Electric fireplaces imitate the look of a real fire by producing realistic flame effects and providing supplementary heat from an additional heater inside the unit.

Electric fireplaces can use rotating light components and blowers to generate the flames and heat respectively. With all of these mechanical parts can electric fireplaces be noisy?

Depending on the components used inside an electric fireplace some can be noisy while others can operate very quietly. Electric fireplaces that use infrared heaters are typically quieter.

The flame effects in an electric fireplace are commonly created using a combination of rotating mirrors and lights.

They use an arrangement of lights and a rotisserie style bar of strategically placed mirrors in order to project the look of flames onto a screen.

A certain amount of space is required within an electric fireplace in order for the flame effects to be created in this way, which is why you’ll find that the majority of electric fireplaces aren’t super thin.

Our electric fireplace stove uses this method to create the flame effects.

Our electric fireplace stove allows us to have the flames operating without the heat. We find that the noises created from the components inside the electric fireplace that are producing the flames aren’t too loud.

The video below shows our electric fireplace in operation and gives you an indication of the amount of noise you can expect from an electric fireplace that utilizes these sorts of components.
