Electric fireplace installation in Lake Magdalene

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 Lake Magdalene.

Air intakes and the warm-air outlet stay clear

The heater inside the unit pulls room air in and blows warm air out. The IgniteXL manual warns against blocking the air intakes or exhaust in any manner and against covering the front of the fireplace, even partly.

Built-in cabinets, trim and decor can do that by accident. Our pros design the surround so every opening the manual shows stays clear, and they point those openings out to you at the handover, so nothing gets stacked in front of them later in your home in Lake Magdalene.

An old gas supply in the opening

Some fireplaces being converted to electric once burned gas, and the supply line may still run into the opening. That line has to be dealt with properly before an electric insert goes in.

Shutting off and capping a gas supply is work for a qualified gas professional, done before the fitting visit. Our pros point out the line during the free inspection and put the step, and who handles it, in the plan for your home in Lake Magdalene. Please leave the fittings alone while getting the room ready.
