This could mean that 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 larger fireplace.

Depth

It is crucial to be aware of the depth of a fireplace if you are planning to place it in an recessed position.

You should also consider the space available for the surround, and whether you would like a fireplace mantle.

Many of the newer electric models of fireplaces have the depth of being almost concealed, giving them the appearance of a "built-in" look. The Panorama BI-Deep series is a great illustration of this kind of wall-mounted electric fireplace electric. This model features a 5.8-inch depth that lets the viewer see the flames and ember bed and not the frame of the fireplace. It also comes with a choice of media options, including natural-looking driftwood logs, white pebbles, or crystals made of clear glass that reflect the flames and add luster to the ember bed.

Wall-mounted gas fireplaces are also available in shallow and deep models. When determining the depth of your fireplace it is important to remember that these fireplaces are supplementary heat sources and should be properly vented by an experienced professional. When determining the depth for gas fireplaces, you need to take into consideration the length of the vent pipe and the size of the chimney.

Installing a fireplace in the wall of your home could be an excellent way to increase its value and also add ambiance to your living spaces. It can also reduce your heating costs. Furthermore, it's a great option if you cannot install traditional fireplaces in your home due to space constraints or due to the location of an existing chimney.

Surface Mount

If you're not able or prefer not to cut through your wall or construct a space to accommodate an electric fireplace, a surface mount gives a sleek and modern appearance. Some models, like the Allusion line of electric fireplaces, can be positioned partially recessed into a wall, without compromising heat output.

To begin the installation, mark the wall with a pencil on the wall where the bracket will be mounted. Utilize a stud-finder to find the studs, and place the brackets in front of at least one stud to ensure stability. If a stud cannot be reached or isn't suitable for your fireplace, use drywall anchors as a support.

After you've marked the position of the brackets to be mounted and drilled them, screw them into the wall, making sure they're aligned with the studs. If you can, secure each bracket to a stud for strength and stability, but you can also use anchors made of plastic if necessary. Once the mounting brackets have been put installed, lift your fireplace and hang it from the wall bracket. When the fireplace is in place be sure that it is level.

Before proceeding with the installation, connect your fireplace and check whether all features are operating correctly - turn on the ethonal fire and ignite the flames, play around with the heat, ember bed lights and more. When you're satisfied with your results you can now install your floating mantel.

Depending on the model of your fireplace, you will either need to connect the wire connection to the appliance connector on the bottom of the mantel, or if it has hooks or slots, connect them to slots on the brackets for mounting. Once you've completed this step make sure to consult the user manual for instructions on how to remove the glass front panel from the opening and replace it.

If you want to adjust the height and width, you should replace the glass front once you have removed the front panel. If your fireplace has ember bed media, spread it over the top of the grate to give it a an appearance that is more natural and then secure it in place by using the screws that come with it.

Plug-In

In contrast to traditional fireplaces that burn wood, these electric versions don't need vents or chimneys. They're plugged into standard outlets that can provide supplemental heating for rooms that can be that are up to 400 square feet in size. You can also alter the ambiance with multiple flame and heat settings. Some models have LED lighting effects that emphasize the fire and embers. Other models include a top grille grate that hides manual controls but easily can be opened to reveal buttons to select the setting you prefer.

Electric fireplaces that plug in can be hung directly on walls or installed into the wall for an aesthetically pleasing appearance. These fireplaces are usually simpler to set up than a mantel fireplace. Some models have a pedestal that allow you place the fireplace on flat surfaces like a buffet or dresser. A remote control as well as mounting hardware and a log set are all included. Electric fireplaces can have both flame and heat options that can be turned off to create a year-round ambience.

Some models have adjustable privacy glass that you can quickly change from fully transparent to partially. This makes these models popular for walls that divide common spaces for entertainment, such as living and dining spaces. These models are ideal in bedrooms, where adding a fireplace is a cost-effective method to warm up a space and maintain privacy.

While plug-in electric fireplaces don't need to be hardwired like built-in versions they must be mounted within an area that is at a minimum stud-free and capable of supporting the weight of the fireplace. Some models include kits to make this process easier by providing an electrical power cord that is pre-wired and a special mounting bracket. This kit is suitable for construction of drywall or concrete.

If you opt to install your electric fireplace on the wall ensure that it is located near an outlet. Plug-in electric fire places can be connected to outlets on the same circuit as the electric fireplace or into a designated outlet. It is recommended to use a separate circuit, so that all other appliances in your home operate on the same voltage. This could trigger your circuit breaker.
