Getting an electric fireplace right in Alafaya homes
A closer look at the work, from our family-owned crew serving Alafaya.
Outlets above and around the fireplace
Some manuals have specific rules about outlets near the unit. Dimplex's IgniteXL manual, for instance, says not to locate the heater immediately below a fixed socket outlet. A TV outlet placed carelessly above a fireplace can break that rule.
When we lay out a media wall, we mark the fireplace, the TV and every outlet together and check them against both manuals. Outlets for the television, a soundbar or lighting go where the fireplace manual allows. It is easier to get right on paper than to move after the wall is finished.
Not into a damp fireplace opening
Water and an electric heater do not mix. Dimplex's XHD manual says not to install the unit into an existing fireplace opening that is prone to dampness.
If we see water stains, rust on the damper or a damp smell in the firebox during the inspection, the source has to be dealt with first. That is chimney work, such as a cap or a leak repair, and we tell you so plainly. The insert goes in once the opening stays dry.
The order of work on install day
A smooth installation follows a simple order: read the manual, frame the opening, bring power to the connection point, close and finish the wall, set the unit, fit the trim, then the glass and media, then test.
Skipping ahead causes most of the problems we are called to fix, like a wall closed before the supply was run or tile set before the opening was checked. We follow the order every time and show it on your estimate, so you know what happens on which day.
Checking the unit before install day
Now and then a new unit arrives with cracked glass, bent trim or missing hardware. Finding that out on install day, with the wall open, is the worst time.
If you have the unit already, we open the box with you at the inspection or before the installation date and check the parts against the manual's list. If something is damaged or missing, you can start the claim with the seller right away, and we reschedule without charge.

Your Alafaya electric fireplace questions, answered
Our family-owned team in Alafaya answers the questions that come up on installation jobs.
Can you put an electric insert in my old fireplace?
Yes, in most sound, dry fireboxes. We measure the opening, remove old doors or grates, close drafts behind the insert as its manual directs and bring power to it. A trim kit then finishes the face.
Can an electric fireplace go in a bathroom?
Only if its manual allows it. Some makers rule out bathrooms entirely, while others allow them with a GFI-protected supply. The manuals we have read also say never to place a unit where it could fall into a tub.
