An outdoor-rated electric fireplace is built to handle covered patios, three-season rooms, and other spaces exposed to temperature swings and humidity that would damage an indoor-only unit. They still plug in or hardwire like any electric fireplace — the difference is in the sealed components and weather-resistant housing.
For an indoor equivalent with the same flame technology, our Built-in Electric Fireplaces cover the same brands in indoor-only configurations. If your outdoor space needs a flame visible from more than one side, our 3-Sided Electric Fireplaces include several indoor/outdoor rated models.
Remii, Amantii, Modern Flames, and SimpliFire all build indoor/outdoor rated units in this collection. Coverage varies — most are rated for covered, sheltered spaces rather than full open-air exposure, so check each product's rating before installing near open weather.
Key Advantages of Our Outdoor Electric Fireplaces
- Weather-Resistant Construction: Sealed components rated for covered outdoor installations, not just indoor use.
- No Venting or Gas Line Required: Plug-in or hardwire installation, same as indoor electric models.
- Same Flame Technology: These use the same realistic flame effects as the indoor lines from the same manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "indoor/outdoor rated" actually mean?
It means the unit's components are sealed against moisture and temperature swings typical of a covered patio or three-season room. It does not mean the unit is built for direct, uncovered exposure to rain or snow — check the specific rating on each product page.
Can I install one in a fully open, uncovered space?
Not recommended for most models. These are built for covered or partially sheltered outdoor spaces. Check the manufacturer's installation guide for the specific coverage requirement before installing in an open-air location.
Do outdoor electric fireplaces heat the same as indoor models?
Heat output depends on the specific model. Some outdoor units, like SimpliFire's Forum, are ambiance-only with no heat element, while others carry a full BTU rating. Check the individual product page.
Do I need an electrician for an outdoor install?
Outdoor electrical work typically requires a dedicated, weather-rated circuit, so a licensed electrician is recommended even for models that could otherwise plug into a standard outlet indoors.
Do these come with a warranty?
Yes, every unit we sell carries the manufacturer's warranty. Terms vary by brand, so check the individual product page or reach out to our support team for specifics on your model.
