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 Mandarin and wondering about the chimney? Call (904) 920-5495 for a free look.

Mandarin sits in Duval County. Mandarin does not reach the coast.

Old fireplaces converted in Mandarin

Retired wood fireplaces make good hosts for electric inserts wherever the house is, as long as the opening fits the insert's range.

In Mandarin we measure the firebox front and back before any insert is chosen.

Clearance around the heater outlet

The heater outlet on an electric fireplace pushes out warm air, from the top, the bottom or the front depending on the model. The manual sets the minimum distances from that outlet to shelves, mantels, televisions and other objects.

We find the outlet on your model and mark those distances on the wall before mounting or framing. Nothing we install goes inside them, and we show you where the limits are so later additions stay clear. Those few inches decide whether the unit runs the way its maker intended. On models that blow downward, the floor area and any rug in front need the same attention.

Airflow and the thermal cutoff

Inside the heater, a thermal cutoff cuts the heat when the inside of the unit gets too hot. Dimplex notes it trips when the ventilation is covered or blocked. A unit framed too tight or boxed in by trim can trip it again and again.

So we keep the intake and outlet clear as the manual shows, and we avoid finish details that crowd them. At handover, the heater runs long enough to confirm it cycles normally without cutting out. If it trips during that test, we find out why before we leave. Dust and pet hair drawn into the intake over time can trip it too, which is worth knowing for later cleaning.

Shelves and mantels over the heater

A shelf or mantel above an electric fireplace is a common wish, and the manual sets how far above the heater outlet it must sit and how far it may project. Warm air rising from the outlet is the reason.

We mark the minimum height on the wall during the install, so anyone adding a shelf later knows where it may go. Building mantels is not part of our installation work. What we make sure of is that the fireplace is placed so a shelf can be added within the manual's limits if you want one. The height is marked lightly so it can be painted over once you have made your plans.

Electric fireplace questions from Mandarin

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.

Do you charge for the first visit in Mandarin?

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.
