A flush, built-in look
Set into the wall with its face flush or nearly so, a recessed electric fireplace, which reads like a built-in rather than an appliance hung on the surface. It needs a framed opening cut to the rough size in the manual, with blocking where the unit fastens. The trim that comes with the unit then covers the edge of the cut so the finish looks deliberate.
We check what is inside the wall first: studs, wiring, plumbing and ducts. Where the opening can go, we frame it, set the unit and fit its trim. Want a recessed electric fireplace in a wall at your house in Fruit Cove? Phone (904) 920-5495; the planning visit is free.

When a dedicated circuit makes sense
Some manuals call for a dedicated circuit, and others suggest one when a shared circuit keeps tripping. The National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, also limits how much of a branch circuit's rating one plug-in appliance may use.
A heater that draws a heavy, steady load on a circuit already feeding other things can trip the breaker or run the wiring warm. So when the load or the manual points to a dedicated circuit, it goes on the estimate as electrician work. We plan the outlet's position with the electrician so it lands where the unit's cord can reach it out of sight. A dedicated circuit also means the fireplace never competes with a vacuum or a hair dryer on the same breaker.
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.
Factory-built fireboxes as a host
Metal wood-burning fireplaces from a factory are listed units, each with its own panels, damper and chimney pipe. An electric insert can often sit in its opening, as long as the insert's manual allows the size and the factory-built unit is left intact.
We do not cut, drill or remove parts of the listed fireplace to make an insert fit. The flue is closed at the damper or with a top seal, the panels are checked for loose pieces and the insert is set with its trim. If the opening is outside the insert's range, you hear that first. The factory-built unit's rating plate is left visible, since anyone working on it later needs the model.

Electric fireplace questions from Fruit Cove
Do you install electric fireplaces in Fruit Cove?
Yes. We install wall-mounted, recessed and insert electric fireplaces across St. Johns County, Fruit Cove included. Give us the model number on the phone, and the manual gets read ahead of the visit.
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.
