The first step in installing an electric fireplace is to decide the location you'd like it to go. Before you begin any work, mark the desired location of your electric fireplace using the help of a cardboard cutout. You'll need to decide if you want to install the fireplace in a partially or fully recessed manner.
The majority of electric fires can be mounted into a wall opening as a built in or built-in electric insert. This type of installation will require a hole to be cut in the wall to accommodate the size and shape fireplace. If you're going to be installing a built-in, we suggest hiring an electrician to connect the fireplace into the electrical network of your home.
Installing your electric fireplace is a breeze once you have decided the place it will be placed. Many models will include a template which you can use to indicate the exact location where the brackets for mounting will need to be positioned on the wall. If your fireplace does not have templates you can use a spirit level and pencil to mark a straight line on the wall where the brackets will be.
After marking the location, measure and cut pieces of drywall to fit the opening. If you are converting an old fireplace, you'll have to patch the walls prior to install the drywall. You may also opt to build a custom mantel and hearth instead of an existing wooden frame.
If you're using a built in electric fireplace It will have hooks or slots on the back of the unit which will connect to the hooks or slots on your brackets for mounting. Some units will also have an electrical cord that you'll have to pull through the wall and connect to an outlet. If you don't wish to move the plug socket, think about tackable or paintable power cord covers to give a clean finish.
