A bare wall waiting for a fireplace
A wall-mounted or recessed electric fireplace gives a room a fireplace without a chimney, a vent or a gas line. The unit needs a sound wall, the circuit its label calls for and the clearances its manual sets, and that is the whole list. If the wall is an exterior one, we check how it is built before choosing a recessed or wall-mounted unit.
We look at the wall, find the studs, check what shares the nearest circuit and measure for the model you have in mind. Then the install is priced in writing, with any electrician work set apart.

Oceanway is part of Duval County. Oceanway is an inland community.

Bedrooms and dens in Oceanway
Small wall-mounted units suit rooms where no other fireplace could go, provided the circuit can carry the heater.
We check that circuit in Oceanway before the bracket goes on the wall.

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.
Fitting an insert to an old firebox
Electric inserts are made for a range of firebox sizes, and the manual gives the minimum and maximum opening they fit, along with the depth needed behind. A trim kit from the same maker hides whatever gap remains between insert and opening.
We measure the firebox opening at the front and the back, since many fireboxes taper, and check the depth. If the opening falls outside the insert's range, you hear that before anything is bought or installed. The trim is chosen to cover the gap neatly without blocking the insert's air paths. A firebox that is slightly too large can often be managed with a wider trim kit from the same maker.
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.

No. It burns nothing, so it needs no chimney, vent or gas line. It does need the clearances, mounting and power supply its manual sets.
