Choosing the size for the wall

Electric fireplaces are sold by width, and the number on the box is not always the size of the hole in the wall. The manual gives the rough opening, the trim dimensions and the clearances, and those decide what fits. Depth matters too, because some walls cannot take a deep recessed body without reframing.

We measure the wall and compare it with the models you are considering, so you choose knowing exactly how the finished unit will sit. If a wall cannot take a certain size, you hear why. Choosing an electric fireplace for a wall in Arlington? Call (904) 920-5495, and our installers will measure it for free.

What the rating label tells the installer

Every electric fireplace carries a rating label, usually on the back or side, giving the model, the serial number, the volts and the watts or amps. When the heat runs, that wattage is the load the circuit must carry.

The arithmetic is simple. A 1,500-watt heater on a 120-volt supply draws 12.5 amps. We read the label, look at what else shares the circuit and compare the total with the circuit's rating. That comparison decides whether an existing outlet will do or whether the manual's advice to use a dedicated circuit applies. A unit on a 240-volt supply draws half the amps for the same wattage, which is one reason larger built-ins use it.

Running the flame without the heat

Many electric fireplaces let you run the flame effect with the heater off. The flame is made by lights shining through a moving rod or a programmed pattern, and it uses far less power than the heater.

That makes the fireplace useful on evenings when heat is not wanted. At handover we show you the settings on your unit and remote: flame only, heat only and both together, plus any brightness and speed controls. Knowing them from the start saves a call later. Some units also have separate ember-bed lighting and color settings, which we run through with you.

Testing everything before we leave

An installation is finished when the unit works as the manual says. We run the flame effect through its settings, run the heater long enough to watch it cycle, test the remote and thermostat and confirm the unit is secure and level.

For inserts, we check that the flue closure holds and the trim sits tight. For recessed units, we check the trim gaps and the airflow paths. You see each test, and any fault is dealt with before we pack up. The manual and any warranty card from the maker stay with you. We also show you how to switch the unit off completely for cleaning or a long absence.

Electric fireplace questions from Arlington

Will I need a new circuit?

It depends on the unit's rating label, its manual and what else is on the circuit. If a dedicated circuit is needed, an electrician adds it, shown as its own item.

Can the fireplace go on the same wall as my television?

Often, within the clearances the manual gives for objects near the heater outlet. We check which way your model blows its heat and lay out the wall so both fit.
