How we handle electric fireplace installation in Paradise Heights
Before you approve an installation in Paradise Heights, these are worth knowing.
120 volt and 240 volt models
Most household electric fireplaces run on 120 volts. Some larger built-in models can be wired for 240 volts, and their manuals say the circuit must be rated for the voltage used.
That choice is made before the wall is closed, because it decides what the electrician runs to the connection point. We confirm the voltage from the rating label and the manual, and the estimate spells out which supply your installation needs.
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.
Trim kits that close the gap
An insert rarely fills an old firebox exactly, so makers offer trim kits or surrounds that cover the gap between the unit and the fireplace face. The right trim is the one designed for your model.
We measure the gap and the fireplace face, then order the matching trim with the insert or confirm the one you have. It goes on after the insert is set and level. A tight trim is the difference between an insert that looks added in and one that looks like it belongs.
Remote controls and small batteries
Many electric fireplaces come with a remote that runs on small button or coin batteries. Makers warn to keep those batteries away from children and to seek medical help at once if one is swallowed.
At the walkthrough, we show you the remote and point out that warning in your manual. We fit the batteries correctly and suggest a spot to keep the remote out of reach of small hands. It is a small thing that matters in a home with young children.

Electric fireplace installation questions from Paradise Heights
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Paradise Heights is free.
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.
Do I need to be home during the installation?
It helps to be home at the start and for the walkthrough at the end. That is when we confirm the height and position and show you the controls. In between, we just need access to the room and the breaker panel.
