Hiding the cord

Nothing spoils a new fireplace like a cord hanging down the wall. The fix depends on the unit and the wall: an outlet placed behind the unit, a cord routed inside the recess, or a path the manual allows through a firebox side. The last step is a check that the cord is not pinched once the unit is pushed home.

Manuals set limits on how cords may run, and we follow them, keeping cords out from under rugs and away from pinch points. Where an outlet has to move, an electrician moves it. Want a clean, cord-free look for a fireplace in Lake Shore? Phone (904) 920-5495 and book a free planning visit.

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.

Space in front of the heater

Manuals ask owners to keep furniture, curtains, bedding and similar items a set distance from the front of the heater. The warm air it moves can heat anything that crowds it.

We plan the fireplace's position with the room's furniture in mind, so the sofa or bed does not end up closer than the manual allows. Where a room is tight, a model that directs its heat differently, or a flame-only habit, may suit better, and we say so before you buy. Rugs, cushions and throws count as well, since they tend to creep toward a warm spot.

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.

Before the unit goes in

Can an electric insert go into my old wood fireplace?

Usually, if the opening falls within the insert's size range. We clean the firebox, shut the chimney off above it, set the insert and run the cord tidily.

Do you charge for the first visit in Lake Shore?

No. The first visit to check the wall and circuit is free, and the install is priced line by line. Book it within 72 hours of that visit, and 10% comes off.
