Installation

You should follow the manufacturer's instructions and be aware that some models are designed for installation in recessed areas. If you're uncomfortable with electrical work, think about hiring an expert electrician to wire your fireplace.
The first step to install a wall mounted fire is to conduct a preliminary survey of the walls in which you're planning to put up your new electric fireplace. You'll need to make sure the wall is load bearing, and that it can be drilled into (if necessary). A lot of electric fires have a template that outlines where you should drill holes. It is also recommended to use a spirit level and a cable finder and pipe to make sure that the wall is straight prior to you start drilling.
After you've completed the pre-installation survey, it's time to get your tools ready and begin installing. Your electric fire's instructions will tell you if it needs a wall bracket, or hanging screws. If you're using a wall mount, you need to drill holes in the wall, and then install rawl plugs. Hanging screws can also be used. They are usually put in slots on the backside of the fireplace.
Once you've connected the electric fire to its mounting bracket or hanging screws, you can put in the final details. You'll need to check that the heater is at least 400mm away from combustibles and there aren't any obstructions that could be in the way of the flames. It is also a good opportunity to make sure that your electric fire is at the correct height on the wall.
After you're done, you can plug in your electric fire into a standard power cord and enjoy the warm ambiance of your new fireplace. Depending on the model, you might be able to customize it by adding different flame colors or surrounds. If you're looking for a customized appearance, you can employ a professional to create frames and drywall your wall.
