Getting an electric fireplace right in Lake Butler homes
Our team in Lake Butler walks every homeowner through points like these.
Insulation and vapor barriers in the wall
Recessing a fireplace into an exterior wall brings it close to insulation and sometimes a vapor barrier. Some manuals say the unit must not be in direct contact with either. Dimplex's IgniteXL manual includes that caution.
When we plan a recess on an outside wall, we open the cavity knowing what we will find and build the enclosure so the unit sits where its manual allows. Sometimes that means framing a shallow bump-out into the room instead of cutting into the exterior wall cavity.
A TV above an electric fireplace
Putting a television above an electric fireplace is common, but two sets of instructions apply. The fireplace manual says where heat leaves the unit and what may sit near it. The TV maker has its own guidance on heat and mounting.
We lay out both on the wall before anything is mounted. The heater outlet direction, the distance to the TV and any mantel or shelf between them all get checked. The plan is written down, so the TV installer and our crew work to the same layout.
Two people to lift larger units
Long linear fireplaces and large inserts are heavy and awkward. Makers often say that two people are required for some installation steps, and a dropped unit can crack the glass or bend the frame.
Our crew handles the lifting and setting as a team. We unpack carefully, move the unit on protected floors and set it into its opening or on its bracket without strain. It is part of why the fireplace arrives on your wall in the same condition it left the box.
Removing doors, grates and screens
Before an insert goes in, the old fireplace hardware usually has to come out. Glass doors, grates, andirons and mesh screens all take up space the insert needs.
We remove them carefully, patch small holes left by door frames where needed and haul the old parts away if you do not want them. That removal is listed on your estimate. If you would like to keep a set of doors or a screen, tell us and we will set them aside.

Electric fireplace answers for Lake Butler homeowners
Questions we hear on electric fireplace visits in Lake Butler, answered plainly.
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.
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.
