Electric Inserts for the Fireplace You Have

Why Families Choose Electric Inserts

An electric insert fits into the fireplace opening you already have and runs from an outlet or a hardwired connection. For the masonry fireplace nobody lights anymore—or the one in a rental, a bedroom, or a room with no gas line—it’s the quickest way to get the glow back. Electric is extremely reliable heat with no gas or wood to purchase and no venting required, so it installs almost anywhere.

Simplifire and Valor inserts come in sizes to match common fireplace openings, with a trim kit that finishes the gap, and the flame effects are adjustable for color and brightness. The fire is a unique, hypnotic glow with no actual flames. Electric fireplaces produce radiant heat—and you completely control the heat output.

Use an outlet or have the unit hardwired. Then, simply flip a switch or grab your remote. Electric fireplaces are extremely hassle-free and don't require any fuel storage. Our trained in-house team handles the fit, the power, and a clean installation, and we’re here if it ever needs service. Price any insert below, or bring the measurements of your opening to the showroom.

We purchased a propane fireplace from Hearths A'Fire and had little to no experience with installation or maintenance. The customer service here is exceptional. I cant say enough about a gentleman by the name of Brian. He has gone far above and beyond for me in any time of need. He's about as professional and personable as anyone I've encountered and has truly shown he cares. He recently came with another very helpful gentleman by the name of Luke, even when their schedules are packed, to help me resolve a maintenance issue. Im truly thankful for the customer service I've received from these folks. Highly recommended!

Common Questions About Electric Inserts

The questions every Central New York fireplace project runs into, answered the way we'd answer them on the showroom floor.

More questions & answers

How much does an electric insert cost installed?

The least of any insert on this site—no liner, no gas line. Every electric insert on this page carries a price tier, and the instant estimate narrows it to your fireplace in about two minutes.

Will it fit my fireplace?

Measure the opening—height, width, and depth—and bring the numbers to the showroom, or send them with your estimate. Trim kits cover the gap, and most masonry openings take a standard size.

Does it heat the room?

Electric fireplaces produce radiant heat—and you completely control the heat output. It’s supplemental heat—plenty for a bedroom or a sitting room, and the glow runs with the heat off in summer.

Do I need an electrician?

Usually not. Most inserts plug into a nearby outlet; the larger models can be hardwired. We’ll tell you which before you order.

Who installs it, and what about service afterward?

We install what we sell—our trained in-house team handles a safe, code-compliant installation with attention to detail—and we service what we sell, so we’ll be here long after installation to make sure everything works the way it should.
