This typically refers to an electric fireplace unit that is designed to mimic the appearance of a traditional fire within a fireplace structure. The 'fire' is an illusion created by lighting effects, and the 'fireplace' is the housing, which can be a built-in hearth or a decorative mantel. These units use electricity for both the visual flame and the heating element, offering a safe and convenient alternative to wood or gas fires. We specialize in these installations.

The installation of an electric fireplace often begins with choosing the location and ensuring there's a nearby electrical outlet. For wall-mounted units, professionals will secure the mounting bracket to wall studs. For inserts, they'll ensure a snug fit within an existing or custom-built firebox. Finally, the unit is connected to power, either by plugging into a standard outlet or, for some larger models, by wiring to a dedicated circuit.
