Installation know-how from our Christmas crew
Practical points from our electric fireplace installers in Christmas.
The heater outlet must stay open
The heater in an electric fireplace pushes warm air out of an outlet, often a slot above or below the flame. Makers warn that the trim around it becomes hot and that the front of the heater must never be partly or fully covered.
We plan everything nearby around that outlet: mantels, shelves, decor and the TV. Before we leave, we run the heater and check that the outlet is clear. If you later add a mantel or decor, check the manual or call us so the outlet stays unobstructed.
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.
Glass and media go on last
The front glass on an electric fireplace is easy to scratch and awkward to clean once dust has settled behind it. Makers often say to leave it in the box until the rest of the installation is done.
We set the unit, finish the trim and clean the area, then fit the glass and arrange the media bed. It is also the moment to check that the media does not block the heater outlet or a light source. The fireplace should look its best on the first switch-on.
Power off before cleaning
Makers say to disconnect all power before cleaning, maintenance or moving an electric fireplace. For a plug-in unit, that means unplugging it. For a hardwired unit, it means the switch or breaker.
We show you where that is at the walkthrough. Makers also say to clean the glass with a damp cloth and dry it with a lint-free one to avoid spots. The rest of the routine, from the vents to the media, is in your model's care section.

Asked in Christmas about installing an electric fireplace
Short answers from our fireplace team in Christmas. Call for anything not covered here.
Does the 72-hour 10% discount apply to an installation?
Yes. Any service booked within 72 hours after your free inspection is 10% off, and electric fireplace installation qualifies. Mention it when you book and we will show the savings on your written estimate.
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.
