I was thinking about getting an electric fireplace. However, I live in a mobile home and I am not sure about the wiring because it is pretty old. I like the idea of a gel fireplace too, but does it produce heat? Is it safe, does it cause fumes and does it run at all on electricity?
Answer
There are literal 100's of eclectic fireplaces that are on the market today to choose from.
They have them with a nice wooden mantle and some that even look like wood stoves.
They have an electric fan that throws out the heat and fake logs and lights to make them look real.
I bought the wood stove type for my bedroom because I live in a log home so it looks nice.
Mines throws out lots of heat and I am very happy with it.
They are very safe, affordable and look great.
To make mine look more real I added some small real logs to the exciting ones. It turned out looking great.
I would not use anything in your home with old electrical wires. Either have the electrical wires completely replaced or buy one of the new ones I describe.
There are always lots of these for sale in my local newspaper where people are moving and don't need them any more.
Also in just a couple of weeks there will be lots of these new and on sale after the holidays. In January all of these types of things are on sale to make way for spring items.
Be safe and good luck.

Is it possible to install an electric fireplace insert (logs only) into an existing fireplace surround?

That is the perfect answer. Thanks so much!

"If you've already got a perfectly good wood-burning fireplace that you're not using, why not make use of that? You can get a simple set of electric logs that are designed to be tucked into an existing firebox. Unlike with a regular fireplace, where you have to haul in the wood, light the fire, and keep an eye on it until it goes out, electric logs work with a flip of a switch. True, they're not as cool looking as the real thing, but there's a lot to be said for convenience. And most electric logs can be moved if you want to build a real fire.
An example of some inexpensive, but still decent looking, logs is this set from Classic Home Elements. At about $150, they're a lot cheaper than buying a whole electric fireplace (which includes mantle, surround, and all the stuff you don't really need if you've got a fireplace already).
