What goes into an electric fireplace install in Maitland
What our pros check and why, on electric fireplace jobs across Maitland.
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.
The chimney is still up there
Converting a fireplace to electric does not remove the chimney above it. It still stands in the weather, still has a top that should be covered and still needs to keep water out of the house.
We note the condition of what we can see when we close off the opening. If the chimney needs a cap or other attention, you hear about it as a separate item. An electric insert solves the fireplace question, and the chimney deserves its own look now and then.
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.
The first time the heater runs
The first time an electric fireplace heater runs, it can give off a faint smell as dust on the new element warms up. That usually fades quickly.
We run the heater during the walkthrough so that first smell happens while we are there to explain it. A sharp or plastic smell that does not fade is different and means the unit should be switched off and checked. Call us if that happens.
