Electric Fireplaces

Enjoy the Look of a Real Fire — Without the Smoke

Electric fireplaces make it easy to enjoy the atmosphere of a real flame without needing a chimney or venting. Modern electric fireplaces use LED flame technology that creates realistic fire effects with adjustable brightness and colour settings. Many electric fireplace models include both heating and visual-only modes, so you can enjoy the look of a flame year-round. Options range from electric wall fireplace designs and freestanding electric fireplace units to electric fireplace inserts and electric fireplace logs that fit existing fireplaces. For many homes in Canada, an electric fireplace offers a convenient and safe indoor heating solution.

FAQ

Where can I buy an electric fireplace in Canada?

Barbecues Galore carries electric fireplaces from Napoleon, Dimplex, Valor and Ambiance. Browse the collection online or contact our stores in Calgary, Edmonton, Burlington, Oakville, Etobicoke and London for help choosing a model. Confirm availability and showroom displays before visiting.

Do electric fireplaces need to be hardwired?

Electrical requirements vary by model and installation method. For example, the Dimplex IgniteXL Bold supports direct wiring to a 120V or 240V circuit. Check the installation manual before planning an outlet or electrical connection, and have a qualified electrician handle hardwiring.

What measurements should I check before buying a built-in electric fireplace?

Check the unit’s overall width, height and depth, the required framing opening, and the visible flame area. These measurements are different: a model’s advertised size is not a framing measurement. Use the installation manual for your exact model and size before building the wall opening.

Which electric fireplaces offer smartphone control?

The Napoleon Astound FlexMount supports smartphone control through the Napoleon Home App, as well as voice control and an included remote. You can customize lighting and set schedules for heat and colour settings. Check the model’s connectivity requirements when planning your installation.

Guided by Real-World Electric Fireplace Expertise

Choosing the right electric fireplace often comes down to how it will fit into your room and how much heat you need. Some homeowners prefer a linear electric fireplace for a modern wall feature, while others choose electric fireplace inserts to update an existing fireplace opening. Freestanding electric fireplace heaters are another flexible option for spaces where installation is limited. Understanding the difference between decorative flame effects and full electric fireplace heater output helps you choose the right model. With thoughtful placement and sizing, electric fireplaces can bring both warmth and visual comfort to modern interiors.
