How to choose the best corner electric fireplace insert?

To find the best corner electric fireplace insert for your specific setting, here’s what we recommend keeping in mind:

They aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution, so you must measure the width, depth, and height of your existing fireplace to be sure that your new insert will be a perfect match
If the heating side of things is just as important as the ambiance element, consider the size of your room: for example, in smaller ones (around 400 sq feet) you can easily use a forced fan insert, whereas infrared quarts units are a wiser choice in larger rooms (1,000 sq feet)
Still, keep in mind that a corner electric fireplace insert won’t usually be able to warm up a much bigger setting (over 1,500 sq feet)
Finally, consider its aesthetic value by choosing a model with the right effect for your preference (e.g. fake flames, warm or blue colors, etc.)

Can you put an electric fireplace insert in an existing fireplace?

Yes, an electric fireplace insert can be placed in an existing fireplace as long as there’s a source of electricity close by. If there happens to be no power outlet next to your fireplace, you can always install one inside your firebox.

How long do electric fireplace inserts last?

If you are considering investing in a corner electric fireplace insert, you're probably wondering how long it lasts? Well, electric fireplaces can last anywhere between 10 to 20 years, depending on how frequently they are used. For this reason, manufacturers offer warranties that range from one up to 10 years, depending on the model.

Some tips to ensure the longevity of your electric fireplace insert is to clean it regularly. While it doesn't acquire the intense type of training that a chimney fireplace would, you can still use a soft cloth to remove dust and other types of debris that may create fire hazards.
