Height

It may seem like an easy question but determining the size of your fireplace is among the most important decisions you'll make. This is because the height of your fireplace can affect everything from how it fits into a space to how easily it can be seen. The fireplace might appear strange when it is too high. It can also diminish its aesthetics. A tabletop fireplace that is too low can be lost within the wall space.

Luckily electric Fireplaces wooden are able enough to be installed at a variety of heights. Most people mount their fireplaces in a seated position at eye level. This typically requires a height of 40-42 inches from the floor to the bottom of the fireplace. Others mount their fireplaces underneath their TVs, which is an attractive option.

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 where you'd like to place it. The bigger the room, the larger it can be. This could mean you are capable of fitting a larger fireplace in it. The length of a wall is also important because a wall that is longer can support a fireplace that is larger.

The way you intend to make use of your fireplace is an important factor. If you are planning to use it for decoration, then it is recommended to choose a lower height. If you intend to heat your home with it, you'll have to ensure that the fireplace is tall enough to meet the safety and codes of your area.

Having the proper height for your fireplace will help to ensure that it is in line with the rest of your decor and is easy to work on when cleaning or filling it. If you're not sure what height to go with it is always a good idea to contact an experienced fireplace installer for assistance. They can advise on the best height for your fireplace, based on their knowledge and your home.

Depth

It is essential to know the depth of a fireplace if you are planning to place it in an recessed position. If you are going to cut into your wall, ensure that you have enough depth to accommodate the interior design of your fireplace (the smoke shelf above the firebox, the flue that rises through the roof, and the fireplace itself). Also consider the space you will have for the surround, and whether or not you'd like a mantle.

A lot of the most recent electric fireplaces have an incredibly deep depth that is hidden, giving them an "integrated" look. The Panorama BI-Deep series is an excellent example of this kind of electric fireplace that is wall-mounted. The model has an 5.8-inch depth that lets the viewer see the flames and the ember bed instead of the frame of the fireplace. It also comes with a variety of media packages including natural-looking driftwood logs that look like driftwood, white pebbles, or crystals of clear glass that reflect the flames and add luster to the ember bed.

Wall-mounted gas fireplaces are also available in shallow and deep versions. However, when deciding on the depth of your fireplace it is essential to remember that these units operate as a supplemental heat source and must be properly vented by a skilled professional. The length of the vent pipe, the size of the flue and the distance between the stove and the vent are all factors that need to be taken into consideration when determining the depth of a fireplace made of gas.

If you decide to go with a surface mount or one-piece installation, it's important to read and follow all of the manufacturer's instructions carefully when mounting your fireplace. A professional installer is recommended in the majority of instances. Also, it is always good to have an extra person on hand when installing a gas fireplace.

Installing a fireplace in the wall of your home could be an ideal way to increase its value and add some ambiance to your living spaces. It also can help reduce the cost of heating. Moreover, it is an excellent option if you cannot install traditional fireplaces in your home because of the space restrictions or the location of your existing chimney.

Surface Mount

Surface mounts are an excellent option 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 look. Some models, such as the Allusion line of electric fireplaces, can be installed partially recessed into walls without compromising the heat output.

To begin the installation start by marking the wall using a pencil where the bracket is to be installed. Use a stud-finder to locate the studs and then place each bracket in front of at least one stud for stability. If a stud is not accessible or isn't suitable for your fireplace, use drywall anchors to support the mounting bracket.

Once you've determined the location of the brackets to be mounted then use a drill to screw them into the wall making sure they're aligned with the studs. You can use studs or anchors made of plastic to connect each bracket. Once the mounting brackets are in place, lift your fireplace, then hang it on the wall bracket. When the freestanding fireplace is installed, make sure it is level.

Before you begin the installation, plug your fireplace in and ensure that all features work correctly. Start the fire, play around with the heating, the ember bed lights and the list goes on. Once you are happy with the results it is time to put in the floating mantel.

Depending on the model of your fireplace, you'll either require a wire connection to the appliance wire connector at the lower part of the mantel. Or if the fireplace has hooks or slots on the back, connect them to the slots on the wall mounting brackets. After you've completed this process, consult your fireplace's user manual for directions on how to remove the front glass panel from the opening and replace it.

After you've removed the front panel of your fireplace and inserted it into its opening, follow the guideline to complete the install by replacing the glass front and adjusting the height if needed. If your fireplace is equipped with ember bed media, spread it over the top grate to give it a more natural appearance. Secure it using the included screws.

Plug-In

Electric fireplaces don't require chimneys or vents as do traditional wood fireplaces-burning fireplaces. They're plugged into a standard outlet and provide additional heating for rooms that can be that are up to 400 square feet. They also offer multiple temperature and flame settings so you can customize the ambience. Certain models come with LED lighting effects that emphasize the fire and embers. Others include a top grille grate that conceals manual controls, but easily opens to reveal pushbuttons to select the setting you prefer.

Electric fire places that plug in can be installed directly on the wall or recessed for an appearance of a built-in. These units are usually easier to install than mantel fireplaces. Some models come with a pedestal to 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, electric fireplaces may include both flame and heat 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. These models are popular for walls that divide zones of entertainment such as dining and living rooms. These models are ideal in bedrooms, where fireplaces is a cost-effective option to warm up a room and keep it private.

Plug-in electric fireplaces do not require hardwiring like built-in versions they must be mounted within the wall that is at a minimum not stud-free and is able to support the weight of the fireplace. Certain models come with an accessory kit to make this process more simple with a pre-wired power cord and a special mounting bracket. This kit can be used for construction of drywall or concrete.

When deciding on a place for your wall-mounted electric fireplace, ensure that it is near an electrical outlet. Plug-in electric fire places can be plugged in to outlets on the same circuit as the electric fireplace, or into a designated outlet. It's best to use a separate circuit to ensure that nothing else in your home will be operating at the same voltage and could cause a trip to your breakers.
