Wall mounted electric fireplaces are a type of electric fireplace designed to be installed on the wall of a home and so installation will be required to permanently mount the appliance.

To install a wall mounted electric fireplace

1. Choose a location that’s near enough to an electrical outlet for the power cord to reach, and that has sufficient clearance to nearby objects in line with what the manufacturer recommends in the owner’s manual.
2. Check the manual for guidance on how your model of wall mounted electric fireplace needs to be installed onto the wall. They can either typically be installed straight onto a wall or placed onto a bracket that in turn is installed on the wall. Some models may use a combination of both.
3. With help, mark out the locations on the wall for the screws, either by holding the fireplace up against the wall or by using a template.
4. Drill holes at the required locations using a drill bit that the owner’s manual specifies, and install the wall plugs.
5. With help, secure the electric fireplace to the wall using screws at the locations of the wall plugs, or firstly install the bracket(s) onto the wall if required.
6. Check that the appliance is firmly attached to the wall.
7. Install any other components onto the electric fireplace and plug the appliance into the nearby electrical outlet.
