Installation

Installing a wall mounted fireplace requires you to conduct a survey of the wall on which you intend to install your electric fireplace. You'll need to make sure the wall is able to bear loads and can be drilled into (if it is required). A lot of electric fires come with an outline of where to drill holes. It is also recommended to make use of a spirit level as well as cable finder and pipe to ensure that the wall is straight before you start drilling.
After you've completed your pre-installation survey, it's time to pick up your tools and begin preparing for installation. The instructions for your electric fire will specify whether it requires the use of a wall bracket or hanging screws. If you're using a wall bracket, you need to drill holes in the wall and then fit them with rawl plugs. Alternatively, ultra slim wall mounted electric fires can hang screws that are typically fitted into slots on the back of the fireplace.
Install the finishing touches after you have attached the electric fireplace to its mounting brackets or hanging screws. Check that the heater is an appropriate distance of 400mm from combustibles and that the flames aren't blocked by anything. You should also take this opportunity to make sure that your electric fire is positioned at the right height on the wall.
After you're done, you can plug in your electric fire into a standard power outlet and enjoy the warm ambience of your new fireplace. Depending on the type of fireplace you choose, you may have several options for personalizing such as choosing from a variety of surrounds and flame color settings. If you're interested in a custom-built look, you can also hire a contractor to create the frame on your wall and drywall it for you.
