Overview of Electric Logs

Electric logs are a convenient and efficient alternative to traditional wood-burning fireplaces.

These log sets are designed to fit seamlessly into existing fireplaces or can be used with electric fireplace inserts. With adjustable heat settings and remote control operation, electric logs offer a level of comfort and convenience that traditional fireplaces can't match. Want to go traditional instead?

Electric Log Product Types

Our collection of electric logs includes a variety of sizes and styles to suit different preferences and room sizes. The main product types we offer are:

Standalone Electric Log Sets

Standalone electric log sets are designed to be placed inside an existing fireplace or used with a separate electric fireplace insert.

They are easy to install and can be enjoyed without the need for venting or chimney maintenance. We also have gas logs vented or ventless gas logs for fireplaces.

Electric Fireplace Log Sets

Electric fireplace log sets are complete units that include both the log set and the fireplace surround. These all-in-one solutions are perfect for those who want the look of a traditional fireplace without the need for an existing hearth. They come in various sizes and styles to match any decor and can be easily plugged into a standard electrical outlet.

Infrared Electric Log Sets

Infrared electric log sets use advanced infrared technology to provide efficient and targeted heat distribution. These sets are ideal for larger rooms or spaces where you want to focus the warmth on a specific area. Infrared heat is also known for its gentle, moisture-balancing properties, making it a comfortable choice for those with sensitive skin or respiratory issues.

How to Choose Electric Logs

When selecting electric logs for your home, consider the size of your space and the desired level of heat output. For smaller rooms or areas where you primarily want ambiance, a standalone electric log set may be sufficient. If you're looking to create a focal point in a room without an existing fireplace, an electric fireplace log set is a great option.

For larger spaces or those with high ceilings, an infrared electric log set can provide more efficient and targeted heating. These sets are also a good choice if you plan to use your electric logs as a primary heat source rather than just for ambiance.

No matter which type of electric logs you choose, you'll enjoy the convenience of instant on/off operation, adjustable heat settings, and remote control functionality. Say goodbye to the mess and maintenance of traditional fireplaces and hello to the ease and comfort of electric logs.
