An install priced line by line

Our installation estimate lists every part of the job: the mounting method, any framing or blocking, the flue closure for inserts, cord routing, trim and cleanup. Electrician work is listed separately with who performs it. You also see which parts of the job we do and which an electrician does.

The unit itself is yours or bought through your choice of supplier, so our price covers the work around it. Nothing is added later without your agreement. Want a line-by-line price for an electric fireplace in San Jose? The visit behind that list is free; phone (904) 920-5495.

Old fireplaces converted in San Jose

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

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

Wall-mounted, recessed or insert

Electric fireplaces go in one of three ways. A wall-mounted unit hangs on a bracket on the finished wall. Recessed models slide into a framed hole in the wall, finishing flush or nearly so. An insert slides into an existing firebox that will no longer burn wood.

Each has its own manual, and the manual decides the details: the bracket and fasteners for a wall mount, the rough opening for a recess, the size range for an insert. We match the method to the room and the unit. The estimate names which one you are getting and what it involves, so there is no surprise on the day. Some rooms suit more than one method, and then the choice comes down to the look you want and the work you accept.

Running the flame without the heat

Many electric fireplaces let you run the flame effect with the heater off. The flame is made by lights shining through a moving rod or a programmed pattern, and it uses far less power than the heater.

That makes the fireplace useful on evenings when heat is not wanted. At handover we show you the settings on your unit and remote: flame only, heat only and both together, plus any brightness and speed controls. Knowing them from the start saves a call later. Some units also have separate ember-bed lighting and color settings, which we run through with you.

Why we read the manual before we arrive

Models differ more than they look. Two units of the same width can need different rough openings, brackets, clearances and circuits. The manual for your model is the rulebook for its installation.

So we ask for the model number before the visit and read the installation section in advance. That lets us arrive with the right fasteners, framing plan and questions about the circuit. It also means any problem with the chosen location comes up before the wall is opened, when it is easy to change course. If the manual cannot be found online, we ask you to keep the paper copy from the box for the visit.

Electric fireplace questions from San Jose

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.

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.
