Installing an Electric Fireplace That Suits Your Room
The checks, framing and fitting on an electric fireplace job in Forest Hills.
Keeping the weight of the wall off the unit
Set into a wall, an electric fireplace is not a structural part of it. The IgniteXL manual cautions that the fireplace is not load-bearing and that the opening must be framed so the weight of the building materials does not press on the top of the unit.
That calls for a proper header over the opening and a surround that carries its own weight, especially with stone or tile above. Our team builds the framing that way and checks it before the unit goes in, so the fireplace sits free in its opening in your Forest Hills home.
A mantel or shelf above the unit
A mantel frames an electric fireplace nicely, but it sits in the path of the warm air. The IgniteXL manual groups mantels with televisions and artwork as temperature-sensitive objects that follow their maker's guidance, and its diagram marks the warmer areas above the heater.
Our team checks the mantel material and height against those zones and suggests a position that keeps the shelf out of the warmest air. The mantel goes up after the unit is set, so its height is checked against the real opening in your home in Forest Hills.
Handling and setting the unit
Electric fireplaces are heavy, and their glass fronts do not forgive a knock. The IgniteXL manual calls for two people to install it and warns against striking the glass. Media such as logs or crystals and the front glass go in after the unit is set, in the order the manual gives.
Our team unpacks the unit, checks it for shipping damage, sets it and installs the media and glass as the manual shows. The same manual says not to run a fireplace that has been dropped or damaged, so a damaged unit is set aside before fitting in your Forest Hills home.
Testing every function before we leave
The installation is finished only when the fireplace works as it should. Our pros power the unit up, run the flame effect, test the heater and thermostat, and check the remote and any wall switch.
You watch each function with us, and we answer questions while the unit is running. If something is off, it gets sorted before we pack up, and you keep the manual and our number for anything that comes up later at your home in Forest Hills.
On any service we offer
Fitting, framing and finish, 10% off if booked within 72 hours of the visit.
