When shopping for an Electric wall mount fireplace , ensure that you choose models with built-in protection against overheating that will shut down the unit when it gets too hot. Some models have a cool-to-the-touch exterior, which is ideal for families with children.

The amount of heating you need for your home is another factor to consider. Certain electric fireplaces have two levels of heat, whereas others come with up to six levels.

Easy Installation
Electric wall-mounted fireplaces can be installed in a new construction or a renovation. You don't require gas lines or a venting system. They can be hung in your living space without much effort and look beautiful with or without heat. The fan-powered heating systems they use are also very efficient.
First, decide where you would like to put the electric fireplace. Before you begin any work, mark the desired location of your electric fireplace using a cardboard cutout. You'll need to decide if you'd like to put in the fireplace in a partially recessed or fully recessed fashion.
Most electric fireplaces can be put into wall openings as built-in or an electric insert. This kind of installation will require an opening to be cut into the wall to accommodate the size and shape fireplace. If you're planning to install a built-in fireplace, we recommend hiring a professional electrician to wire it into the electric network in your home.
After you've decided on the best place to place your electric fireplace and you've decided on the location, it's time to begin the installation process. Many models come with a template that you can use to mark the location of mounting brackets on the wall. If your fireplace isn't equipped with a template, use a spirit level and pencil to draw an even line on the wall where you will need to drill holes for the brackets.
After marking the area, cut and measure pieces of drywall to fit in the opening. If you are converting an old fireplace, you'll have to patch the walls before you install the drywall. You may also opt to install a custom mantel and hearth in place of a wood frame.
If you have an electric fireplace with built-in the back of the unit will have holes or slots to connect to the holes or slots on the mounting brackets. Some units will also have an electrical cord that you'll need to fish through the wall and plug into an outlet. Consider using tackable and paintable power cord covers if do not want to move the plug socket.
