The glass on an electric fireplace won’t get hot because the flame isn’t real.

As such, electric fireplaces are much more child and pet-friendly than other types of fireplace.

Like any electric heater, the heating element itself will get very hot. As cooler air is being sucked in through the electric fireplace it provides its own form of ventilation.

You should be careful though where to place an electric fireplace unit in your room. Be sure to place it in an open area with plenty of ventilation, and keep it away from items such as curtains that may block the fireplace vents and potentially become a fire hazard.

For electric fireplace inserts, you won’t need to worry. The unit should slot straight into your existing fireplace.
