A unit for a bedroom or den
Smaller wall-mounted electric fireplaces suit bedrooms, dens and offices, where a full fireplace would never fit. They hang on a bracket like a large picture and plug into a nearby outlet, as long as the circuit can carry the heater. Bedrooms often share one circuit across several outlets, so the load check matters there.
The bracket goes into framing or into anchors the manual allows, and the unit is hung level at the height you want, within its clearances. Cord routing is planned so nothing dangles.

Choosing the wall in a coastal home
Manuals keep electric fireplaces out of damp locations. In a house on the coast, a wall beside a door that lets in wind-driven rain is a poor choice for a unit.
We look at the room in Fernandina Beach with that in mind and suggest a dry, interior wall where there is one.

Hardwired units and the junction box
Hardwired electric fireplaces have no plug. They connect to the house wiring at a junction box, following the wiring diagram in the manual. Some larger models run on 240 volts, as their rating label shows.
That connection is electrician work under NFPA 70. We coordinate the sequence: the electrician runs the supply to the right spot, we frame and set the unit, and the electrician makes the final connection. The estimate lists each part and who does it, so the day runs in order and nothing waits on a missing step. A disconnect or breaker that can switch the unit off for service is part of the electrician's side of the plan.
An old gas line capped first
Some fireplaces being converted to electric once had gas, and a pipe or valve key may still be in the firebox or the wall beside it. That line is capped by a gas contractor before any electric insert goes in.
We do not touch the gas line. The estimate names the capping as a separate step, with who does it, and the insert is scheduled after it. The cord route is then planned so it stays clear of the capped fitting, and the capped line is noted on the paperwork for anyone who works on the fireplace later. Where there is doubt about whether a line is live, the gas contractor confirms it before we start.
Wall finishes around a recessed unit
Set inside a finished wall, a recessed unit has a manual that often limits which finish materials may be used around it and how close they may come. Some units allow drywall right up to the trim. Others ask for space around certain parts.
We check the manual for your model and finish the opening accordingly, fitting the trim supplied with the unit. Where you plan tile or stone around the fireplace, we note the manual's limits so whoever does that work has them in writing. Our scope covers the opening and the trim, not the wider wall finish. If the wall is to be painted after the install, we leave the trim masked and ready.
