It is one of the easiest electric fireplaces to set up. + +There are a few things to consider before buying an in-wall fireplace. To make the most of your investment, consider these helpful tips:. + +Height + +While it may seem like an easy task to answer, determining the height of your fireplace is one of the most important decisions to make. This is because the height of your fireplace will impact everything from how it fits in a room to how easily it can be seen. Your fireplace could look strange when it is too high. It could also take away from its aesthetics. On the other side, having your fireplace too low will make it appear unattractive in the wall space. + +Luckily electric fireplaces are adaptable enough to be installed at a variety of heights. For instance, the majority of people choose to mount their fireplaces at eye level from a seated position. This requires a height of 40-42 inches. Some people mount their fireplaces underneath their TVs. This can be an attractive option. + +However, the size of your fireplace will be determined by certain factors, such as the size of the room and the length of the wall on which you'd like to place it.

Also consider the space you will have for the surround, and whether or not you'd like a mantle. + +Many of the latest electric fireplaces come with a depth that is nearly concealed, giving them an almost "built-in" look. The Panorama Bi-Deep series is a fantastic example of this type of electric fireplace that is wall-mounted. This model features an 5.8-inch depth that lets the user see the flames and ember bed instead of the frame of the fireplace. It is also equipped with a range of media options, including natural-looking driftwood logs that look like driftwood white pebbles, clear glass crystals that reflect the flames and enhance the ember bed. + +Wall-mounted gas fireplaces are also available in deep and shallow versions. However, when deciding on the depth of your fireplace, it is essential to keep in mind that these fireplaces function as a source of heat that is supplementary and should be properly vented by an experienced professional.

Some models, such as the Allusion line of electric fireplaces, can be installed partially recessed into walls without compromising the output of heat. + +To begin the installation start by marking the wall using a pencil where the bracket will be mounted. Utilize a stud locater to locate the studs within the area. Make sure every mounting bracket is placed in front of one or more studs for stability. If a stud cannot be reached or is not suitable for your fireplace, use drywall anchors as a support. + +Once you've marked the location of the brackets to be mounted, use a drill to screw them into the wall making sure they're aligned with the studs. If possible, connect each bracket to a stud to ensure strength and stability, however you could also use plastic anchors when needed. After the mounting brackets are installed move the fireplace and hang it from the bracket. After it's secured, you can check the position of your fireplace to ensure that it is level and not crooked in the opening. + +Before proceeding with the installation, connect your fireplace and check whether all features are operating correctly - turn on the fire, and then start the flames. play around with heat, ember bed lights and more.

If your fireplace has ember bed media, spread it across the top of the grate for a more natural appearance and then secure it in place using the screws included. + +Plug-In + +Unlike traditional wood-burning fireplaces, these electric versions don't need chimneys or vents. They plug into standard outlets they provide supplemental heat to rooms up 400 square feet. You can also adjust the atmosphere with different flame and heat settings. Some models have LED lighting effects that highlight the embers and fire. Some models have an upper 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 mounted directly on the wall or recessed to give the appearance of a built-in. They are generally easier to set up than mantel fireplaces. Some come with pedestal bases to permit you to put the fireplace on a flat surface, such as a dresser or buffet. Included are a remote control, mounting hardware and log set. Electric fireplaces are able to include flame and heat options that can be turned off to create a year-round ambience. + +Some models have privacy glass that can be easily adjusted from fully transparent to partially transparent.
