This is the simplest and most convenient way to add the ambiance of a fireplace to your home: all you need to do is pick out the model you want, bring it home, plug it in to a standard 110 volt outlet, and voila! Your fireplace is installed and ready to go. Plus, you don’t need to worry about carbon monoxide or excess heat coming from the unit. However, if you’d like your fireplace to keep you warm, you can turn on the 5,000 BTU blower, which comes standard in all of the fireplaces we sell.
