What goes into an electric fireplace install in South Apopka
The points below shape the plan we recommend in South Apopka, and each one shows up in your written estimate.
Not directly on carpet
Some plug-in fireboxes draw air from beneath the unit. Dimplex's XHD manual cautions against installing the fireplace directly on carpet or similar surfaces that may restrict air flow, and asks for clearance for air circulation beneath the unit and at least half an inch behind it.
When a mantel package or plug-in unit is going into a carpeted room, we set it on a suitable base or choose a spot on a hard floor. It is a small detail that lets the heater work the way it was designed to.
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.
Assembling a mantel package
Mantel packages arrive flat, with dozens of panels, screws and brackets. Assembled carelessly, they rack out of square, the firebox sits crooked and the doors or trim do not line up.
Our crew assembles the mantel on a protected floor, checks it for square as we go, sets the firebox as the instructions show and places the finished unit where you want it. We take the packaging away. You get a piece of furniture that looks the way the photo promised.
Patching and painting after the install
Mounting brackets, moving outlets and cutting openings all leave marks in drywall. A fireplace that looks perfect with a patch showing beside it does not feel finished.
We patch holes we make, sand them smooth and prime them. Painting to match can be included on the estimate if you have the paint or the color. Either way, the scope says what finish work is included, so there are no surprises when we pack up.

Electric fireplace installation questions from South Apopka
Answers from our specialists in South Apopka, with no sales pressure.
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.
