Our approach to electric fireplaces in Lorna Doone
Practical points from our electric fireplace installers in Lorna Doone.
Closing drafts behind an insert
An old fireplace opening is connected to the chimney above it, which means moving air, stray debris and sometimes water. Dimplex's XHD manual says to seal all drafts and vents in an existing opening with a non-fibrous insulation material to prevent chimney debris from falling onto the unit.
We close the damper or the throat as the insert manual directs and seal the openings around it. The work is listed on your estimate, and we note what was done, so anyone who looks at the chimney later knows the opening has been closed off.
Wall switch control
Some built-in electric fireplaces can be wired so a wall switch controls them, in addition to the remote. Dimplex's IgniteXL manual, for example, includes a 120 volt wall switch wiring option.
If you like the idea of a switch by the door, we plan it early, because it changes what the electrician runs inside the wall. The switch location and the connection go on the estimate. At handover, we show you how the switch and the remote work together.
Corner and freestanding units
Corner electric fireplaces and freestanding mantel packages need no framing. They still need a spot near an outlet, clearance around the heater and a floor that suits their intake, and some makers call for anchoring to the wall.
We assemble the unit square, place it where the cord reaches a wall outlet directly and fix any anti-tip hardware the maker supplies. It is a quicker job than a built-in, and it still gets the same care with the manual and the same cleanup.
Patching and painting after the install
Mounting brackets, moving outlets and cutting openings all leave marks in drywall. A fireplace that looks perfect with a patch showing beside it does not feel finished.
We patch holes we make, sand them smooth and prime them. Painting to match can be included on the estimate if you have the paint or the color. Either way, the scope says what finish work is included, so there are no surprises when we pack up.

Asked in Lorna Doone about installing an electric fireplace
Short answers from our fireplace team in Lorna Doone. Call for anything not covered here.
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.
