Electric Fireplace Installation Done by the Manual
Every installation follows the unit's manual, and our workmanship warranty covers the work.
An electric insert in a fireplace you no longer use
Electric inserts are made to slide into an existing fireplace opening. Dimplex's guidance says its electric inserts are designed to fit existing wood-burning openings, and that electric fireplaces need no chimney or vent because they burn no fuel.
That makes an insert a popular way to retire an old fireplace. Our pros measure the opening, match it to an insert and trim kit that fit, and plan how the cord reaches a suitable outlet. You see the fit and the price in writing before the insert is ordered for your home in West Tampa.
Closing off the old chimney
An open damper above an electric insert lets cooled room air escape up the old chimney and lets outside air and moisture in. With nothing burning below, the damper has no reason to stay open.
Our team checks that the damper closes properly and, where it does not, talks you through ways to close off the opening before the insert goes in. The chimney top matters too, since a missing cap lets rain run down toward the insert. Both appear in the estimate for your home in West Tampa.
Installing with the heater switched off for good
Some rooms need the look of a fire far more than the heat. The IgniteXL manual describes a heater hardware disconnect that permanently disables the heater and fan for installations where no heat is wanted, while the flames still work.
Only some models offer that, and on those that do, it is a deliberate step taken at installation. Our pros explain the option for your model and set it up if you choose it, so the fireplace in your West Tampa home runs exactly the way you want.
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 West Tampa home.
