Amish Fireplaces: What You Need to Know About the Classic Flame Electric Fireplace Insert

Seth Carter 10/01/2025

Many of our Amish builders use the Classic Flame Electric Fireplace Insert for their Amish fireplaces. Today, we will get into why the Classic Flame insert is so popular with our expert craftsmen.

Why We Use Classic Flame Electric Fireplace Insert

Classic Flame’s Advanced 3D Flame® Effect:

The patented technology of the Classic Flame insert provides what many believe are the most realistic-looking electric fireplace insert flames. The technology even makes the 3D Flames look better than real ones!

How does Classic Flame’s Electric Fireplace Insert look so realistic?

Classic Flame uses LED lights, mirrors, and hand-finished logs. Some inserts even utilize a water vapor system.

The 3D Flame® Effect technology allows you to pick from multiple flame colors, control the speed and brightness, and show off the flames dancing behind the logs for even more realism.

The ability to customize your flames fits right in with the customizability that makes Amish furniture so special. The logs are even hand-finished to add to the realism.

The Year-Round Ambiance of Classic Flame’s Electric Fireplace Insert

Another great feature of the Classic Flame insert is that you can turn on your customized flames without initiating heat. Your electric fireplace experience can be purely aesthetic.

Classic Flame Safety Features

Electric Fireplace Inserts like Classic Flame are considerably safer than traditional wood or gas-powered fireplaces. One big difference is you don’t need to worry about children or pets burning themselves on the surface of the electric fireplace.

The Classic Flame insert also comes with a couple of wonderful safety features.

  • Safer Sensor™: Shuts off the unit when obstructed to prevent accidents.
  • Safer Plug™: Monitors temperature and cuts power in unsafe conditions.

Energy Efficiency and Heating Performance

Our fireplace inserts are typically 1,500 watts. Even if you run your Amish electric fireplace for a long time, it will have a limited impact on your electric bill. If you are curious how much it will cost to use an electric fireplace with a Classic Flame insert, check out our Electric Fireplace Cost Calculator.

  • Adjustable thermostat (62°F – 82°F).
  • Infrared heating technology that warms up to 1,000 square feet.
  • LED displays and timers for precise control.

Electric fireplaces with Classic Flame inserts allow you to supplement your heating system through zone heating. If you have electric fireplaces in areas of the home that are most frequented, you can keep the thermostat for the entire house a little lower, saving money.

Healthier Heating Option

The infrared quartz heater maintains humidity and oxygen levels, providing comfortable, allergy-friendly heat.

User-Friendly Features of Classic Flame Inserts

Adjust settings from the comfort of your sofa with the Classic Flame remote control.

The ability to customize your flame color, speed, and size gives you the flexibility to match your mood or the changing colors outside the window.
