The exact size of your fireplace will depend on a few things, including the size of the room and the length of the wall where you'd like to put it. The larger the space the more spacious it will be. This could mean you are in a position to fit a bigger fireplace in it. The same goes for the length of the wall, since a longer wall can accommodate a fireplace that is larger.

Depth

It is essential to know the depth of a fireplace if you intend to put it in a recessed location.

You should also consider the space available for the surround and if you want a fireplace mantle.

A lot of the latest electric ethanol fireplaces have a depth that is nearly concealed, creating a "built-in" appearance. The Panorama Bi-Deep series is a fantastic example of this kind of electric fireplace that is wall-mounted. The model has an 5.8-inch depth that allows the viewer to see the flames and the ember bed, not the frame of the fireplace. The media package includes driftwood logs in natural looks, white pebbles or crystals of clear glass to enhance the embers and reflect the flames.

Wall-mounted gas fireplaces are also available in shallow and deep versions. When deciding on the depth of your fireplace it is crucial to keep in mind that these units are supplemental heat sources and should be properly vented by a trained professional. When determining the depth for a gas fireplace you must think about the length of the vent pipe as well as the size of the chimney.

Surface Mount

If you're not able or prefer not to cut through your wall or create the space needed to install an electric fireplace, a surface mount gives a sleek and built-in style. Some models, such as the Allusion line, can even be installed partially recessing in the wall without compromising on the heat output or aesthetics.

To begin the installation start by marking the wall using a pencil where the bracket will be mounted. Utilize a stud locater to find the studs in the area. Make sure the mounting bracket is placed in the front of one or more studs for stability. If a stud can't be reached or is not suitable for your fireplace, you could use drywall anchors as a support.

Once you've determined the location of the brackets to be mounted and drilled them, screw them into the wall, ensuring they are properly aligned with the studs. You can use plastic anchors or studs to attach each bracket. After the mounting brackets are installed then lift the tabletop fireplace up and hang it from the bracket. Once the fireplace is installed, make sure it is level.

Before you proceed with the installation, connect your fireplace and ensure that all features are working properly - turn on the fire and light up the flames, play around with heat, ember bed lights and so on. When you are satisfied with the results, it's time to install the floating mantel.

Depending on the model of your fireplace, you'll either require a wire connection to the appliance wire connector in the lower part of the mantel. Or, if your fireplace has hooks or slots on the back connecting them to slots on the wall mounting brackets. After you've completed this, follow your fireplace's owner's manual for specific instructions on removing the front glass panel and inserting it inside the opening.

If you have to alter the height, replace the glass front after you have removed the front panel. If your fireplace is equipped with ember bed media spread it over the top grate for a more natural look. Secure it using the screws included.

Plug-In

Electric fireplaces don't require chimneys or vents like traditional wood-burning ones. Connected to a standard outlet, they can provide additional heating to rooms that are up to 400 square feet. You can also customize the ambience with a variety of settings for flame and heat. Certain models come with LED lighting effects to highlight the flame and embers. Some models have an upper grille grate that conceals manual controls but opens to reveal pushbuttons to set the desired setting.

Plug-in electric fireplaces can be mounted directly on walls or built into the wall to create a built-in appearance. These units are usually simpler to install than mantel fireplaces. Some units come with a pedestal to allow you place the fireplace on flat surfaces such as dressers or buffets. A remote control along with mounting hardware and a log set are included. Based on the model, these electric fireplaces could include heating and flame options that can be turned off for year-round ambiance.

Some models have adjustable privacy glass that you can change instantly from fully transparent to partially. This feature makes these models popular for walls that separate common entertainment spaces like living and dining spaces. These models can be utilized in bedrooms, where a fireplace is a cost-effective way to warm up a space and maintain privacy.

Plug-in electric fire places don't require a hardwire, but they must be plugged into a wall capable of supporting their weight. Some models come with a kit which includes an already wired cord and specially designed bracket to make the installation process less difficult. This kit is suitable for either concrete or drywall installation.

When choosing a location for your wall mount electric fireplace, ensure that it is near an electrical outlet. Electric fire places with plug-ins can be plugged in to outlets on the same circuit as the electric fireplace or into a dedicated outlet. It is best to choose a separate circuit to ensure that no other appliances in the home will operate at the same voltage and possibly trip your breaker.
