Closing the chimney behind an insert

With an electric insert doing the heating, the chimney above it no longer has a job. Left open, it lets conditioned air escape and lets moisture and drafts in around the insert. Closing the flue also keeps insects and debris from falling into the firebox around the insert.

So the flue is closed. Either the damper is sealed shut or a sealing damper goes on the top tile, and the cap stays in place against rain. The method is written on the estimate so it can be reversed later. Converting a fireplace in Keystone Heights and wondering about the chimney? Call (904) 920-5495 for a free look.

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.

Routing the cord the manual allows

Manuals set rules for power cords: no running under rugs or carpets, no pinching behind heavy objects and no routes that leave the cord where it could be damaged. For inserts, the manual may show a path through the side of the firebox opening.

We follow those rules and aim for a cord that cannot be seen. Any gap the cord crosses gets protection, and an outlet sitting where the cord cannot reach is moved by an electrician. The route we use is shown to you at handover, so you know where the cord is if the unit ever needs to come out. Cords are never pulled tight around corners or pinned under the unit's feet.

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.

Before the unit goes in

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.

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.
