Larger built-ins that are hardwired

Some larger built-in electric fireplaces have no plug at all. They connect directly to the house wiring at a junction box, and some run on 240 volts, as the rating label shows. Built-ins like these are usually framed in first and connected once the opening is ready.

A hardwired connection is electrician work. We frame the opening, set and secure the unit and fit the trim, and the electrician makes the connection to the manual's diagram. The estimate lists both parts and the order they happen in. Hardwired electric fireplace planned for your home in Garden City? Phone (904) 920-5495 for a free look at the wall.

Circuits in older Garden City houses

Whatever a house's age, what matters is what already shares the circuit where the fireplace will plug in.

We check the load on that circuit in Garden City homes before the unit goes up.

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.

Who does which part of the job

Two trades often share an electric fireplace install. We do the mounting, framing, flue closure, cord routing and trim. An electrician does new circuits, new outlets and hardwired connections under NFPA 70.

The estimate lists both parts and the order they happen in, so nobody waits on anyone else. We share the unit's manual and the planned position with the electrician, and we coordinate the dates. You deal with us for the whole job, with the electrician's work clearly named. If a permit or inspection applies to the electrical work, that sits with the electrician's part of the job.

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.

What we check on the wall in Garden City

Inside of the wall checked before a recess is cut
Heater outlet clearances marked for shelves and screens
Old gas line capped by a gas contractor, named in writing
Controls set up and every function tested at handover

Before the unit goes in

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.

How long does an installation take?

A wall mount can take a few hours. A framed recess or an insert with flue work takes longer, and any electrician work sets the pace. The estimate gives the expected time.
