How to Remove an Electric Fireplace?

Looking to replace your electric fireplace with the warm, inviting flames of a bioethanol fireplace? You’re in the right place.

Many customers reach out to us about converting their old fireplaces into eco-friendly bioethanol ones. While it may seem complex, the process is actually quite simple.

If you have an older fireplace or wood-burning stove with a unique aesthetic, you can keep its charm intact. There’s no need to remove the bricks or disconnect the flue—just clean the base, and you’re ready to install a new bioethanol insert. Our Bioethanol Fireplace Conversion Kit includes everything you need for this transformation.

If your stove has front glass, you may consider removing it to enhance heat output. However, as long as the burner gets sufficient oxygen, removal isn’t necessary.

If you need a larger bioethanol burner than what’s included in the kit, our customer service team can help you customize a solution.
