It's important to check reviews before buying an item.

Installation

Like the name suggests the wall mount electric fireplaces are designed to be fixed on the wall, typically using a mounting bracket. These are generally fairly easy to install, but the procedure for installation will differ between models. Some are connected to the wall and screwed in and others will require you to construct an enclosure around them prior to placing them on the wall. In any case, you must be sure to follow the guidelines provided with the fire. Make sure the opening size of the frame is correct and you place the unit in accordance with any safety guidelines.

The first thing to do is to find a place that is suitable for your fireplace. Take into consideration the design of the room, as well as any existing furniture. It's also worth checking if the area is close to a power socket, or that you're willing to have an electrician move the plug socket for you (if there's one already).

Once you've found the perfect spot to put the fireplace, prepare the space by clearing it and removing any furniture and then preparing the wall. This could involve removal of any decorations or wallpaper and locating any studs and marking them with an Stud finder (you'll often be required to have two people hold the fireplace in place to ensure it's positioned correctly).

The majority of wall-mounted electric fireplaces come with an outline for drilling holes. This template should use to mark the locations on the walls where the brackets are to be positioned. After marking the positions, drill the holes and install the rawl plugs. As a rule, you'll need to ensure the heater - which is in front of the fireplace and generates heat - is located at least 400mm away from any combustible materials, such as fabrics.

After the holes have been made, you'll need to install the mounting bracket. Some models require that you place the firebox on the bracket, while others ask you to put the fireplace on the bracket prior to attaching the screen. It is important to follow the directions for installation exactly in order to ensure that your new appliance is not damaged. Once the fireplace is installed connect it to the electrical outlet and test it to ensure it's working properly.
