Two Types Of Electric Fireplace Inserts

Electric log sets and electric fireboxes are the two types of electric inserts that can be used to revitalize old fireplaces. Both of these inserts are vent-free, require no maintenance, are environmental friendly and are safe to use around children and pets.

Electric Log Sets
Electric log sets use low energy LED lights to simulate the glow of embers from a real fire and do not require any assembly. Simply insert the log set into your existing fireplace and connect it to any standard household outlet.

Electric Fireboxes
Electric fireboxes, like log set inserts, can be installed in existing fireplaces. They are distinguished by the fact that they can be installed as new fireplaces and inserted into walls, mantels, or cabinetry.
LED lights are also used in electric fireboxes to create the illusion of a flame. They also have built-in heaters that can heat up to 1000 square feet. These heaters are silent and operate independently of flames, allowing you to turn them off when not in use.
Some electric fireboxes include trim that you can use to frame the flame display and cover up gaps if your firebox is a little smaller than your existing fireplace opening.
Electric firebox inserts have a traditional fireplace shape, but the flame display can range from traditional to modern. You can place logs or contemporary glass in front of the flames, and you can even change the flame colors for a truly unique experience.
