An electric fireplace insert and methods for simulating the light and sound effects of real burning fuel utilize one or more of a light emitting diode (LED) down lighting system, an LED flame light system, and an LED ember bed light system which work together to make the electric fireplace insert more closely resemble the appearance and sounds of a traditional fuel-burning fireplace. By simultaneously and independently changing the brightness of several groups of LEDs of the LED down lighting system, a shadow motion effect of ambient light similar to that seen in a traditional fuel-burning fireplace can be simulated. By simultaneously and independently changing the brightness of several groups of LEDs of the LED ember bed lighting system, a rolling motion, or side-to-side, effect of light inside the ember bed can be simulated. The flashing of the LEDs of the LED ember bed lighting system and/or the LED simulated fuel lighting system can also be synchronized by the CPU with crackling sounds that may be stored on a memory chip and emitted by the audio speaker to simulate the sparks and associated crackling noise of burning fuel. The electric fireplace insert can be included in a fireplace housing having a front portion to which can be attached one of a set of different-looking, removable, decorative face plates.
