Electric fireplace details that matter in Mills 50
Straight answers about electric fireplace installation in Mills 50, from the people who do the work.
Outlets above and around the fireplace
Some manuals have specific rules about outlets near the unit. Dimplex's IgniteXL manual, for instance, says not to locate the heater immediately below a fixed socket outlet. A TV outlet placed carelessly above a fireplace can break that rule.
When we lay out a media wall, we mark the fireplace, the TV and every outlet together and check them against both manuals. Outlets for the television, a soundbar or lighting go where the fireplace manual allows. It is easier to get right on paper than to move after the wall is finished.
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.
Framing the opening to the manual
A recessed fireplace needs an opening framed to the width and height its manual gives, not to the size of the glass you see. Dimplex's IgniteXL manual, for example, gives a framed opening height and a width for each model length, with a bottom sill at least four inches deep.
We build the opening to those numbers, square and level, and check it against the unit before the drywall goes on. An opening that is a little off can leave gaps at the trim or force the unit out of level, so we measure twice before anything is closed in.
Power for the flame and for the heater
The flame effect on an electric fireplace uses little power, while the heater draws much more. The rating label shows the total, and that is the figure the circuit has to carry.
When we check a circuit, we plan for the heater running at full power, not for the flame alone. That way the fireplace works the same on the coldest night as it does on a warm one, without tripping the breaker.
