FAQ's

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.
Do I need permits to install an electric fireplace?
Most electric fireplaces don't require permits since they don't emit smoke or gases and need no chimney or vent. Unlike gas or wood fireplaces, EcoSmart Fire electric models typically plug into standard outlets. However, always check your local building codes, as permit requirements can vary by jurisdiction and installation type.
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.
Are electric fireplaces energy efficient?
Electric fireplaces achieve near-perfect efficiency because all electricity consumed converts directly into usable heat. Unlike wood-burning fireplaces that lose substantial heat through chimneys, or gas fireplaces that require venting, electric models retain 100% of generated warmth within your living space.
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.
Do electric fireplaces look realistic?
Yes, modern electric fireplaces look remarkably realistic thanks to advanced LED technology, 3D flame effects, and holographic innovations. EcoSmart Fire's Motion Picture Flame Technology creates natural-looking, multi-dimensional flames with customisable colours, making them virtually indistinguishable from traditional wood or gas fires.
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.
What area size can an electric insert heat?
EcoSmart Fire electric inserts can provide supplemental warmth for spaces up to approximately 37 square metres [400 sq ft], depending on room insulation, ceiling height, and climate conditions. All EL Series models feature the same 1500W heat output at maximum setting, with a 750W option for gentler warmth.These electric inserts are engineered primarily as design statements that happen to offer comfortable supplemental heating. The 1500W output translates to roughly 5,120 BTU, which delivers meaningful warmth in open-plan living areas without replacing your primary heating system. In well-insulated rooms with standard 2.4-metre [8 ft] ceilings, you'll notice appreciable warmth in the immediate vicinity of the fireplace, typically within a 4.5 to 6 metre [15 to 20 ft] radius.What makes EcoSmart Fire's electric collection distinctive is that heating capacity remains consistent whether you choose the EL40 with its 1016mm [40 in] viewing width or the dramatic EL120 spanning 3048mm [120 in]. This means you can select based purely on visual impact and scale rather than worrying about performance differences. The units plug into a standard dedicated 15-amp circuit, require no venting or gas connections, and produce zero emissions in your living space.
What is the average cost to operate an electric fireplace insert?
Electric fireplace inserts typically cost between $0.10 and $0.23 per hour to operate with heating enabled, depending on your local electricity rate and selected heat setting. Running the flame effect alone for ambience costs just pennies per hour.EcoSmart Fire electric inserts offer two heat settings: 750W for gentle warmth and 1500W for maximum output. At the higher setting, one hour of operation uses 1.5 kWh of electricity, so if your rate is $0.15 per kWh, that's roughly $0.23 per hour. Switch to the lower setting and you halve both energy consumption and cost. What makes electric fireplaces particularly economical is the ability to enjoy the realistic LED flame effect without activating the heater at all. The flame simulation draws minimal power, allowing you to create atmosphere year-round for a fraction of traditional fireplace operating costs.Unlike gas or wood-burning alternatives, there are no ongoing fuel purchases, no flue maintenance, and no efficiency losses up the chimney. Every watt goes directly into your space. The LED lighting system is engineered to last up to 20 years, eliminating bulb replacement costs over the life of the unit. For those seeking the warmth and visual appeal of a fireplace without unpredictable energy bills, electric inserts deliver both control and transparency.
