Easy to Install

The installation of a wall mounted electric fire is relatively simple - providing you're working with a suitable model that will fit in your space. Many models include templates that tell the locations to drill holes in the wall. They also come with spirit level and stud finders to ensure you can work in a safe space. With these tools in place, and provided you follow the manufacturer's advice regarding clearances (to ensure that heat damage is not caused to TVs or artwork), fitting your electric fireplace shouldn't take more than 30 minutes.

If you're working on an item that is recessed, you'll have to frame the opening. This can be done by cutting two 2x6s that are one inch smaller than the wall to be finished and drilling holes into them at the appropriate locations. Once this is done then you can install two brackets made of L-metal to the wall to hold the fireplace.

There are several all-in-one options that blend the fire with a frame that looks like an mantelpiece. Suites such as the Dimplex Bach and the Celsi Flamonik Rapture can be used as an accent piece in rooms without a traditional fireplace.

Once the frame is set it's a matter of connecting the hanging screws to the rawl plugs and connecting the electric fire to these. Certain models can be mounted directly on the bracket, while others require you to make a hole in the wall and then create a recess in the wall.

Then, you'll need to connect the fire to a power outlet. Most models come with separate controls for heat and flame so you can alter the settings to suit your needs. You can also choose a model that can run on an USB power source, so that you can use it from home too.

For safety, it's a good idea to move your fireplace as close as possible to the nearest plug socket, and keep the cord from view by tucking it in the skirting or using paintable wire covers. You should also consider buying an appliance that comes with a fuse in order to safeguard the appliance from overload.
