In the past few years, especially in states like California, gas and wood-burning fireplaces have become a luxury addition to new home builds and are thus being eliminated from new construction homes. Even though in California, a fireplace in most cities is only useful a few days of the year because the weather rarely gets below 50 degrees in the evening, people still enjoy a fireplace centerpiece in their home and the classic mantle for stockings.
In this article, we'll explore some beautiful options for alternative electric fireplaces and different designs you can implement in your own home or easily recreate for a client. You're welcome to click the links and view the units in more depth or explore different models. If you make a purchase using any of my links, I will receive a small portion of the sale. Thank you for spending time on this article.
This beautiful Touchstone sideline elite is a modern head turner https://amzn.to/3LKLn0O
With a 60" long design, multi color, stone and faux wood inserts and easily mounted. I installed this unit myself in a 14' long built in fireplace and shelving unit for a living room.
The flames are more realistic than most and comes the heating element that is perfect for heating a 200-300 sqft room in my experience.
What I love about this unit is the smaller profile and sleek inset design. aside from the housing construction, the fireplace couldn't be easier to install.
This is a great option for those who are wanting a more realistic and traditional look. The Puraflame western comes equipped with a stack of firewood, inset in a brick lined chamber. It provides an immersive experience with the crackling wood sound that can be turned on and off. No matter what the weather is outside, if you have the fire on, the crackling going and the blinds closed it will feel like Fall in your home.
This unit is one of my favorites because of the larger foot print and depth of the display. the majority of electric fireplaces on the market are flat and use an LCD screen to display flames but this unit incorporates sound, glowing wood and rolling light flames.
This beautiful unit is apart of the same family of fireplaces offered by Dimplex and in my opinion has the best electric fireplaces and designs because of the realistic approach. I am not ready to go full modern with electric fireplaces. call me old fashioned. This particular model installed in the photo offers operational glass doors with a mesh screen.
The premium deigns do come at a premium price tag but definitely worth it and so much more cost affective than a gas or wood burning fireplace installation in comparison. Dimplex offers Hardwired units so if you're not comfortable or don't have a working knowledge of electrical then you will need to hire a professional. Here are the adaptors if you're interested in doing it yourself https://amzn.to/4d9TFeJ
For those who are looking to elevate the room without breaking the bank This Vitesse ultra thin model is a great choice. There are several sized to choose from and all of them come with a remote control and have mulitple colored flame options.
I have installed this unit in a custom built cabinet that gave the clients small living space some storage and cool center feature for the room.
The heater is powered but a standard 15amp outlet so there is no need to upgrade the source. its a great choice a bedroom or small living room.
