Aside from the potential danger of fire the touch of these items could cause physical harm and burns. It is also important to be sure to keep the air vents clear at the front of the fireplace. This is vital to ensure the proper operation of the fireplace since it allows warm air to flow freely and decrease the risk of overheating. A fireplace with an electric insert is not only a space saver but can also make rooms feel more welcoming to guests.

A built-in electric fireplace can be mounted to the wall using either a surface or recessed mount. Surface-mounted units can be easily removed from the wall or repositioned in a different place without the need of a circuit breaker that is wired. Recessed units must be removed and then reinstalled by an expert. They also have to be wired in the new position. A built-in electric fireplace also has a drawback: they don't offer as much warmth as traditional fireplaces and don't work during a power failure. If you don't have an alternative power source, this could be a problem for homeowners who have. Heat A fireplace is a focal point that brings warmth and comfort to any room. Wall fireplaces with built-in electrics provide the look of a real fire without the hassle or cost associated with gas or wood.

Electric fireplaces can warm up to 400 square foot rooms and can be operated with three different power levels depending on the heating requirements.

Electric fireplaces also allow you to alter the intensity of heat and the brightness of flames at the push of a button. This gives you complete control over the ambience of your fireplace, making it ideal for any space. A wall-mounted fireplace offers the benefit of being easy to set up and requiring no structural modifications. There is no need for venting chimneys, flues, or chimneys. Electric fireplaces that are built-in or recessed, like the Ezee Glow Zara Black Wall Mounted Electric Fireplace, or the ClassicFlame Ignis Royal Collection can be placed almost anywhere on the wall. They plug into electrical sockets just like a TV or an art piece. Recessed wall electric fireplace insert can be recessed partially or completely recessing into the wall and you can pick from a wide range of options that will match your style, including trim and surrounds. You can also include an optional mantel, although this may increase the installation time and complexity, as well as the amount of space it will take up in your home. If you opt for a fully-recessed model, basic framing will be required, and it will have to be hardwired into the wall in the rear. Installation There are several ways to put an electric wall fireplace. Some are able to be mounted on the wall with special brackets that resemble a mirror or picture. Some can be recessed in the wall using an installation kit that is suited to the fireplace and hides any wiring that is exposed. Another popular option is to frame space within the wall and 'build-in' the fireplace, which allows for a more traditional appearance. Electric fireplaces are easy to install for the average homeowner. It is best to hire a qualified electrician to complete any electrical work. A majority of fireplaces have an electrical cord that plugs into an outlet, which can be hardwired into a electrical system of the home (if allowed by local codes). Review the installation manual for your model to determine the minimum clearances required from burning materials. Check the installation manual for your model to find out the required distance from combustible material. For most models, you should allow ¼” more space than the fireplace's dimensions. Then, screw the mounting bracket to the fireplace's side. Mounting kits can help with this step, making it even easier for homeowners. Use a screwdriver while hanging the fireplace on the mounting bracket to tighten any screws. This will ensure that the fireplace is in good shape and solid against the wall. This is a crucial step since it's a permanent fixture, and you do not want it to fall loose or be unstable. Then, hang the glass face on the fire appliance. This can be a difficult task based on the model that you have chosen. It is suggested that you get someone to help. Once the fireplace is set you can test it by plugging it in and playing with the lights and heat. It is important to follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing an electric wall fireplace. This will ensure that you are using it safely and correctly. Certain fireplaces feature a safety switch that blocks the fireplace from turning off when plugged into an outlet. It is also a good idea to install a dedicated circuit from the electrical panel that serves the fireplace, since this can reduce the chance of something else within your home that could trip the breaker and possibly creating a hazard.
