Electric fireplace details that matter in Orwin Manor
How the job runs in Orwin Manor, and where your choices come in.
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.
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.
Not into a damp fireplace opening
Water and an electric heater do not mix. Dimplex's XHD manual says not to install the unit into an existing fireplace opening that is prone to dampness.
If we see water stains, rust on the damper or a damp smell in the firebox during the inspection, the source has to be dealt with first. That is chimney work, such as a cap or a leak repair, and we tell you so plainly. The insert goes in once the opening stays dry.
An electric fireplace in the bedroom
A fireplace can make a bedroom feel warmer and calmer, but bedding, curtains and furniture are often close by. Makers ask for units to be kept away from drapes and furniture and never to have their front covered.
We plan the location so the heater has clear space in front of it and the cord or supply does not cross the floor. A unit mounted on the wall, rather than on the floor near the bed, often makes the layout easier.

Electric fireplace answers for Orwin Manor homeowners
If your question is not here, our Orwin Manor team is a phone call away.
Can I plug my electric fireplace into a power strip?
No. Makers say to plug directly into a properly grounded wall outlet and never use an extension cord or power strip. If the outlet is in the wrong place, we plan a proper one with an electrician.
