Built-in Electric Fireplaces

A built-in electric fireplace recesses into framed drywall for a flush, seamless look, whether it's going into new construction or an existing wall opened up for the install. No chimney, no gas line, no masonry — the unit sits in the wall cavity and connects to power.

If you're retrofitting an existing fireplace opening rather than framing new, our Electric Fireplace Inserts are built for that. For surface installation without any recessing, see our Wall-Mounted Electric Fireplaces, and for a flame visible from more than one side, our 3-Sided Electric Fireplaces cover room dividers and peninsula walls.

Amantii, Remii, SimpliFire, Superior, and Sierra Flame all have models in this collection, ranging from compact 30" units to wide format pieces built for great rooms. Depth, frame style, and heat output are the main things that vary model to model.

Key Advantages of Our Built-in Electric Fireplaces

Frequently Asked Questions

What framing do I need for a built-in electric fireplace?

Most units are designed for standard 2x4 or 2x6 wall framing, but required depth and width vary by model. Check the installation manual on the product page before finalizing your rough opening.

Do I need an electrician to install one?

It depends on the model. Many plug into a standard 120V outlet. Larger units, especially those with higher heat output, may require a dedicated circuit or hardwiring, which needs a licensed electrician.

What's the difference between a built-in and an insert?

A built-in is designed to be recessed into new framing during construction or a remodel. An insert is built to slide into an existing masonry or wood-burning fireplace opening, using the space you already have.

Can a built-in electric fireplace go outdoors?

Only models explicitly rated indoor/outdoor, like several Amantii and Remii units in this collection. These are weather-resistant for covered patios, but not built for direct rain or snow exposure.

How much clearance do I need around the unit?

Clearance to combustibles is listed in each product's installation manual and varies by model. Confirm the spec before you frame the opening, especially if you're finishing the surround with wood or another combustible material.
