electric

Traditional electric covers the units that look like a fireplace rather than a light strip: log-style fireboxes, mantel-ready formats, and inserts that drop into an existing opening. It is the answer when you want the classic look but venting or a gas line is not on the table.

What is here

Log-style built-in fireboxes and inserts from Dimplex and Amantii, including the RBF and DFI lines, plus units sized to pair with a mantel. Several use Dimplex's Optimyst water-vapour flame, which is the most convincing electric effect we carry.

A common use we like

If you have a masonry fireplace whose chimney is no longer safe or worth relining, a traditional electric insert puts a live-looking fire back into the opening for a fraction of the cost of a full conversion, with no venting work at all. It is one of the tidiest fixes for a dead fireplace in an older Toronto home.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, and it is one of the neatest uses for one. An electric insert drops into the existing opening and needs no venting, so a fireplace whose chimney is no longer usable can hold a live-looking fire again without any chimney work.

No. Electric fireplaces need only a power outlet. Larger heater models may want a dedicated circuit, which is worth confirming before you buy.
