How hot does the glass get on an electric fireplace?

Unlike the glass on a wood burning fireplace or a gas model, the glass on an electric fireplace will not get hot. Even with the heat on, the glass will stay relatively cool to the touch and should not cause any safety concerns. Since there’s no actual fire in the firebox, if the heat is on, it’s directed out a top or bottom louver and the glass may be warm but is not excessively hot.

Joseph G. Bodden is a Wisconsin native and is semi-retired after 40+ years in marketing, sales and technical customer service work. Over 28 of those years have been in the fireplace industry, many as the Hearth Division Manager in an organization that operates two retail shops. During that time, Bodden was certified by the National Fireplace Institute in wood & gas technologies. He was also selected several times by Hearth & Home magazine as a judge for the annual VESTA awards that recognize manufacturers creativity and innovation in product design and technology. One thing that Joe particularly finds fulfilling is explaining fairly complex subjects to fireplace customers and steering them to specific products that will satisfy their objectives. There’s nothing like unsolicited positive feedback from a happy customer! Bodden continues to live in north central Wisconsin with his bride of 47 years. He enjoys the outdoors, playing guitar and spending time with their grandson and five granddaughters.
