Also consider the space you'll need for the surround, and whether or not you'd like a mantle.

A lot of the latest electric fireplaces have a depth that is nearly hidden, giving them the appearance of a "built-in" appearance. The Panorama BI-Deep series is a great example of this kind of wall-mounted electric fireplace. It has an 5.8-inch depth that lets the user see the flames and ember bed and not the frame of the fireplace. It also comes with a variety of media packages including natural-looking driftwood logs, white pebbles, or clear glass crystals that reflect the flames and enhance the ember bed.

Gas wall-mounted fireplaces can be found in both shallow and deep models. When deciding the depth of your fireplace, it is important to remember that these fireplaces are supplementary heat sources and should be vented properly by an experienced professional. When determining the size of a gas fireplace it is important to take into consideration the length of the vent pipe as well as the size of the chimney.

Some models, such as the Allusion line, can be installed partially recessing in the wall without compromising on heat output or aesthetics.

To begin the installation process, identify the area where you want your fireplace to be placed and make a mark using a pencil on the wall where the bracket will be put. Use a stud-finder to locate the studs and place the brackets in front of at least one stud to ensure stability. If a stud is not in reach or doesn't work for your fireplace, use drywall anchors to help support the mounting bracket.

Once you have determined the position of the mounting brackets on the wall, use a power drill to install them and make sure they are properly aligned with the studs. You can use plastic anchors or studs to secure each bracket. After the mounting brackets are installed, lift the fireplace and hang it from the bracket. Once the fireplace is positioned be sure that it is level.

Before you begin the installation, plug your fireplace in and make sure all features work correctly. Light the fire, experiment with the heating, the lights for the ember bed and so on. When you are satisfied with the results it is time to put in the floating mantel.

Depending on the type of your fireplace, you'll have to connect the wire connection to the appliance wire connector on the bottom of the mantel or, if your fireplace has hooks or slots on the back connect them to the slots on the wall mounting brackets. Once you've done that you must follow the owner's manual for specific directions for removing the glass front panel and putting it back into the opening.

After you've removed the front panel of your fireplace and placed it in its opening, follow the manual's specifications to finish the installation by replacing the glass front and adjusting the height if required. 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 using the screws included.

They also come with a variety of temperature and flame settings so you can customize your ambience. Some models feature LED lighting effects to highlight the embers and fire. Certain models have a grille on top that conceals the manual controls, however they it can be opened easily to reveal buttons.

Electric ethanol fire places that plug in can be mounted directly on the wall or recessed to give the appearance of a built-in. They are typically simpler to install than mantel fireplaces. Some have pedestal bases to permit you to put the fireplace on a flat surface such as buffets or dressers. A remote control as well as mounting hardware and a log set are also included. Based on the model, electric fireplaces may include both heat and flame options that can be turned off to provide ambiance throughout the year.

Some models feature privacy glass that can be easily adjusted from completely transparent to partially transparent. This feature makes these models popular for walls that separate common entertainment spaces like living and dining spaces. These models can be used in bedrooms, where adding fireplaces is a cost-effective method to warm up a room and ensure privacy.

While plug-in electric fireplaces don't require hardwiring like traditional fireplaces, they must be installed on the wall that is at least stud-free and capable of supporting the weight of the fireplace. Certain models come with a kit which includes a pre-wired cord as well as a special bracket to make the installation process less difficult. This kit can be used for either construction of drywall or concrete.
