Tacoma shares the Pacific Northwest’s pattern of mild, wet winters and pleasant summers. Electric fireplaces are perfectly suited for homes in the South Sound:
Easily combat the damp chill common during Tacoma’s cooler seasons without needing to overheat your entire home with central heating.
Optimize your energy usage by warming only the rooms you are actively using, a smart strategy for managing heating costs.
Enjoy the relaxing glow and visual appeal of realistic flames anytime, with or without the heat – perfect for adding atmosphere even on mild Tacoma evenings.
Forget about wood piles, chimney cleaning, smoke, and ash. Get instant heat and beauty with simple controls, ideal for modern living.
While most standard plug-in electric fireplaces do not require special permits, any hardwired or built-in/recessed installations must comply with local electrical codes for safety and legality.
For specific requirements in Tacoma and surrounding areas, consult the official resources:
The City of Tacoma’s Planning and Development Services Department manages electrical permits for projects within Tacoma city limits. You can apply for permits, schedule inspections, and make payments through their online portal.
For areas outside Tacoma city limits, such as Lakewood, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, Fife, University Place, and Spanaway, the Pierce County Planning and Public Works Department oversees building and electrical permits. Their Development Center serves as the central location for permit applications, inspections, and related services.
For unincorporated areas of King County, including communities like Federal Way, the King County Department of Local Services provides information and resources for obtaining building and electrical permits. They offer online applications, inspection scheduling, and customer support services.
We strongly recommend hiring a qualified, licensed electrician familiar with Tacoma and Pierce County codes for any hardwired fireplace installation.
