Flames all year, heat when wanted

Flames without heat is a setting on plenty of electric units. For a lot of owners, that is the point: the look of a fire on any evening, with heat only on the cooler nights. A flame-only evening costs little to run, since the light source draws a small fraction of the heater's power.

The controls for that sit in the unit and its remote, and we set them up with you at handover so you know how to run flame only, heat only or both. Want a fireplace you can enjoy in every season at your Brentwood home? Phone (904) 920-5495 and book a free install visit.

Framing a recess to the rough opening

Recessed units need an opening framed to the rough size in their manual: width, height and depth, measured to the framing, not to the finished wall. Too small and the unit will not slide in. Too large and the trim will not cover the gap.

We frame the opening with studs and headers sized for the wall, add blocking where the unit's brackets or trim fasten, and check the depth behind for wiring, pipes and ducts. The manual also says which framing and finish materials are allowed around the unit, and we follow it. Once the unit is set, its brackets are fastened to the blocking so it cannot shift when the trim goes on.

Closing the flue above an insert

With an electric insert in place, the chimney above has no job, and an open flue lets room air out and outside air, moisture and drafts in around the insert. So the flue is closed.

The method depends on the fireplace. The existing damper can be sealed shut, or a sealing damper can be fitted at the top of the chimney. Either way the chimney keeps its cap, so rain stays out. The method is written on the estimate, because it has to be reversed if the fireplace ever burns wood again. A closed flue also keeps rain that gets past the cap from reaching the insert.

Remotes, thermostats and receivers

Controls range from a simple switch to a remote with a thermostat and timer. Some pair with a receiver inside the unit, and some offer an app.

We set the controls up at handover: batteries in, remote paired, thermostat set to a sensible starting point and the timer explained. If the model has a receiver switch, we show you where it is and how to reset the pairing if it is ever lost. The manual stays with you, with the relevant pages marked. If a wall switch controls the outlet, we label it so nobody turns the unit off by accident.

Electric fireplace questions from Brentwood

Does an electric fireplace need a chimney or vent?

No. It burns nothing, so it needs no chimney, vent or gas line. It does need the clearances, mounting and power supply its manual sets.

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.
