Before an electric fireplace goes on your wall in Waterford Lakes
Here is how our local team thinks through an electric fireplace installation at your Waterford Lakes home.
Where the power cord goes
A fireplace cord running under a rug or behind a sofa is easy to forget and easy to damage. Makers warn against running cords under carpet, covering them with rugs or runners and routing them under furniture or appliances.
We place plug-in units so the cord reaches the outlet directly and stays out of walkways. On built-in and insert installations, the cord or supply runs inside the framing or the firebox to a planned connection point. You should not see it once the job is finished.
Mounting height for the best flame view
Mounting height is partly comfort and partly the maker's advice. Dimplex's IgniteXL manual recommends mounting the bottom of the unit between 30 and 40 inches from the floor for the best viewing angle of the flame.
We mock up the height on your wall with tape so you can see it from where you sit. If a TV is going above, the fireplace height and the TV height are chosen together. The final numbers go on the estimate, so there is no debate on install day.
If you ever want to burn again
Some homeowners convert to electric and later want a real fire again. That is possible, but the steps have to be reversed properly. The insert comes out, the sealing material at the damper or throat is removed and the chimney gets a full inspection before anyone lights anything.
We record what was done when we install the insert, so reversing it is straightforward. Keep that record with your home papers. It tells the next contractor exactly what was sealed, where and with what material.
Replacing an older electric fireplace
Older electric models were often smaller, used different mounting systems and had different opening sizes. A new model rarely drops straight into the old hole.
We remove the old unit, measure the opening and compare it with the new manual. Sometimes a trim kit covers the difference. Sometimes the opening needs reframing and the finish needs patching. The estimate tells you which before you buy the new unit, if you ask us early enough.

Your Waterford Lakes electric fireplace questions, answered
If your question is not here, our Waterford Lakes team is a phone call away.
Can every electric fireplace be recessed into a wall?
No. The manual lists the mounting styles each model allows, and a unit made to hang on the surface may need open space around its vents. We check your model before planning any opening.
Can an electric fireplace go in a bathroom?
Only if its manual allows it. Some makers rule out bathrooms entirely, while others allow them with a GFI-protected supply. The manuals we have read also say never to place a unit where it could fall into a tub.
