How we handle electric fireplace installation in Riverside Acres
Practical points from our electric fireplace installers in Riverside Acres.
Keeping drapes and furniture back
Makers ask that electric fireplaces be located away from drapes, furniture and high-traffic areas. A sofa pushed up close or curtains that brush the heater outlet can block warm air and get hotter than they should.
During the inspection, we look at how the room is used. We suggest a position that leaves space in front of the heater and keeps walkways clear. If a curtain or furniture layout would conflict with the manual, we tell you before the unit is mounted, not after.
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.
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.
What your installation estimate lists
Our estimate for an electric fireplace reads like a plan. It names the model and mounting style, the framing and sill, the connection type, any electrical work by an electrician, the finish and where it stops, removal of old parts, protection and cleanup.
Each line has upfront pricing, and there are no hidden fees. If you are comparing quotes, look for the same items on the others. A quote that just says install fireplace leaves a lot of room for surprises on the day.

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.
