Before an electric fireplace goes on your wall in Richmond Heights
A closer look at the work, from our family-owned crew serving Richmond Heights.
Planning during construction or a remodel
The best time to plan a built-in electric fireplace is before the drywall goes up. The opening, the sill, the power and the TV blocking can all be set up while the studs are open.
Send us the fireplace model and the wall plan early. We work from the manual to give your builder or remodeler the opening size, the connection point and the clearances. When the wall is finished, the fireplace slides in and the trim goes on without surprises.
Hauling away the old unit
When a new electric fireplace replaces an old one, or an insert replaces doors and a grate, the old parts have to go somewhere. Electronics and glass should not just be left at the curb.
We take the old unit and packaging with us and dispose of them properly. That is listed on your estimate as part of the job. If you want to keep the old unit for another room, tell us and we will leave it boxed and ready to move.
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.
Water-vapor fireplaces need their reservoir reachable
Water-vapor electric fireplaces make their flame from a fine mist lit by lights, so they carry a water reservoir that needs refilling and cleaning. Their manuals say what water to use and how to reach the tank.
When we build one of these into a wall, we plan access to the reservoir so refilling does not mean pulling the unit out. We also keep the unit level, which matters more when water is involved. The refill routine is part of the walkthrough.

Before your electric fireplace install in Richmond Heights
Our family-owned team in Richmond Heights answers the questions that come up on installation jobs.
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.
Will you install a fireplace I bought online?
Yes. Send us the model number when you book so we can read its manual before the visit. If the model does not suit your wall, we tell you before anything is cut.
