Before an electric fireplace goes on your wall in Spring Isle
A closer look at the work, from our family-owned crew serving Spring Isle.
Electrical work belongs to an electrician
Makers of electric fireplaces tell owners to have an electrician install any new circuit and to make sure construction and wiring comply with local building codes. That includes new outlets, dedicated circuits and hardwired connections.
Our installers handle the fireplace, the framing and the finish. When your project needs electrical work, we list it separately on the estimate, coordinate timing with the electrician and mark the connection point from the manual. You always know who is doing what and what it costs.
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.
The chimney is still up there
Converting a fireplace to electric does not remove the chimney above it. It still stands in the weather, still has a top that should be covered and still needs to keep water out of the house.
We note the condition of what we can see when we close off the opening. If the chimney needs a cap or other attention, you hear about it as a separate item. An electric insert solves the fireplace question, and the chimney deserves its own look now and then.
The order of work on install day
A smooth installation follows a simple order: read the manual, frame the opening, bring power to the connection point, close and finish the wall, set the unit, fit the trim, then the glass and media, then test.
Skipping ahead causes most of the problems we are called to fix, like a wall closed before the supply was run or tile set before the opening was checked. We follow the order every time and show it on your estimate, so you know what happens on which day.

Your Spring Isle electric fireplace questions, answered
If your question is not here, our Spring Isle team is a phone call away.
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.
What happens to my old fireplace doors and grate?
We remove them and take them away as part of the job, and the removal is listed on your estimate. If you want to keep any of it, tell us and we will set it aside.
