Electric wall mount fireplace s are easy to install in the construction or renovation project, and you won't need a venting system or gas lines. They can be hung in your living space without much effort and look beautiful with or without heat. Their fan-powered heating systems are also extremely efficient.
The first step in installing an electric fireplace is to determine where you want it to go. Before you begin any work, mark the desired location of your electric fireplace using a cardboard cutout. You'll need to decide if you'd like to put in the fireplace in a partially recessed or fully recessed style.
Most electric fires are designed to be mounted in a wall, whether as a built-in or an electric fireplace that is built-in. This kind of installation will require a hole to be cut in the wall for the dimensions and shape of the fireplace. If you are planning to build a fireplace with a built-in feature we suggest hiring a professional electrician to connect it to your home's electric network.
Once you've determined where to mount your electric fire then it's time to begin the installation process. Many models will have a template which you can use to determine the exact location where the brackets for mounting will need to be placed on the wall. If your fireplace doesn't come with an outline you can use a spirit level and pencil to draw an even line on the wall where the mounting brackets will be.
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'll have to patch the wall prior installing the drywall. You may also opt to build an individual hearth and mantel in place of an existing wooden frame.
If you're using a built in electric fireplace it will have hooks or slots on the back of the unit that will connect to the slots or hooks on your mounting brackets. Some models will also have a power cord that you'll need to run through the wall and connect to an outlet. If you don't want move the plug socket, consider tackable or paintable power cord covers to create a clean finish.
