Wall-Mounted Fireplaces

A wall-mounted fireplace is an electric fireplace that can be attached directly to a wall, providing both heating and aesthetic appeal without requiring a traditional hearth. These fireplaces come in various styles and sizes, allowing homeowners to choose a design that complements their interior decor while enjoying the benefits of a fireplace without the need for a chimney or venting system.

Installation of a wall-mounted fireplace typically involves mounting a bracket to the wall and then securing the fireplace unit to this bracket. It’s important to ensure that the wall can support the weight of the fireplace. The process generally includes:

• Locating wall studs for secure mounting.
• Attaching the mounting bracket to the wall.
• Securing the fireplace unit to the bracket.
• Connecting the fireplace to an electrical outlet.
  Professional installation is recommended to ensure safety and proper setup, especially if you are unfamiliar with electrical work or wall mounting procedures.

Always consult with an expert.
