Installing an electric fireplace, start to finish

Electric fireplaces installed across Whites Landing, starting with a free inspection.

Why the rest of the circuit matters

NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code, limits how much of a branch circuit's rating one cord-and-plug appliance may use when the circuit also serves other outlets. A plug-in fireplace heater is that kind of appliance, so the circuit's other loads belong in the installation plan.

Applying the code is the electrician's job, and we do not guess at it. What we do is identify the circuit the unit will use, list what else is on it as far as you know and flag the question in writing, so the answer is settled before the unit is mounted.

Flame without heat

Some owners want an electric fireplace mostly for the look. On the linear line we reference, the flame effect switches separately from the heater, and a hardware kit can disconnect the heater and its fan permanently. Running the flame alone draws far less power than running the heater.

If you expect to run the flame far more than the heat, tell us during the inspection. We explain the settings your model offers, so you choose a unit and a setup that match how you will actually use it.

Keeping flammable products away

The earlier linear manual we reference says the unit should not be used where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored. A heater element can ignite vapors even though the flame on the screen is only light.

That rules out some workshops, garages and storage rooms. We ask what the room is used for during the inspection and suggest another spot if paint cans or fuel are kept nearby. A garage conversion or a workshop can still work once the flammable products live elsewhere.

Handover and the remote

When the installation is finished, we switch the unit on with you and walk through the flame, heat and brightness controls, the remote and any eco or boost setting your model offers. One maker asks that remote batteries be kept away from children.

You keep the manual, the written record of the work we did and our workmanship warranty information together. If anything about the unit is unclear later, you call the same local team that installed it.
