Electric fireplace installation explained for Camellia Gardens homeowners
Here is how our local team thinks through an electric fireplace installation at your Camellia Gardens home.
A mantel above an electric fireplace
A mantel shelf above an electric fireplace looks natural, but it sits right where warm air rises from a top-discharge heater. Some manuals say how far above the unit a mantel or shelf may go.
We check your model's guidance before choosing the mantel height. If the heater discharges downward instead, the concern shifts to what sits below. Either way, the mantel position is written into the plan so it suits both the look you want and the unit's instructions.
Remote controls and small batteries
Many electric fireplaces come with a remote that runs on small button or coin batteries. Makers warn to keep those batteries away from children and to seek medical help at once if one is swallowed.
At the walkthrough, we show you the remote and point out that warning in your manual. We fit the batteries correctly and suggest a spot to keep the remote out of reach of small hands. It is a small thing that matters in a home with young children.
Wall switch control
Some built-in electric fireplaces can be wired so a wall switch controls them, in addition to the remote. Dimplex's IgniteXL manual, for example, includes a 120 volt wall switch wiring option.
If you like the idea of a switch by the door, we plan it early, because it changes what the electrician runs inside the wall. The switch location and the connection go on the estimate. At handover, we show you how the switch and the remote work together.
Assembling a mantel package
Mantel packages arrive flat, with dozens of panels, screws and brackets. Assembled carelessly, they rack out of square, the firebox sits crooked and the doors or trim do not line up.
Our crew assembles the mantel on a protected floor, checks it for square as we go, sets the firebox as the instructions show and places the finished unit where you want it. We take the packaging away. You get a piece of furniture that looks the way the photo promised.

Electric fireplace answers for Camellia Gardens homeowners
If your question is not here, our Camellia Gardens team is a phone call away.
Can I plug my electric fireplace into a power strip?
No. Makers say to plug directly into a properly grounded wall outlet and never use an extension cord or power strip. If the outlet is in the wrong place, we plan a proper one with an electrician.
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.
