Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers usually ask us.

We designed this page to make fireplace shopping feel easier. Browse by topic, open the questions that apply to you, or contact us directly for personalized help.

Ordering

Before and after you place an order

Because many fireplaces, mantels, and related products are ordered specifically for each customer, cancellations may not always be possible once an order has been processed.

If you need to cancel or change an order, contact us as soon as possible. If the item has already shipped, been prepared for delivery, or been specially ordered, return shipping, original shipping costs, or restocking fees may apply.

Yes. We recommend contacting us before ordering if you are unsure about sizing, installation type, flame style, brand differences, delivery, or whether a fireplace will work for your space.

Call us at 905-607-1569 or email sales@theelectricfireplaceshop.com.

Some products may be in stock, while others may need to be ordered from the manufacturer or supplier. Availability can change quickly depending on brand, size, finish, and model.

If timing is important, contact us before ordering and we can help confirm the best current availability.

Absolutely. Send us the models you are considering and we can help compare flame appearance, heat output, install type, dimensions, trim options, warranty, and overall value.

Delivery & Shipping

How your fireplace gets to you

Yes. We offer $199 flat-rate shipping across Canada on qualifying orders under $1,999, with free standard shipping on qualifying orders $1,999 and over.

Remote destinations and select oversized products may require a custom freight quote. If your order requires special freight arrangements, checkout may ask you to contact us before completing your purchase.

For more information, review our Delivery & Pickup page or contact us before ordering.

In-stock products are usually ready faster, while special-order fireplaces depend on current manufacturer availability and shipping timelines.

If you need a fireplace by a certain date, contact us before ordering so we can help confirm realistic timing.

Yes. Free local delivery is available on qualifying orders $999 and over within our local Burlington-area delivery zone.

Local delivery eligibility is determined by the delivery postal code entered at checkout. Larger fireplaces may still qualify for local delivery even when they require a custom freight quote for destinations outside our local area.

Please inspect your order as soon as it arrives. If you notice visible damage, contact us immediately and include photos of the packaging, product, and any damage.

Depending on the situation, we may help arrange replacement parts, repair support, an exchange, or a freight claim when applicable.

Returns & Refunds

Clear return expectations

Please contact us before returning any item. We will confirm whether the product is eligible and provide the correct next steps.

Return eligibility usually depends on timing, condition, packaging, whether the item was opened, and whether it was special ordered.

Products should be unused, in resellable condition, and returned in their original packaging. Opened products may be subject to a restocking fee.

Opened products may be subject to a 20% restocking fee. Some special-order, custom, damaged, installed, used, or non-resellable products may not qualify for return.

Once the item has been received and inspected, approved refunds are issued back to the original payment method. Your bank or card provider may take additional time to post the refund.

Installation

Fireplace setup basics

No. Electric fireplaces do not require venting, gas lines, chimneys, or combustion air. This is one of the reasons they are popular for condos, basements, media walls, bedrooms, and renovations.

Many electric fireplaces can be installed below a TV, but the best setup depends on the fireplace model, heat outlet location, wall design, clearances, and manufacturer instructions.

Always review the manual before installing. If you are unsure, send us the model and your wall layout and we can help you think through the design.

Some electric fireplaces plug into a standard outlet, while others can be hardwired or may require a dedicated circuit depending on the model and installation.

For built-in or hardwired installations, we recommend working with a qualified electrician.

Contact us with your project details and location. We can help advise on fireplace selection and discuss available options depending on the type of product and scope of the project.
