What goes into an electric fireplace install in Apopka
Two parts of the job our fireplace specialists explain to homeowners in Apopka before install day.
Framing the opening to the manual
A recessed fireplace needs an opening framed to the width and height its manual gives, not to the size of the glass you see. Dimplex's IgniteXL manual, for example, gives a framed opening height and a width for each model length, with a bottom sill at least four inches deep.
We build the opening to those numbers, square and level, and check it against the unit before the drywall goes on. An opening that is a little off can leave gaps at the trim or force the unit out of level, so we measure twice before anything is closed in.
Getting power to an insert
An insert needs power, and most old fireboxes have none. Some homeowners run the cord out of the side of the opening to a nearby outlet. Others prefer a dedicated outlet inside or beside the firebox so no cord shows.
A new outlet is electrical work, done by an electrician and listed on your estimate. We mark where the insert's cord will reach and plan the outlet around that. The cord never runs under a rug or through a gap where it could be pinched.
What the heater is meant to do
An electric fireplace heater is supplemental heat for the room it sits in. It is not designed to heat a whole house. Its output is limited by the power it draws, which is shown on the rating label.
We explain what your model's heater can reasonably do in the room you have chosen. If you expect it to warm a large open space, we say honestly whether that fits. The goal is a fireplace that meets your expectations, not one that disappoints on the first cold night.
What the free visit covers
Our free visit for an electric fireplace is practical. We look at the unit or the one you are considering, read its manual, measure the wall or opening, check the outlet and what shares the circuit, and look at the room around the spot you have in mind.
At the end, you get a clear explanation and a written estimate. The visit costs nothing, and you owe us nothing if you decide not to go ahead. If your plan will not work with the unit you chose, you hear that from us before you commit.

Asked in Apopka about installing an electric fireplace
Short answers from our fireplace team in Apopka. Call for anything not covered here.
Do I need a new circuit for an electric fireplace?
It depends on the model. Some manuals require a dedicated circuit, others prefer one and some plug into a standard outlet. We read yours and check what else shares the circuit before recommending anything.
Do I need to be home during the installation?
It helps to be home at the start and for the walkthrough at the end. That is when we confirm the height and position and show you the controls. In between, we just need access to the room and the breaker panel.
