A More Realistic Electric Fireplace

Add some sound FX to your electric fireplace!

Some time ago we added a magical element to our living room: an electric fireplace.

The feeling and the ambiance it gives to our home is great, I totally recommend you to get one if you were thinking about it.

Now the little detail that this appliance is missing is the sound of fire burning that one hears with real wood and flames.

But hey, let’s fix that right now!

Install the fireplace
Install the appliance in your home. Check beforehand the electrical requirements since it may consume some serious power depending on the heating it provides.

These electric fireplaces can be installed by hanging them on the wall or recessed into one, your choice.

It’s also your choice to buy one or build your very own as described in this write-up by Ben Eagan.

On my side, I created a box with some 2x4’s regularly used in building walls and I finished it with drywall. This is very popular in North America. You’ll need some DIY skills or a friend who has them. You can find some guidance here.”
