We remodeled our living room fireplace and I was worried about making the switch from wood to electric. I have totally changed my mind. I now prefer the electric fireplace to our old wood one. The team at Very Good Fires was really helpful and made sure we got the perfect fireplace for our home. Jerry was especially helpful with making sure our delivery arrived quickly. - Randy

Sleek design and one of the best flame looks I've seen. Looks great! - Mark W

I love the slim and modern profile of the elite series. I could not ask for a better fireplace. - James

With a 10,000 BTU heat output, this top-rated electric fireplace can heat a sizeable space. You can also use the unit without the heat functionality.

Here is some of what our customers have to say about this electric fireplace model:

I researched a lot of fireplaces before deciding to purchase the Landscape Pro. The unit is built with quality and is easy to install and operate. It has a one-button default setting that sets the flame presentation to a natural flame look. This is a nice feature after “experimenting “ with all of the color options. I also ordered the fireplace screen which helps cut down on glare / reflections on the front of the fireplace. This also helps enhance the flame’s presentation. Very Good Fireplace staff was very helpful and shipped my fireplace promptly. Don’t waste your time with cheap fireplaces found online. You get what you pay for. Finally, be sure to connect the unit to a dedicated 15 amp circuit on your house power panel. This fireplace has a heater that needs its own power source. - Paul Garst

We love our new fireplace! It looks amazing and really warms up the room. Sally was really helpful and answered all of our questions. I would definitely recommend you buy from Very Good Fireplaces. - Rachel

3. Touchstone Mirror Onyx Electric Fireplace (5/5)

The Touchstone Mirror Onyx is one of our highest rated electric fireplaces. The mirrored glass front panel is one of the most appealing features of this particular model. When the fireplace is on, you can enjoy the glowing visuals. But, when the fireplace is off, the mirrored glass conceals the logs within. This unit is perfect for bedrooms, bathrooms, and dressing areas - anywhere that a mirror would be appropriate.

Heat a room of up to 400 sq. ft using the 1,500W or 750W options, which can be selected from the handy remote control. You can even set the fireplace to heat a room for up to 7.5 hours. You can also choose from 5 realistic flame settings to suit a particular mood or space.

This wall mounted electric fireplace is easy to install and comes with a full set of step-by-step instructions.

The Evoflame technology and woodland log set are what create the realistic fireplace visuals. All features can be easily controlled from your smart device using the E-touch app, which is free to download. 

You can enjoy the Compton electric fireplace all year round because there is the option to turn off the heating functionality.

5. Touchstone Sideline Recessed Electric Fireplace (5/5)

The Touchstone Sideline Elite electric fireplace is designed to be built into your wall and since the heat comes from the front of the unit, a television can be mounted above it. While this model is ideal for family rooms, it is often installed in meeting rooms and corporate centers too. 

Enjoy the larger, realistic flame format and the choice of 5 flame settings and 3 color-changing options, all of which can be controlled using a small remote. Choose a glass crystals or faux log set for your fire bed to complete the visual.
