NOTE: one thing we did not discuss is efficiency of running units. In general if being uses as a primary heater gas Fireplaces will be much more cost efficient to run unless you are on full solar.
Today we settle the debate between gas and electric fireplaces! We break down the differences of each fireplace into four categories; Performance, installation, aesthetics, and cost. It’s really up to the customer on what will work best for them. We created this video to help others know the difference between these two types of fireplaces.
We start out by reviewing gas fireplaces. Trevor opens up with performance and explains why gas fireplaces will be better for heat. Gas fireplaces radiate more heat into rooms because of the real fire source. If you are looking for heat, a gas fireplace is the way to go. One negative thing about gas fire places is the installation. Installation can be tricky for direct vent units and pipes have to go through the roof or a side a wall. Watch the video to learn more about the aesthetics and cost.
Trevor reviewed electric fireplaces second. Unlike gas fireplaces, installation for electric units is very easy. Electric fireplaces don’t require any venting and they have the options to be narrow which makes install a breeze. One of the draw backs of electric fire places is the inability to heat as much as a gas unit. Electric fireplaces are used more fore warming a small area like a room as compared to gas fireplace which would be used to warm a larger area.
Watch the video to learn more about aesthetic and cost.
Both of the two types of fireplaces are great. It’s up to you on what will best suit your needs. Trevor breaks down some major points in this video and we hope you learned something from our video!

Great video 💪🏽
Nice video, keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
When he got to cost I assumed I would find out what these units cost since he was very informative on the other subjects.
So we dont include prices because they are always changing. You can check our website for the most up to date prices.
I had mostly 2 gas fireplaces 23 years. With reno my den now has electric. My bedroom has gas with battery start, in case of a prolonged power outage.
Awesome
Thanks for the great info! Which electric fireplace are you showing on the lower left when you are at about 19 minutes 40 seconds? That one looks pretty real!
Let us check!

Think that's the dimplex revillusion
Hello. I am just coming across this video. Thanks for the information. I am considering an electric fireplace for an outdoor fireplace because I don’t want to incur the the costs for install and permits for gas. What is the electric fireplace around the 20:01 mark that looked like flames between logs? Is it rated for outdoors?
The one at 20:01 is the Dimplex Revillusion. Before the is the Optimyst. We have a ton of top 5 electric fireplaces videos here is our newest one : ruclips.net/video/4R56cEETNag/видео.html
I was hoping to hear a comparison on the cost of operating them. Which one cost less to use, gas or electric?
it really varies by area and cost of your utilities, for example, NG just doubled in denver, and now is the same price as electric roughly
One cubic meter of NG contains ~10 kWh of energy. They operate at different efficiencies: natural vent (50 to 60%), direct vent (60 to 80%), ventless (near 100%, higher risk, may be illegal where you live). Electric is 100%. Gas will output far more than electric (~3x more, or ~0.6 to ~0.9 kwh), but can over heat the room. Electric may have lower operating cost due to the reduced output even at max.
Thank you
No problem! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
I recently purchased an Amantii Bespoke, what is the media that you guys have installed in yours? Also where can I purchase?
hmm it may be tough to purchase by itself
@@embersliving is that one of the options that comes with the bespoke line from Amantii?
Can you replace a ventless fireplace and install a vented one in its place?
if you can put a vent in you can
Btw...looooove your chanel!!!
awesome
Which fireplace was shown at the 20:30 mark?
OPTI-V
what I don't get is the point in having a cool wall for a gas fireplace. if its only for visual purposes then doesn't it make sense to just get an electrical one?
well the heat still comes out that vent so you still get more heat
13:25 electric fireplaces starts - I want a minimal depth focal wall with a linear fireplace with tv over top for my family room. I'm thinking differently now from watching these videos, if you are looking for electric heat source as well, build out your "fake fireplace wall" with a baseboard heater at the bottom ( leave a gap under the fireplace wall for the baseboard heater and just have the electric fireplace for aesthetics). These electric fireplaces are just not there yet with heat technology. Plus I have no water source for a vapor install in this location. I'm in Canada, Arizona made products probably don't factor in use in -20°C climate.
These fireplaces seem quite gimicy and just focus on the Walt Disney World looking flame colour, bed and background options, it's basically an expensive lamp.
How about a horizontal water bubble wall feature with heat or something like a lava lamp instead of trying to make a "realistic- looking" electrical fireplace flame? The flames don't look that great even on the nice models.
I will inset my television and use some led strips around the perimeter of it to play with some fun(ny) colour options at a much lower cost. Sorry guys, I am not sold on this technology, all of these manufacturers miss the mark on heat.
Thanks for watching!
is it possible to install a electric fireplac into a wood buring fireplace space ?
Yes if it physically fits
You did not compare energy costs . How do running costs compare ?
just really depends
Magikflame look pretty real too!
not too bad
Trying to see what’s the best option for a new construction but all of your videos are way too complicated
What do you mean? You can always call us
Whoa Casual Friday
every day!
He hasn’t mentioned that glass cover on a gas fireplace gets very hot. Not good if you have small children or pets.
This could happen!! Some fireplaces have better glass than others. An electric fireplace might be a safe bet if you are worried about that. Thanks for watching!!
Very informative. Thank you for posting.
I can make a fire colorful like a rainbow. Are you interested?
not really
these all fireplaces flames looks so hmmm
Never listed prices. Come on man
So we dont list prices because they are always changing. This video is about 2-3 years old. Please visit our website Embersliving.com to find the most updated prices.
I went to another video and found out what the difference was in like 5 seconds lol
Thanks for watching!
Did i miss the prices? He didn't say. Give us a price range lol
we dont mention proces because they are always changing. you can always check our website for the most updated prices.
I have a wood burning fireplace and would not give it up for anything
nice
Who would install a heater, then have the heat sent outside because you don't want the heat inside!?
people that live in southern hotter states. These are very aesthetic and used for looks sometimes.
Learning about fireplaces from a guy in swim shorts. Well ok
lol ok
Anything to get a stupid narcissistic comment out there huh David? Wtf does it matter what he's wearing? He's a fucking expert in Denver...Denver, Colorado... they sell swim shorts in Denver... They also sell water skis and tanning lotion in Denver. Denver has a summertime... people build homes in the summer around Denver... does he need to have snowboots and a parka on? Not to mention he has 900000 fireplaces going in one room...im betting its 85 degrees in there and 15 outside... but what does it matter?
Ahhhhh.....not to mention he says the high is 90 degrees that day!!!
@@runerider11 Thank you Rob! We make theses video at the end of summer to prepare people for burn season in fall and winter.
It’s hotter then hell. He’s incredibly helpful.
Your videos are informative but long. 25 to 30 mins is a bit much in today’s attention deficit, TicTok minded society.
We make long and short form content. We also have a tiktok, follow us on there! Long format videos are so beneficial for the channel and give so much more information than the shorts.
Gas or electric HEATERS you mean? Why bother.
Lots of people like the especially in warmer climates. Thanks for watching!
The guy with the mask is over acting .
The water vaping fire place looks too artificial.
Come on people,open your eyes.
haha
Way toooooooo complicated
sorry
Dude...Electric...Gas. we in Switzerland are burning WOOOOOD...MAYBE the Brits got gas or electric...and you Americans...vut for us in Europe...thats soooo weird
