A fireplace in the wall gives an elegant and polished appearance without the expense of a mantle. It is one of the most simple electric fireplaces to put in.
There are a few aspects to take into consideration prior to purchasing your in wall fireplace. To maximize the value of your investment, consider these tips for a successful purchase:.
Height
It may appear to be a simple question however, determining the height of your fireplace is one of the biggest decisions you will make. This is because the height of your fireplace can affect everything from how it will fit in a room to how visible it is. Having your fireplace raised too high could look odd and diminish the aesthetics of the piece. On the other side, having your fireplace too low will cause it to disappear in the wall space.
Luckily, electric fireplaces are versatile enough to be positioned at a variety of heights. For instance, a majority of people prefer to place their fireplaces at eye level from a sitting position. This requires a height of 40 and 42 inches. Others mount their fireplaces underneath their TVs, which can be visually appealing.
However, the exact height of your fireplace will be determined by a few things, including the size of the room and the length of the wall where you'd like to place it. The larger a room is larger, the more spacious it will be which could mean that you can install a bigger fireplace in it. The length of the wall is also crucial since a wall that is larger can support a fireplace that is larger.
How you intend to use your fireplace is another important aspect. If you intend to use it only to decorate your home, it is recommended to choose a lower height. If you're planning to heat your home using it, you'll have to make sure that the fireplace is tall enough to satisfy local codes and safety standards.

You can always consult an expert fireplace installer to assist you if you aren't sure what size you should pick. They can suggest the best height for your fireplace, in accordance with their expertise and the design of your home's design.
Depth
A fireplace's depth is important to know if you plan to put it in a recessed place. If you are going to cut your wall, make sure that you have enough space to accommodate the design of your fireplace (the smoke shelf above the fireplace, the flue that rises through the roof, and the fireplace itself). You should also consider the space you have available for the surround and if you'd like a fireplace mantle.
Many of the newer electric models of fireplaces have the depth of being almost concealed, creating an almost "built-in" appearance. This kind of electric wall fireplace is best exemplified by the Panorama BI Deep series. The model is 5.8-inch depth that lets the viewer view the flames and ember bed and not the frame. It is also equipped with a range of media options, including natural looking driftwood logs white fireplace pebbles, clear glass crystals that reflect the flames and improve the ember bed.
Gas wall-mounted fireplaces also come in deep and shallow models. However, when deciding on the depth of your fireplace it is crucial to remember that these fireplaces function as a supplemental heat source and should be properly vented by a knowledgeable professional. When determining the size of gas fireplaces you must think about the length of the vent pipe as well as the size of the chimney.
It is essential to read and adhere to the instructions of the manufacturer before installing your fireplace. In the majority of instances, a professional installation is recommended. It is also good to have an extra person on hand when installing gas fireplaces.
The addition of an in-wall fireplace place to your home is an excellent way to add value to it and create ambiance. It can also lower your heating expenses. Additionally, it's an ideal option if cannot install traditional fireplaces in your home due to space limitations or due to the location of an existing chimney.
Surface Mount
Surface mounts are a great option if you don't wish to or can't cut into the wall to mount an electric fireplace. They also provide a sleek, built-in appearance. Some models, such as the Allusion line of electric fireplaces, can be installed partially recessed into a wall without compromising the output of heat.
To begin the installation process, identify where you want your fireplace to be installed and mark the area with a pencil on the wall where the bracket will be installed. Utilize a stud locater to find the studs in the area. Make sure every mounting bracket is in front of one or more studs for stability. If a stud isn't in reach or doesn't work for your fireplace, use anchors for drywall to support the mounting bracket.
Once you have determined the position of the mounting brackets on the wall, use a power drill to install them and ensure that they are aligned correctly with the studs. If possible, connect each bracket to a stud to ensure security and strength, but you can also use anchors made of plastic in the event of need. Once the mounting brackets have been installed move the fireplace and hang it from the bracket. After it's secured, you can check the position of your fireplace to make sure that it is straight and not crooked in the opening.
Before you proceed with the installation, connect your fireplace and ensure that all the features are functioning correctly - turn on the fire, and then light up the flames, play around with heat, ember bed lights and more. When you're satisfied with your results, it's time to install your floating mantel.
Depending on the model of your fireplace, you'll need to connect its wire connection to the appliance wire connector on the mantel's bottom or if the fireplace has hooks or slots on the back, connect them to the slots on the wall mounting brackets. Once you've done that, follow your fireplace's owner's manual for specific instructions for removing the glass front panel and inserting it inside the opening.
After you've removed the front panel of your fireplace and placed it in its opening, follow your instructions in the manual to complete the installation by replacing the glass front and adjusting the height if required. If your fireplace is equipped with ember bed media, spread it over the top grille to create a natural appearance. Secure it using the included screws.
Plug-In
Unlike traditional wood-burning fireplaces, electric fireplaces don't require vents or chimneys. They're plugged into a standard outlet and provide additional heating for rooms that can be up 400 square feet. They also come with a variety of heating and flame settings, so you can customize your ambiance. Some models come with LED lighting effects that enhance the ember bed and the fire. Other models include an upper grille grate that hides manual controls but easily opens to reveal pushbuttons to select the setting you prefer.
Plug-in electric fireplaces can be mounted directly on walls or recessed into the wall for an aesthetically pleasing look. These fireplaces are usually more straightforward to set up than mantel fireplaces. Some models include a pedestal to allow you to put the fireplace on flat surfaces, such as a dresser or buffet. Included is an remote control, mounting hardware, and the log set. Based on the model, these electric fireplaces can include heating and flame options that can be turned off for all-year-round comfort.
Some models have adjustable privacy glass that can instantly change from completely see-through to partially transparent. This feature makes these models popular for walls that separate common areas of entertainment like living and dining spaces. These models can be used in bedrooms, where adding fireplaces is a cost-effective option to warm up a room and keep it private.
While plug-in electric fireplaces don't need to be hardwired like traditional ethanol fireplaces, they must be mounted within a wall that is at a minimum free of studs and able to support the weight of the fireplace. Some models come with a kit to make this process simpler by providing a pre-wired power cord as well as an specialized mounting bracket. This kit is available for either drywall or concrete installation.
When deciding where to put your wall mount electric fireplace, ensure that it's close to 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 best to choose a separate circuit to ensure that nothing else in the home will run at the same voltage, and potentially trip your breaker.
