There are a few things to think about before buying your in-wall fireplace. To make the most of your investment, adhere to these tips for a successful purchase:.

Height

Although it might seem like a simple question, figuring out the height of your fireplace is among the most crucial decisions you can make. The height of your fireplace will affect everything from how it fits in a room to its visibility. Your fireplace could look strange if it is raised too high. It will also take away from its attractiveness. On the other the other hand, having your fireplace set too low can cause it to be lost in the wall space.

Luckily, electric fireplaces are versatile enough to be installed at a variety of heights. For instance, most people prefer to put their fireplaces on the eye level from a seated position. This typically requires a height of 40-42 inches from the floor to the bottom of the fireplace. Others mount their ethanol fireplaces underneath their TVs, which can be visually appealing.

The height of your fireplace depends on a number of factors that include the dimensions and length of the wall you want to mount it on. The larger the space the more spacious it will be. This could mean that you're capable of fitting a larger fireplace in it. The length of the wall is also important, as a longer wall can support a fireplace that is larger.

The way you intend to use your fireplace is another important factor. If you plan to use it for decorative purposes, a smaller height will work best. If you plan to use it to heat your home you must ensure that the fireplace is tall and sturdy enough to meet the safety standards.

It is important to choose the proper size for your fireplace to ensure that it will match your decor and be simple to clean or fill. You can always consult a professional fireplace installer to assist you if you are unsure about the height you should choose. They can recommend the ideal height for your fireplace, according to their experience and your home's layout.

Depth

It is crucial to be aware of the depth of a fireplace when you are planning to place it in a recessed location. If you are planning to cut into the wall, ensure that you have enough space to accommodate your fireplace inserts's interior design (the space for the smoke shelf that is above the firebox and the flue that is atop the roof). You should also think about the space available for the surround and whether you would like a fireplace mantle.

Many of the newer electric models of fireplaces have an interior depth that is almost concealed, creating the appearance of a "built-in" appearance. This kind of wall fireplace that is electric is best illustrated by the Panorama BI Deep series. It has a 5.8-inch deep that allows the viewer view the flames and the ember bed, but not the frame. The media package includes driftwood logs with natural colors, white pebbles or clear glass crystals that enhance the embers and reflect the flames.

Gas wall-mounted fireplaces also come in both shallow and deep models. When deciding on the depth of your fireplace, it is essential to keep in mind that these fireplaces function as a heat source that can be used for supplemental purposes and should be properly vented by an experienced professional. When determining the depth for gas fireplaces it is important to think about the length of the vent pipe as well as the size of the chimney.

It is important to read and adhere to the instructions provided by the manufacturer before installing your fireplace. A professional installer is recommended in the majority of cases. It is best to have an extra person on hand when installing gas fireplaces.

The addition of a fireplace in the wall place to your home is a fantastic option to enhance it and add ambience. It can also help lower your heating costs. Furthermore, it's an ideal option if are unable to fit traditional fireplaces in your home because of space limitations or due to the location of an existing chimney.

Surface Mount

Surface mounts are an excellent alternative if you don't want to or aren't able to cut into the wall to install an electric fireplace. They also give it a sleek built-in appearance. Some models, like the Allusion line of electric fireplaces, can be mounted partially recessed into a wall, without compromising heat output.

To start the installation process, identify the area where you want your fireplace to be installed and make a mark using a pencil on the wall where the bracket will be installed. Use a stud finder to locate the studs in the area. Make sure each mounting bracket will be placed in front of one or more studs for stability. If a stud isn't in reach or doesn't work for your fireplace, make use of anchors for drywall to help support the mounting bracket.

After you have marked the location of mounting brackets on the wall and then use a power drill to screw them in and make sure they are aligned correctly with the studs. You can use studs or plastic anchors to secure each bracket. After the mounting brackets have been installed move the fireplace and hang it from the bracket. Once the fireplace is positioned, make sure it is level.

Before you begin the installation make sure to plug in your fireplace and make sure all functions function properly. Light the fire, test the flames, the heat, lights for the ember bed and the list goes on. Once you're happy with the results, it's time to install your floating mantel.

Depending on the type of your fireplace, you'll either need to connect its wire connection to the appliance wire connector at the bottom of the mantel or if the fireplace has slots or hooks on the back, connect them to the slots on the wall mounting brackets. Once you've completed this step, consult your fireplace's user manual to learn how to remove the glass front panel from the opening and replace it.

If you want 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 across the top of the grate for an organic appearance, then secure it using the screws included.

Plug-In

Unlike traditional wood-burning fireplaces, electric fireplaces don't require vents or chimneys. Plugged into a standard outlet they provide additional heating for rooms up to 400 square feet. You can also adjust the ambiance with multiple flame and heat settings. Some models have LED lighting effects that highlight the embers and fire. Some models feature an overhanging grille that hides the manual controls, however they it can be opened easily to reveal the pushbuttons.

Plug-in electric fireplaces can be hung directly on walls or built into the wall to create an aesthetically pleasing appearance. These fireplaces are usually more straightforward to set up than mantel fireplaces. Some units include a pedestal to allow you to put the fireplace on flat surfaces, such as dressers or buffets. A remote control along with mounting hardware and a log set are also included. Depending on the model, electric fireplaces can include heating and flame options that can be turned off to provide ambiance throughout the year.

Certain models come with privacy glass which can be changed in a flash from completely transparent to partially transparent. This feature makes these models popular for walls that divide common entertainment spaces like dining and living areas. These models can be used in bedrooms, where adding fireplaces is a cost-effective method to warm a room and maintain privacy.

While plug-in electric fireplaces don't need to be hardwired like traditional fireplaces, they must be installed on an area that is at least not stud-free and is able to support the weight of the fireplace. Some models include an accessory kit to make this process easier by providing an electrical power cord that is pre-wired and a special mounting bracket. This kit can be used for the installation of drywall or concrete.

When deciding on a place for your wall mount electric fireplace, make sure it's near an electrical outlet. Depending on the model, plug-in electric fireplaces can be connected to outlets that are connected to the same circuit or a dedicated one for your electric fireplace. It is recommended to use a separate circuit to ensure that no other appliances in your home can run on the same voltage. This could cause a trip to your breakers.
