ELECTRIC??? That's the MOST expensive way to go. If you just want the entertainment of a fire then I guess it's fine. But if you're looking for anything else like heat.... OUCH. Do a Google for electric fireplaces and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. Up here electricity is VERY expensive at almost 15 cents per KWH. And power failures can come during a blizzard. So we have a real fire.

you can use it w/electric. diff ways to install. either inset or build it out. this is an infrared

Below is an inspired photo of what I am doing. What is your favorite electric fireplace that you love? Link is a huge bonus. Thank you

Actually, if you can take a picture from a similar distance away as the listing photo (like Fig. 1), I can superimpose the current photo onto the listing photo and pretty much get the measurements based on the dimensions of the stove surround (see Fig. 2). Take the picture from directly in front of the fireplace as shown in the example. One thing that looks different from the listing photo to the current photo is, it appears there are 3 or more rows of bricks above the stove surround, whereas the listing photo looks like only 2 rows. Did the mantel get raised a bit when the insert was installed? Picture of listing photo straightened out with custom black arched surround and electric insert. Fig. 2: Measure the With and Height of stove surround. This image shows the stove superimposed over the listing photo with the stove slightly transparent, revealing the arched opening. Post the picture here, but also email it to me directly in a high resolution since Houzz shrinks everything. Email To: greg@fireplacetreatments.com
