How to Install an Electric Fireplace Insert
If you're looking for a way to convert an existing fireplace or add one to a room, an electric fireplace insert is the ideal choice. In contrast to wood-burning or gas-burning fireplaces, electric fireplaces do not need to be vented.
There are three types of electric fireplaces including plug-ins, log sets, and built-in inserts. We'll examine each of these and how they work in this article.
Built-In
A fireplace with a built-in electric feature is a great option for homeowners who wish to sit back and relax by a fire without the hassle of buying and installing a traditional wood-burning fireplace. Installing a fireplace into the majority of homes will allow you to transform your living space into a comfortable retreat. It's also a great option for those who have a little space in their homes, since it takes up less floor space than other options. Based on your personal preferences, you can pick an integrated model or a freestanding one.
Electric fireplaces can be set up in various ways however, the most common method is to put them into an existing fireplace. They are usually constructed by a professional, and could be expensive to repair or replace if the fireplace insert is damaged. However, the installation process is not as complicated as it may seem, especially if you use an already-built masonry fireplace.
Installing an electric fireplace could be completed by framing a space in your wall, and then building a fireplace directly into the structure. The benefit of this type of installation is that it will not take up any area on the floor and is easy to integrate into any style. It will also provide you with greater levels of control over the heating power and appearance of your fireplace.
Electric fireplaces don't require venting. It is a better option for those with pets or young children living in the home since it doesn't produce harmful gases that could be breathed in. It is also easier to maintain as when compared to other models, because it doesn't require a gas line or chimney.
Installing an electric fireplace into an existing fireplace is as easy as slipping the unit into its opening. It is a simple and affordable way to convert an existing wood-burning fireplace to electric. However, it is important to determine the size of your fireplace before you buy an electric insert.
Plug-In
A plug-in electric fireplace is placed inside a wall similar to an ordinary wall outlet. This is a less expensive option than a fireplace that is built-in however, it still looks stunning and can be used to create a focal point in any room.
If you prefer an elegant appearance frame the fireplace's opening and include trim to conceal the electrical connections. This option can be done by yourself or have an expert local contractor complete it for you.
The owner's manual contains information on framing and wiring. Also, it's an excellent idea to test the fireplace prior beginning the installation process connect it to the electrical outlet and play around with the flames and heat. If everything is working, then you're ready to move on to the next step.
It is important to inform your electrician that your new electric fireplace requires a dedicated circuit. This means it will have its own receptacle installed on the wall (which will be a special GFI outlet that will be designed to monitor electricity flow) and that when you turn the breakers "off" on the electrical panel in your home only one line will be turned off. This prevents multiple outlets and appliances from sharing a circuit and tripping a breaker.
You'll also need to decide if you would like your fireplace to plug into a 120-volt outlet or 240-volt outlet. You'll then need to hire an electrician to install the necessary wiring.
If you decide to do this yourself, you'll need to have a power saw and understand how to use it. You will also need a tape measure and pencil to mark the position of the fireplace within the wall. Once you've marked the location and you're ready to begin removing the old wall covering and installing the new frame for your fireplace. Install the new drywall as closely as you can to the fireplace edge to give it a professional appearance. Be sure to leave space for the fireplace outlet head.
Corner
You can install an electric fireplace in a corner to make your room more inviting and cozy. These fireplaces do not have a chimney which makes them more convenient to install. They can be used as a standalone piece or in conjunction to mantels. wall hanging electric fires are available in a variety of sizes and provide heating for rooms as large as 1,000 square feet. Some models can be hardwired to 240 volts, allowing them to provide even more warmth.
It's important that you choose an insert that's appropriate to the dimensions of the existing opening. A fireplace insert that doesn't fit correctly can be a nuisance, based on the style and size of the room. A professional consultation or the use of visualization tools can help.
One way to ensure that you select a suitable model is to frame and build the fireplace into your wall, or to 'build-in' it into an existing chimney. While this takes more time and might require some expertise in building but it will provide you with a customized fit and seamless appearance. If you're considering doing this, make sure you adhere to the installation guidelines carefully and seek assistance if needed.
Another option is installing a recessed fireplace that fits into an existing fireplace opening and usually sits flush against the wall. These models are available in different styles and finishes, so you can easily match them to your existing fireplace and décor. These models come with everything you need to put them in place. This includes an inbuilt heater that can provide additional heating for rooms up 1,000 square feet, as well as an imitation fire effect.
Installing electric fireplaces that plug in is simple. Simply insert them into the existing fireplace and plug them in. They usually provide 5,000 BTUs that is enough to warm the majority of rooms. Some models can be used without heating to provide an ambiance-only experience.
Multi-Sided
A multi-sided electric fire is a great way to divide up a room without blocking out the view or requiring venting. It can be wall mounted, and comes with a glass panel on each side of the fireplace, giving it an expansive effect. Multi-sided models can be operated with or without heating and include logs, ember bed and LED lighting options to customize.
These models are great to separate master bedrooms from ensuite bathrooms or to divide the living and dining areas. They are available in traditional and linear designs. There are a variety of installation options that include the possibility of a recessed 2x4 mounting or a flush with a clean face mounted on a 12" wall. The media kits and flame colors are available to give you a custom look.
Multi-sided electric fireplaces are a great option for those looking to make a statement in their commercial or home space. They are powered by the revolutionary HELIOVISION virtual flame technology The electric fireplaces are designed to produce one of the most realistic fire-like looks you can get from an electrical fireplace. The Landscape Pro Multi provides a variety of options for installation to give homeowners and interior designers total freedom. The model can be installed in a single-side view left- and front-side views, or three-sided bay (bay windows) with removable metal panels. All options can be operated without or with the heater for year round use. A hand-held remote is available with several options for operation, including power as well as heat and fade settings, sync, down-lighting and the ember bed.
