Ventilation

Electric fireplaces that are mounted on a wall can provide functionality and style without the hassles of installing a fireplace.

Some electric wall-mounted fire places are multi-view while others are only front-view. These are usually a little bit larger than single-view models and permit you to view the flames from two or more sides of the room.

Installation

As the name implies wall-mounted electric fireplaces are designed to be fixed on the wall, typically with a bracket for mounting. They are generally easy to install, though the exact procedure will differ between models. Some models are attached to the wall using screws while others require an opening around them. In any case, you must be sure to follow the directions that come with the fire. Be sure that the framed opening size is correct and that you position the unit according to any safety guidelines.

The first step is locate a spot that works for your fireplace. Take into consideration the style of the room and the furniture you have. You should also check that the location is near enough to a power source, or if you are willing to have an electrician move a plug socket (if one is already in place) for you.

After you've located a suitable spot to put the fireplace, you must prepare the space by clearing it and removing any furniture and preparing the wall. This may include the removal of any wallpaper or other decorations, as well locating and marking any studs using the help of a Studfinder.

The brackets that are used for wall-mounted electric fireplaces come with a template to drill holes. You can use this template to mark the spot on the wall where they'll be mounted. Once you've marked the positions then drill the holes and then install the rawl plugs. In general the heater, which is placed in front of the fireplace, and produces heat, must be at least 400mm away from any combustible material, like fabric.

After the holes have been drilled, you'll need to install the mounting bracket. Certain models will require you install the firebox onto the bracket, while others ask you to mount the fireplace onto the bracket before you attach the screen. In either case, it's important that you follow the installation instructions exactly so you don't damage your new appliance. Once the fireplace is installed, plug it in and check it to ensure it's functioning properly.
