Easy Installation Electric wall mount fireplaces can be installed in a new construction or a renovation. You don't require a gas line or venting system. They can be placed in your living room without much effort and look beautiful with or without heat. Their fan-powered heaters are also extremely efficient. The first step is to decide where you would like to place the electric fireplace. If you're building the wall from scratch or changing an existing one it's a good idea to mark your desired location with a cardboard cutout of the fireplace before starting any work. You'll need to decide whether you'd prefer to build the fireplace in a partially recessed or fully recessed style. Most electric fires are designed to be installed in a wall opening, either as a built-in or a built-in electric fireplace insert. This kind of installation requires the cutting of a hole in the wall to accommodate the dimensions and shape of the fireplace. If you're planning to build a fireplace that is built-in we suggest hiring a professional electrician to connect it to the electrical network of your home. Once you've determined where to place your electric fireplace, it's time to begin the installation process. Many models have a template you can use to indicate the location of the mounting brackets on your wall. If your fireplace doesn't have templates, you can use a pencil and a spirit level to make a straight line on the wall where you will have to drill holes for the brackets. After marking the spot after marking the spot, measure and cut pieces of drywall to fit in the opening. If you are converting an old fireplace, you'll need patch the walls prior to install the drywall. You may also decide to add a custom hearth and mantel in place of an existing wooden frame. If you are using an electric fireplace that's built-in, the back of the unit will have holes or slots to connect with the holes or slots in your mounting brackets. Some models have a power cable that you will need to connect to the wall and plug into an outlet. Consider using tackable or paintable power cord covers if you do not want to move the plug socket.
