It is among the simplest electric fireplaces.

There are a few aspects to take into consideration prior to purchasing your in-wall fireplace. Follow these suggestions to get the most out of your purchase.

Height

It might seem like an easy question however, determining the height of your fireplace is among the most important decisions you'll make. The height of your fireplace can influence everything from how it fits into a room to its visibility. A fireplace that is too high can look unnatural and detract from the aesthetics of the piece. A fireplace that is too low will be lost within the wall space.

Electric fireplaces can be placed at various levels. For instance, most people prefer to put their fireplaces at eye level from a sitting position. This requires a height between 40 and 42 inches. Some people place their cheap fireplaces underneath their TVs. This is an attractive option.

The height of your fireplace is contingent on a number of factors such as the length and size of the wall you intend to put it on. The bigger the room is, the bigger it will be. This could mean that you are in a position to fit a bigger fireplace into it. The length of a wall is also important since a wall that is larger can support a fireplace that is larger.

The way you intend to use your fireplace is another important factor. If you are planning to use it to decorate your home, a lower height is best. If you plan to use it to heat your house you must make sure that the fireplace is sturdy and tall enough to withstand the safety standards.

A proper height for your fireplace will allow you to make sure that it is in line with the decor of the room and is easy to work with when cleaning or filling it. You can always ask a professional fireplace installation expert to assist you if are unsure of the size you should pick. They can suggest the best height for your fireplace, according to their experience and your home's layout.

Depth

It is essential to be aware of the depth of a fireplace, especially if you intend to put it in a recessed position. If you're planning to cut into your wall, make sure that you have enough depth to accommodate the design of your fireplace (the smoke shelf area above the fireplace box, the flue which runs through the roof, and the fireplace itself). You should also consider the space available for the surround and whether you want a fireplace mantle.

Many of the latest electric wooden Fireplaces come with a depth that is nearly concealed, creating the appearance of a "built-in" appearance. This kind of wall fireplace that is electric is best demonstrated by the Panorama BI Deep series. This model has a 5.8-inch deep that allows the viewer view the flames and ember bed and not the frame. It also comes with a variety of media options, including natural-looking driftwood logs white pebbles, clear glass crystals that reflect the flames and enhance the ember bed.

Wall-mounted gas fireplaces are also available in deep and shallow models. When deciding on the depth of your fireplace, it is essential to remember that these fireplaces work as a heat source that can be used for supplemental purposes and must be properly vented by an experienced professional. The length of the vent pipe, the length of the flue, and the distance from the stove to the vent are all aspects that must be considered when determining the depth of a fireplace made of gas.

It is essential to read and carefully follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when installing your fireplace. A professional installer is recommended in the majority of cases. It is also an excellent idea to have a second person in the house for the installation of an ethanol fireplace.

A fireplace built into the wall of your home could be an great way to boost its value and also add ambiance to your living spaces. It can also help lower the cost of heating. Furthermore, it's an excellent option if you cannot install traditional fireplaces in your home due to space limitations or due to the location of your existing chimney.

Surface Mount

Surface mounts are a great option if you don't wish to or can't cut into the wall to install an electric fireplace. They also give it a sleek, built-in appearance. Certain models, such as the Allusion line, can even be installed partially recessed into a wall without compromising heat output or aesthetics.

To begin the installation process, you must determine where you want your fireplace to be located and make a mark with a pencil on the wall where the bracket will be erected. Utilize a stud locater to locate the studs within that area and make sure the mounting bracket is placed in the vicinity of one or more studs for stability. If a stud is not reached or isn't suitable for your fireplace, use drywall anchors to provide support.

Once you've marked the location of the brackets for mounting, use a drill to screw them into the wall, making sure they are aligned with the studs. You can use plastic anchors or studs to connect each bracket. Once the mounting brackets are installed move the fireplace and hang it from the bracket. When the fireplace is positioned ensure that it is level.

Before you begin the installation Plug in your fireplace and make sure all the features are working properly. Start the fire, experiment with the heat, the lighting of the ember bed, and other features. When you are satisfied with the results, it's time to put in the floating mantel.

Depending on your fireplace's model You'll either have to connect the wire connection to the appliance connector located at the mantel's bottom, or if it has hooks or slots connecting them to slots on the mounting brackets. Once you've done that you must follow the owner's manual to find specific instructions for removing the glass front panel and installing it into the opening.

Once you've removed the front panel of your fireplace and installed it in its opening, follow your manual's specifications to finish the install by replacing the glass front and adjusting the height as necessary. If your fireplace comes with ember bed media, spread it over the top of the grate to give it a an appearance that is more natural and then secure it in place using the screws included.

Plug-In

Electric fireplaces don't require chimneys or vents as do traditional wood-burning ones. They're plugged into an outlet that is standard and provide additional heating for rooms that can be that are up 400 square feet in size. They also offer multiple flame and heat settings so that you can alter your ambience. Some models have LED lighting effects that emphasize the flame and embers. Others include the top grille grate which hides manual controls but easily pops open to reveal buttons to set the desired setting.

Electric fireplaces that plug in can be mounted directly on walls or installed into the wall for an aesthetically pleasing appearance. These units are usually simpler to install than mantel wooden fireplaces. Some have pedestal bases to allow you to place the fireplace on a flat surface like buffets or dressers. There is an remote control, mounting hardware and a log set. These electric fireplaces can include both heat and flame options that can be shut off to create a year-round ambience.

Certain models come with adjustable privacy glass that can change instantly from fully transparent to partially. This option makes these models popular for walls that divide common spaces for entertainment, such as living and dining spaces. They can also be utilized in bedrooms where adding a fireplace is a cost-effective way to reduce the chill in a room without sacrificing privacy.

Plug-in electric fireplaces do not require a hardwire like built-in versions they must be mounted within the wall that is at a minimum not stud-free and is able to support the weight of the fireplace. Some models include a kit to make this process more simple by providing a pre-wired power cord as well as a special mounting bracket. This kit can be used for concrete or drywall installation.

If you opt to install your wall-mounted electric fireplace ensure that it is close to an outlet. Electric fire places that plug in can be connected to outlets that are on the same circuit as the electric fireplace or into a separate outlet. It is suggested to have a separate circuit so that there are no other appliances in your home can be powered by the same voltage. This could trigger your circuit breaker.
