Installation know-how from our Lake Shore Village crew
Practical points from our electric fireplace installers in Lake Shore Village.
Reading the rating label
Every electric fireplace carries a rating label with its model and electrical information, such as voltage and wattage or amperage. On Dimplex's IgniteXL models, the manual points to a label on the top of the unit.
That label is how we check the unit against the circuit it will use. It also helps the electrician if one is involved. We note the figures on your estimate and in your records, so anyone who works on the fireplace later knows what it draws without pulling it out of the wall.
Nothing is ever burned in an electric unit
Makers say it in every manual: do not burn wood or other materials in an electric fireplace. It sounds obvious, but an insert sitting in an old firebox can look enough like the real thing to confuse a guest.
We point this out at the walkthrough, especially when an insert replaces a wood-burning setup. The old tools and any leftover fuel should be cleared away. The electric fireplace makes its flame with light and its heat with an electric element, and nothing else belongs in it.
Checking the wall before cutting
Walls hide pipes, wires, ducts and sometimes fire blocking. Cutting an opening for a recessed fireplace without checking can mean a surprise leak or a damaged cable.
We check the wall before cutting, starting with small inspection openings where needed. If something is in the way, we plan around it or list moving it as separate work. The opening goes where it is safe to put it, and the plan is adjusted before any damage is done.
Building out a wall for depth
When a fireplace is deeper than the wall cavity, a built-out section gives it room. A bump-out can be just wide enough for the fireplace or run the full width of the wall to hold a TV and shelves as well.
We frame the bump-out square to the room, size the fireplace opening to the manual and plan outlets and cable paths inside it. The finished wall hides the framing entirely. The estimate lists the framing, the finish and the fireplace installation separately so you can see each part.
