An old gas line in the firebox
Fireplaces that once had gas often still have a gas pipe or valve key in the firebox wall. Before an electric insert goes in, that line has to be capped properly, and that is a job for a gas contractor. The firebox is cleaned only after the line is capped, never before.
We name that step on the estimate, with who does it, and schedule the insert after it is done. The cord route is then planned so it stays clear of the capped fitting. Old gas line in a fireplace you want to convert in Hilliard? Call (904) 920-5495, and our installers will look at it for free.

Televisions and fireplaces in Hilliard
Putting a screen near an electric fireplace is about the heater outlet's clearance, not the town.
We lay out the wall in Hilliard so both sit within the manual's limits.

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.
Placing a fireplace near a television
Many rooms put the fireplace and the television on the same wall. Electric units make that simpler because there is no flue or combustion heat, but the heater outlet still pushes out warm air, and the manual lists clearances for objects above or below it.
We check which way your model's heater blows and how far any screen must sit from it, then lay out the wall with both in mind. Cords for both are planned together so neither shows. Where a model directs heat upward, the layout usually puts the screen at a height the manual allows. Screens are sensitive to heat, so we take the manual's clearance as a minimum rather than a target.
Rooms where an electric heater should not go
Each unit includes a room heater, and many manuals carry warnings common to heaters: not in bathrooms, laundry rooms or similar damp places, and not where the unit could fall into or be splashed by water.
We read the warnings for your model before a location is agreed. If the room you have in mind is ruled out, we tell you at the first visit and suggest places in the house that are allowed. It is easier to choose the right wall on paper than to move a unit after it is framed in. The same warnings usually cover placement near sinks and wet bars.
