FAQ's

Do electric fireplaces require professional installation?
Most electric fireplaces don't require professional installation. Many EcoSmart Fire electric models are designed for simple plug-and-play setup using standard electrical outlets. However, built-in or hardwired installations may need qualified electrical work. Always consult your specific model's installation manual for requirements and local electrical codes.
What maintenance do electric fireplaces need?
Electric fireplaces require minimal maintenance compared to traditional fireplaces. Simply dust your EcoSmart Fire electric fireplace regularly to prevent build-up, clean the glass screen with standard glass cleaner, and wipe air inlets/outlets with a soft cloth. Semi-annually, unplug the unit and dust internal components once cooled.
Can electric fireplaces be used without heat?
Yes, electric fireplaces can operate in flame-only mode without producing heat. This allows you to enjoy the ambience and visual appeal of flickering flames year-round, particularly during warmer months when heating isn't required, making them perfect for creating atmosphere without additional warmth.
Do electric fireplaces need to be vented?
No, electric fireplaces do not need to be vented. They operate as vent-free, self-contained units that produce zero emissions, no harmful smoke, or greenhouse gases. Unlike gas or wood fireplaces, electric models require no gas lines, chimneys, or venting systems, making installation simple and versatile.
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 energy efficient?
Electric fireplaces achieve near-perfect efficiency because all electricity consumed converts directly into usable heat.
