Question 1

How are gas and electric fireplaces different?

Accepted Answer

An electric fireplace has a heat-producing element that is powered by electricity, whereas a traditional gas fireplace uses fuel and produces heat via combustion. Gas fireplaces provide a realistic look while heating the space with real flames. Electric fireplaces have realistic flames and can be used without heat, making them perfect for creating a cozy atmosphere.

Is there a difference between a plug-in kit and a trim kit?

A plug-in kit provides the electrical connection for your fireplace, while a trim kit adds finishing touches like molding around the unit. Some electric fireplaces have optional accessories, but the ones included depend on the model and manufacturer.
