdoor Electric Fireplaces | Covered patios, screened porches, 3-season rooms |
2) Choose the right size
Measure your wall or opening, then select a width that looks proportional to the room. Many shoppers size up for visual impact if the wall allows.
3) Decide if you need heat
Most electric fireplaces provide supplemental zone heat for rooms like bedrooms, offices, and living areas. Prefer flames only? Choose a model that runs flame effects without heat.
4) Compare flame effects
Different technologies create different looks—some prioritize brightness and clarity, others emphasize depth and realism. If realism is your priority, shop models known for layered flame visuals.
5) Focus on control and convenience
Look for features like remote control, thermostat, timers, variable flame brightness, and multiple heat settings.
