No chimney, no vent

Nothing burns in an electric fireplace, so it needs no chimney, no vent and no outside wall. That makes it possible in rooms where no other kind of fireplace could go, as long as the wall and the circuit are right. That freedom is the main reason people choose electric for rooms without an existing fireplace.

What it still needs is a wall that can carry it, the clearances in its manual and a power supply that matches its rating label. We check those three on a free visit and price the install. Want a fireplace in a room with no chimney in Avondale? Phone (904) 920-5495 and book our installers.

Storm season and power in Avondale

Power cuts during the June to November storm months reach inland homes too, and an electric fireplace needs power to run.

If a storm brings water into the wall near your unit in Avondale, leave it off until an electrician checks the circuit.

Hanging a wall-mounted unit level

A wall-mounted electric fireplace hangs on a bracket supplied with the unit. The manual says how that bracket must be fastened, usually into studs or with anchors it approves, and the unit's weight decides how much holding power is needed.

We find the studs, mark the height you want within the manual's clearances, and fasten the bracket level. The unit is hung, checked for level again and secured as the manual shows. A fireplace that tilts even slightly shows it in the flame effect, so level is checked at more than one point. We also check the wall surface for flatness, since a bowed wall can leave a gap behind one side of the unit.

Preparing the firebox for an insert

A firebox that has burned wood holds soot, ash and loose debris, and a smoke shelf behind the damper that collects more. That material has no place around an electrical appliance.

Before the insert goes in, the firebox is cleaned out, the smoke shelf cleared where it can be reached and loose firebrick or mortar noted. The damper area is prepared for the flue closure. Firebox damage that affects the insert's fit or safety is written up first, since an insert should sit in a sound, clean space. Loose firebrick is not rebuilt for an electric insert, but it is noted so it does not fall behind the unit later.

Why we read the manual before we arrive

Models differ more than they look. Two units of the same width can need different rough openings, brackets, clearances and circuits. The manual for your model is the rulebook for its installation.

So we ask for the model number before the visit and read the installation section in advance. That lets us arrive with the right fasteners, framing plan and questions about the circuit. It also means any problem with the chosen location comes up before the wall is opened, when it is easy to change course. If the manual cannot be found online, we ask you to keep the paper copy from the box for the visit.

Electric fireplace questions from Avondale

Can an electric insert go into my old wood fireplace?

Usually, if the opening falls within the insert's size range. We clean the firebox, shut the chimney off above it, set the insert and run the cord tidily.

Can you install a unit I already bought?

Yes. Many of our installs are units the owner has chosen. The model number tells us what the manual requires, so share it before the visit.
