Children and pets near the heater
There is no open flame, but the heater outlet still pushes out warm air and the area around it gets warm. Manuals set clearances for furniture and belongings in front of and around the heater. A unit mounted higher on the wall keeps its outlet out of reach of small hands.
We place the unit with those clearances in mind and show you where the heater outlet is and what must stay clear of it. Where small children play, the height and position of the unit are worth planning. Installing a fireplace in a family room in Sunbeam? Phone (904) 920-5495; the planning visit is free.

Recessed units in Sunbeam walls
A recess needs room inside the wall, and pipes, ducts or cables can be in the way in any house.
We check the wall's contents in Sunbeam before cutting the opening.
10% off any service booked within 72 hours of inspection
A wall-hung unit or an electric insert, either install comes 10% off.
Hardwired units and the junction box
Hardwired electric fireplaces have no plug. They connect to the house wiring at a junction box, following the wiring diagram in the manual. Some larger models run on 240 volts, as their rating label shows.
That connection is electrician work under NFPA 70. We coordinate the sequence: the electrician runs the supply to the right spot, we frame and set the unit, and the electrician makes the final connection. The estimate lists each part and who does it, so the day runs in order and nothing waits on a missing step. A disconnect or breaker that can switch the unit off for service is part of the electrician's side of the plan.
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.
Factory-built fireboxes as a host
Metal wood-burning fireplaces from a factory are listed units, each with its own panels, damper and chimney pipe. An electric insert can often sit in its opening, as long as the insert's manual allows the size and the factory-built unit is left intact.
We do not cut, drill or remove parts of the listed fireplace to make an insert fit. The flue is closed at the damper or with a top seal, the panels are checked for loose pieces and the insert is set with its trim. If the opening is outside the insert's range, you hear that first. The factory-built unit's rating plate is left visible, since anyone working on it later needs the model.

Before the unit goes in
Can you install a unit I already bought?
Yes. Many of our installs are units the owner has chosen. The model number tells us what the manual requires, so share it before the visit.
Does an electric fireplace need a chimney or vent?
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.
