Common Questions
Fireplace Installation FAQs
How does an electric fireplace work?
Electric fireplaces use electric heating elements to generate heat and LED or infrared technology to simulate realistic flames. The flame effect is produced by light reflecting off a spinning or moving component, creating the illusion of real fire. Most units can operate the flame effect independently of the heating function, providing ambiance without heat. They plug into a standard electrical outlet, making them the easiest type of fireplace to install.
What types of fireplaces can I have installed in my home?
There are several types of fireplaces available, including wood-burning, gas, and electric. Wood-burning fireplaces offer a traditional experience but require a chimney and regular maintenance. Gas fireplaces are popular for their convenience and efficiency, while electric fireplaces are the easiest to install with no venting required. Your choice will depend on your home’s existing infrastructure, budget, and personal preference.
Do I need a fireplace screen or glass door?
Yes, a fireplace screen or glass door is strongly recommended for wood-burning fireplaces. Screens and doors prevent sparks and embers from escaping the firebox and igniting nearby carpets or furniture. Glass doors also help reduce the amount of conditioned air lost up the chimney when the fireplace is not in use. Both options are available in a variety of styles to complement your home’s décor.
What is the difference between a built-in and a freestanding fireplace?
A built-in fireplace is integrated into a wall and typically requires more extensive installation work. Freestanding fireplaces, also called stoves, stand independently and can often be positioned more flexibly. Built-in models generally offer a cleaner, more finished aesthetic, while freestanding units can sometimes be more cost-effective. Both options are available in wood-burning, gas, and electric varieties.
What is the lifespan of an electric fireplace?
Most electric fireplaces are designed to last 10 to 20 years with proper care and maintenance. LED flame components can last up to 50,000 hours before needing replacement. Heating elements are generally durable but may require replacement over time. Keeping the unit clean and following manufacturer maintenance guidelines will maximize its lifespan.
How disruptive is fireplace installation to my home?
The level of disruption depends on the type of fireplace being installed. Electric fireplace installation is minimally disruptive and can often be completed in a few hours. Gas and wood-burning installations that require new venting or structural work can involve drywall removal, cutting through walls or roofs, and potential dust and debris. Plan for some inconvenience and discuss the timeline and cleanup expectations with your contractor in advance.
What is a firebox and what materials are used to construct it?
The firebox is the chamber where the fire burns in a wood-burning fireplace. It is typically constructed from refractory brick and mortar, which are specially designed to withstand extreme heat. Over time, the mortar and firebrick can crack and deteriorate, requiring repair or replacement. Proper firebox construction is critical for the safety and performance of the fireplace.

★★★★★
Very nice and professional technicians. They texted to let me know exactly when they would arrive so I was not stuck at home waiting out a long time window. They covered all the areas they walked on and worked on to minimize any debris left behind. The technicians were informative and explained how my new fireplace worked. I would highly recommend The Fire Factory to anyone looking to replace their old log set! My new Eiklor Rocky Mountain Split Burnt Logs look amazing and installation took less than 2 hours.
