It could also detract from its attractiveness. On the other side, having your fireplace too low can cause it to be lost in the wall space.

Electric fireplaces can be erected at different heights. The majority of people place their fireplaces electric from a sitting position at eye level. This requires a height between 40-42 inches. Some fireplaces are mounted under their TVs, which can be visually appealing.

However, the exact size of your fireplace will be determined by certain factors, such as the size of the room and the length of the wall on which you'd like to place it. The larger the space is, the bigger it will be. This could mean that you're in a position to fit a bigger fireplace in it. The same goes for the length of the wall, because a wall that is longer can accommodate a fireplace that is larger.

The way you plan to utilize your fireplace is an important aspect. If you only intend to use it for ornamental purposes, a smaller height will work best. If you intend to heat your home using it, you'll need make sure that the fireplace is tall enough to satisfy local codes and safety standards.

Depth

It is crucial to be aware of the depth of a fireplace if you plan to install it in an recessed position. If you are going to cut through your wall, ensure that you have enough depth to accommodate the inner design of your fireplace (the smoke shelf that is above the firebox, the flue that rises through the roof, and the fireplace itself). You should also consider the space you'll need for the surround and whether you would like a mantle.

Many of the more recent electric fireplace models have a depth which is almost invisible, creating an "integrated" appearance. This type of electric wall fireplace is best exemplified by the Panorama BI Deep series. The model is 5.8-inch depth that lets the viewer see the flames, ember bed and not the frame. The media package includes driftwood logs in natural appearance white pebbles, ethanol fireplaces as well as clear glass crystals that add a luster to the embers and reflect the flames.

Gas wall-mounted fireplaces can be found in both deep and shallow models. When deciding on the depth of your fireplace it is important to keep in mind that these units are supplemental heat sources and should be vented properly 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 factors that must be considered when determining the depth of a gas fireplace.

It is crucial to read and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when mounting your fireplace. In most instances, hiring a professional to install your fireplace is advised. It is best to have an extra person available when installing gas fireplaces.

Installing a fireplace in the wall of your home can be an ideal way to increase its value and add ambiance to your living spaces. It also can help reduce your heating costs. It's an excellent alternative if you cannot fit a traditional fireplace in your home due to space constraints or due to the location of a chimney.

Surface Mount

Surface mounts are a great alternative if you don't want to or aren't able cut into the wall to install an electric fireplace. They also provide a sleek, built-in look. Some models, such as the Allusion line, can be installed partially recessed into the wall without compromising on the heat output or aesthetics.

To begin the installation, mark the wall with a pencil on the wall where the bracket is to be placed. Utilize a stud-finder to find the studs and then place the brackets in front of at least one stud to ensure stability. If a stud is not accessible or isn't suitable for your fireplace, use anchors for drywall to support the mounting bracket.

Once you've determined the location of the brackets to be mounted, use a drill to screw them into the wall ensuring they are properly aligned with the studs. You can use studs or plastic anchors to attach each bracket. After the mounting brackets are installed, lift the fireplace and hang it from the bracket. Once it's secure, check the position of your fireplace to make sure that it's level and not crooked in the opening.

Before you begin the installation make sure to plug in your fireplace and make sure that all functions function properly. Then, light the fire, experiment with the heating, the ember bed lights and so on. When you're satisfied with your results you can now install your floating mantel.

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

If you need to adjust the height and width, you should replace the glass front once you have removed the front panel. If your fireplace comes with ember bed media, spread it over the top of the grate to give it a a more natural appearance and then secure it using the screws included.

Plug-In

Unlike traditional wood-burning fireplaces, these electric versions don't need chimneys or vents. They're plugged into standard outlets, providing supplemental heat for rooms that are up to 400 square feet in size. They also come with a variety of heating and flame settings, so that you can alter your ambiance. Some models have LED lighting effects to highlight the fire and embers. Other models include an upper grille grate that hides manual controls but easily opens to reveal pushbuttons to set the desired setting.

Electric ethanol fire (on front page) places with plug-ins can be installed directly on the wall or recessed for the appearance of a built-in. These units are usually simpler to install than mantel fireplaces. Some models have a pedestal that allow you place the fireplace on flat surfaces like a dresser or buffet. A remote control, mounting hardware and log set are also included. Depending on the model, these electric marble fireplaces can include heat and flame options that can be turned off for all-year-round comfort.

Certain models come with privacy glass that can be adjusted instantly from completely transparent to partially transparent. These models are popular for walls that separate spaces for entertainment like dining and living rooms. These models can be used in bedrooms, where adding a fireplace is a cost-effective way to warm up a space and keep it private.

Plug-in electric fire places don't require a hardwire, but they must be plugged into a wall capable of supporting their weight. Certain models come with a kit that comes with a pre-wired cord and a specially designed bracket to make the installation process easier. This kit can be used for the installation of drywall or concrete.

If you decide to install your electric fireplace on the wall, be sure that it is located near 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 designated outlet. It is recommended to use a separate circuit to ensure that no other appliances in the home will run on the same voltage and potentially trip your breaker.
