Still under the maker's warranty
A fairly new electric fireplace may still be covered by its maker's warranty, and the terms matter before anyone opens it. Some makers supply parts under warranty, and some want repairs done through their own service arrangements. Keeping the receipt and the model number together makes any claim easier.
We check the warranty terms with you before starting, so a repair does not cost you coverage you already have. Where the maker will supply the part, we fit it.

How electric fireplace repair runs
-
Model number first
Read us the rating label, and parts availability is checked before the visit.
-
Supply, then each part
The outlet and breaker are checked, then heater, fan, flame effect, board and remote are tested in order.
-
Failed part replaced
The maker's part for your serial number is fitted, with any electrician work done separately.
-
Retested with you
Heat, flames, remote and thermostat are run through their settings before we leave.
Remotes that stop working in Mandarin
Weak batteries and lost pairings are the first things to check when a remote stops, wherever the unit is.
We re-pair or replace the remote on Mandarin visits and show you the steps.

Checking the supply before the unit
Every repair visit starts outside the fireplace. We check the outlet for power, the breaker for a trip, the cord for damage and the plug for heat marks. Many units also have a main power switch hidden on the side or behind a panel, and it is easy to switch off by accident.
Only when power is confirmed at the unit do we open it. That order saves money, because a surprising number of dead fireplaces come back to life at the breaker or the hidden switch. If the outlet or wiring is at fault, it goes to an electrician under NFPA 70. A switched outlet controlled by a wall switch catches out more owners than any failed part.
Easing a recessed unit out of the wall
A recessed electric fireplace is fastened into its framed opening, and its trim covers the joint with the wall. The manual describes how the unit is removed, usually by unfastening screws behind the trim and sliding the body forward.
Where the unit is hardwired, the breaker is switched off before any wiring is touched, and the connection is made safe. We support the unit as it comes out so the trim and wall finish are not cracked. After the repair, it goes back, the fixings are tightened and the trim gaps are checked. If the trim was painted in, it is scored carefully so the paint does not tear the wall finish.
Loose connectors inside the unit
Inside an electric fireplace, wiring harnesses connect the board to the heater, fan, motor and lights through plug-in connectors. Heat cycles, vibration from the fan and moving the unit can work a connector loose.
A loose connector can make a part appear dead when it is not. So before replacing any part, we check its connector for a firm fit and signs of heat. Reseating a connector is a quick fix. A connector that shows scorching is replaced along with anything it damaged. Connectors are pushed home until they click and checked with a gentle tug.

Before a part is ordered
Is it worth fixing, or should I buy a new one?
One failed part that is still made is usually worth replacing. If several parts have failed or parts are gone, we compare the repair with a new unit in writing so you can decide.
What if the problem is the outlet?
An outlet or circuit fault is electrician work under NFPA 70, and it is listed separately. We check the unit's cord and plug so the fireplace is ready once the outlet is fixed.
