Also, think about the space you have available for the surround and if you want a fireplace mantle.

Many of the newer electric fireplaces have an interior depth that is almost concealed, giving them an almost "built-in" appearance. This kind of wall fireplace made from electric is best illustrated by the Panorama BI Deep series. This model has a 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, 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 determining the depth of your fireplace, it is crucial to keep in mind that these units are supplemental heat sources and should be properly vented by an experienced professional. The length of the vent pipe, the dimensions of the flue, and the distance between the stove and the vent are all aspects that should be considered when determining the depth of a gas fireplace.

To begin the installation process, determine where you want your fireplace to be located and make a mark with a pencil on the wall where the bracket will be installed. Use a stud-finder to locate the studs and then place the brackets in front of at least one stud for stability. If a stud isn't within reach or won't work for your fireplace, make use of drywall anchors to support the mounting bracket.

Once you've determined the location of the mounting brackets and drilled them, screw them into the wall making sure they're aligned with the studs. You can use studs or plastic anchors to attach each bracket. Once the mounting brackets are installed then lift the fireplace up and hang it from the bracket. After it's secured, you can check the position of your fireplace to ensure that it is level and not crooked in the opening.

Depending on the model of your fireplace, you will either need to connect the wire connection to the appliance connector located at the mantel's bottom, or if it has slots or hooks, fire connect them to slots on the mounting brackets. Once you've done that then, refer to the owner's manual to find specific instructions on removing the front glass panel and inserting it inside the opening.

Some models come with a pedestal to allow you to put the fireplace on flat surfaces such as a dresser or buffet. A remote control as well as mounting hardware and a log set are all included. Electric fireplaces can have flame and heat options that can be removed to create a year-round ambience.

This option makes these models popular for walls that separate common areas of entertainment like dining and living areas. These models are ideal in bedrooms, where adding an fireplace is a cost-effective option to warm up a room and keep it private.

Plug-in electric fire places don't require a hardwire however they must be plugged into an area that is able to support their weight. Some models come with an accessory kit to make this process more simple, including an electrical power cord that is pre-wired and a bracket for mounting. This kit can be used for either construction of drywall or concrete.

If you opt to install your wall-mounted electric fireplace, be sure that it is located near an outlet. Depending on the model that you choose, plug-in electric fireplaces may be plugged into outlets that are connected to the same circuit, or a dedicated one for your electric fireplace.
