Before an electric fireplace goes on your wall in Keene's Pointe
Here is how our local team thinks through an electric fireplace installation at your Keene's Pointe home.
Electrical work belongs to an electrician
Makers of electric fireplaces tell owners to have an electrician install any new circuit and to make sure construction and wiring comply with local building codes. That includes new outlets, dedicated circuits and hardwired connections.
Our installers handle the fireplace, the framing and the finish. When your project needs electrical work, we list it separately on the estimate, coordinate timing with the electrician and mark the connection point from the manual. You always know who is doing what and what it costs.
When the wall is too shallow
A standard interior wall cavity is only a few inches deep, and many recessed fireplaces are deeper than that. The unit either needs a thicker wall, a built-out section or a partial recess where part of the body sits proud of the surface.
We measure the unit's depth against your wall and show you the options. A built-out wall can also hold a TV and shelving, which is why many homeowners choose a media wall. The estimate describes the framing needed to give the fireplace the depth it requires.
Electric fireplaces near bathrooms
Manuals disagree on bathrooms, which is why we always check. Dimplex's XHD firebox manual says the unit is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas or similar indoor locations. Its IgniteXL built-in manual includes a section on bathroom use that calls for a GFI-protected receptacle or circuit.
Every manual we have read says never to place the fireplace where it could fall into a bathtub or other water container. If you want a fireplace in or near a bathroom, we read your model's rules first and plan the location and power only where they allow it.
Replacing an older electric fireplace
Older electric models were often smaller, used different mounting systems and had different opening sizes. A new model rarely drops straight into the old hole.
We remove the old unit, measure the opening and compare it with the new manual. Sometimes a trim kit covers the difference. Sometimes the opening needs reframing and the finish needs patching. The estimate tells you which before you buy the new unit, if you ask us early enough.

Your Keene's Pointe electric fireplace questions, answered
If your question is not here, our Keene's Pointe team is a phone call away.
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.
Will you install a fireplace I bought online?
Yes. Send us the model number when you book so we can read its manual before the visit. If the model does not suit your wall, we tell you before anything is cut.
