Electric fireplace installation explained for Clear Lake homeowners
A closer look at the work, from our family-owned crew serving Clear Lake.
Mounting height for the best flame view
Mounting height is partly comfort and partly the maker's advice. Dimplex's IgniteXL manual recommends mounting the bottom of the unit between 30 and 40 inches from the floor for the best viewing angle of the flame.
We mock up the height on your wall with tape so you can see it from where you sit. If a TV is going above, the fireplace height and the TV height are chosen together. The final numbers go on the estimate, so there is no debate on install day.
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.
Away from fuel, paint and solvents
All electric heaters have hot and sometimes sparking parts inside. Makers warn against using them where gasoline, paint or other flammable liquids are used or stored.
That rules out a workshop corner of the garage or a room where paint cans are kept. During the inspection, we ask how the room is used. If it doubles as storage for fuel or solvents, we recommend a different location or moving the storage before the fireplace goes in.
Planning during construction or a remodel
The best time to plan a built-in electric fireplace is before the drywall goes up. The opening, the sill, the power and the TV blocking can all be set up while the studs are open.
Send us the fireplace model and the wall plan early. We work from the manual to give your builder or remodeler the opening size, the connection point and the clearances. When the wall is finished, the fireplace slides in and the trim goes on without surprises.

Your Clear Lake electric fireplace questions, answered
Questions we hear on electric fireplace visits in Clear Lake, answered plainly.
Can an electric fireplace go under my TV?
Often, yes, if the fireplace manual and the TV maker's guidance agree on the layout. The heater outlet direction and the distance between the two matter most. We plan both on the wall before anything is mounted.
Is the in-home visit really free in Clear Lake?
Yes. There is no charge for the visit to your Clear Lake home and no obligation to book. You get a clear explanation and a written estimate for the installation.
