Frequently Asked Questions

Are electric fireplaces safe to use outdoors?
Only models whose manufacturer manual approves outdoor installation, and only when the manual's conditions are met. The manuals for the models in this collection describe them as suitable for installation in outdoor areas protected from direct water impingement. An indoor-only electric fireplace should never be installed outdoors.

Can an electric fireplace be installed on a covered patio?
Yes, if the model's manual permits outdoor installation and the location meets its requirements. The manuals call for protection from direct water, a rain-protection overhang that extends to the front and each side of the fireplace by at least half the roof-line height (measured from the base of the fireplace), and wiring that follows local building codes. Check local codes and regulations before installing.

What should I look for in an outdoor electric fireplace?
Look for an outdoor installation section in the manufacturer's manual that applies to your specific model, since ratings and requirements differ from model to model. Also confirm the electrical setup: the manuals call for a grounded 15-amp, 120-volt branch circuit (preferably dedicated), no extension cords, and ground-fault protection where electrical code requires it. Use a licensed electrician for any new circuit or hardwired connection.

Can an outdoor electric fireplace be exposed directly to rain or weather?
No. The manuals for these fireplaces require installation in an area protected from direct water, away from locations prone to moisture. A covered patio or sheltered outdoor room with the required overhang is the intended setting, not an open, fully exposed installation.
