The Best Electric Fireplace Inserts of 2023

The relatively low-cost Costway 28.5-inch electric fireplace insert offers performance similar to many more expensive competitors, with two heat settings: 750W and 1,500W. The manufacturer is one of few that also quotes BTU output at 2,559 and 5,118, respectively. Control it via the onboard controls behind a hidden panel, or use the intuitive remote.

A programmable thermostat maintains the selected heat settings between 62 degrees Fahrenheit and 82 degrees Fahrenheit. The unit includes an 8-hour timer and three flame effects, each with five levels of brightness. The Costway complies with ETL safety certification.

While this model cannot be mounted to a surface, it weighs just 27.5 pounds, making it easy to insert into stud walls, fireplace surrounds, or cabinets.
