Flame Effects

Ventilation

There is no need to hire an electrician, you don't need a chimney and you don't have to worry about running gas lines through your home. However there are a few things to keep in mind when selecting a wall-mounted electric fireplace.

One of the main differences between wall-mounted and freestanding fireplaces is how they vent. While the majority of freestanding fireplaces have a vent located on the back of the unit, some wall-mounted models do not. This is because the majority of the heat is absorbed from the top of the fireplace. It could be dangerous if the fireplace is not vented properly. This is why it's crucial to read reviews before buying a unit.

Another big difference between freestanding and wall-mounted fireplaces has to do with the flame effects. While most freestanding fireplaces have LED screens and rotisserie style lights wall-mounted fireplaces employ mist and other advanced technology to simulate smoke and flames. Dimplex, for instance, has a fireplace line that uses ultrasonics to create the illusion of fire.

Some wall-mounted electric fireplaces can be recessed partially into the wall. This allows them to be installed in spaces that a traditional fireplace would not. This allows them to blend in with many different interior styles.

Some wall mount electric fire-mounted electric fire places are multi-view, whereas others are only front-view. These are usually a little bit larger than single-view models and allow you to see the flames from multiple sides of the room.

Installation

As the name implies wall-mounted electric fireplaces are designed to be fixed onto the wall, often using a mounting bracket. They are generally easy to install, though the procedure for installation will differ between models. Some models are attached to the wall using screws, while others require you to build an opening around them. In any case, it's important to carefully follow the instructions included with the fire, making sure the opening in the frame is measured and positioned in line with any safety guidelines.

The first thing to do is to find a place that will work for your fireplace. Take into consideration the design of the room as well as any furniture that is in place. You should also check whether the area is close enough to a power outlet or if you are willing to have an electrical contractor move a plug socket (if one already exists) for you.

After you've located a suitable location to place the fireplace, prepare the area by clearing it and removing any furniture and preparing the wall. This could mean removal of any wallpaper or decoration, as well as finding any studs and marking them using a Stud finder (you'll often be required to have two people hold the fireplace to ensure it's in the right place).

The majority of wall-mounted electric fireplaces come with a template for drilling holes. You should use to mark the places on the walls where brackets are to be fixed. After you've marked the locations on the wall, drill the holes. Then install the rawl plugs. As a general rule you'll need to make sure that the heater - which sits at the front of the fireplace and produces heat - is at least 400mm away from any combustible substances like fabrics.

After drilling the holes, you'll have to attach the mounting bracket. Based on the model, certain models will require you to fit the firebox onto the bracket, while others will require you to install the entire fireplace on the bracket before installing the screen. In any case, it's essential to adhere to the installation instructions precisely to ensure that you don't damage your new appliance. Once the fireplace is in place, plug it in and test it to ensure it's functioning properly.
