Easy to Install

The installation of a wall mounted electric fire is fairly simple – providing you're working with a suitable model that suits your space.

Fitting your electric fireplace shouldn't take more than 30 minutes if you have the right tools and follow the guidelines of the manufacturer regarding clearances.

If you are working with an item that is recessed, then you'll need to frame the opening. This can be done by cutting two 2x6s that are an inch shorter than the wall to be finished and drilling holes into them in the right places. Once you've done this then you can install the brackets with L-metal to the wall to hold the fireplace.

There are also a variety of all-in-one solutions that include both the fire and a frame that resembles a mantelpiece. This includes suites like the Celsi Flamonik Rapture and the Dimplex Bach, and they can be used to provide an aesthetic touch to rooms that don't already have a traditional fireplace.

After the frame has been installed, you can attach the electric fire by fixing the hanging screws into the rawl sockets. Some models are designed to be hung directly from the bracket while others may require that you make a hole in the wall and then create an opening in the wall that is recessed.

Then, you'll need to plug in the fire to an outlet for power. Most models come with separate controls for flame and heat so you can adjust them to meet your needs. You can also choose a model that can run on a USB power source, so you can use it away from home too.

To ensure safety, it's a good idea move your fireplace as close as is possible to the nearest plug socket, and to keep the cord from view by tucking it into the skirting or using paintable wire covers. It is also advisable to consider purchasing the plug with a fuse in order to safeguard the appliance from overload.
