Easy Installation
Electric wall mount fireplaces are easy to install in the construction or renovation project, and you won't need a venting system or gas lines. They can be put up in your living space without much effort and look great with or without heat. Their heaters powered by fans are extremely efficient.
The first step is to decide the best location to put the electric fireplace. If you're building a new wall or converting an existing one it's best to mark the desired location with a cut-out of cardboard of the fireplace prior to beginning any work. You'll need to decide if you want to install the fireplace in a partially or fully recessed style.
Most electric fireplaces are designed to be hung in a wall opening, either as a built-in fireplace or a built-in electric fireplace insert. This kind of installation requires an opening in the wall to accommodate the size and shape of the fireplace. If you plan to build a fireplace that is built-in we suggest hiring an electrician who is experienced to connect it to the electric network in your home.
Installing your electric fireplace is a breeze after you've decided the place it will be placed. Most models will include a template that you can use to mark the exact location where the brackets for mounting will need to be placed on the wall. If your fireplace isn't equipped with an outline, use a pencil and a spirit level to draw an equilateral line on the wall where you will need to drill holes for the brackets.
After marking the area, cut and measure the pieces of drywall to fit the opening. If you're planning to convert an existing fireplace, you will have to patch the wall before installing the drywall. You can also build a custom mantel and hearth to replace an existing wood frame.
If you're using an electric fireplace that is built-in, the back of the unit will have holes or slots to connect with the holes or slots on the mounting brackets. Certain models come with an electrical power cable that will require you to connect to the wall, and then plug into an outlet. If you don't wish to move the plug socket, consider tackable or paintable power cord covers to create a neat look.
