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

A lot of the most recent electric fireplace models have an incredibly deep depth that is invisible, creating an "integrated" appearance. This kind of wall fireplace made from electric is best illustrated by the Panorama BI Deep series. It has an 5.8-inch depth that lets the user see the flames and the ember bed and not the frame of the fireplace. The media package includes driftwood logs in natural colors, white pebbles or clear glass crystals that add a luster to the embers and reflect the flames.

Gas wall-mounted fireplaces also come in deep and shallow models. When deciding the depth of your fireplace it is important to keep in mind that these units are supplemental heating sources and must be properly vented by a trained professional. The length of the vent pipe, the size of the flue and the distance between the stove and the vent are all factors that should be considered when determining the depth of a fireplace made of gas.

Some models, like the Allusion line of electric fireplaces, can be positioned partially recessed into a wall without compromising the output of heat.

To begin the installation start by marking the wall using pencil where the bracket will be installed. Use a stud-finder to locate the studs and place each bracket in front of at least one stud for stability. If a stud isn't accessible or isn't suitable for your fireplace, make use of anchors for the drywall to support the mounting bracket.

Once you've determined the location of the brackets for mounting then use a drill to screw them into the wall making sure they're aligned with the studs. If possible, connect each bracket to a stud to ensure security and strength, but you can also use anchors made of plastic if necessary. After the mounting brackets are installed then lift the fireplace up and hang it from the bracket. When the fireplace is positioned be sure that it is level.

Before you begin the installation, plug your fireplace in and make sure that all the features are working properly. Then, light the fire, test the heating, the lighting of the ember bed, and so on. Once you are happy with the result, it's time to install the floating mantel.

Depending on the type of your fireplace, you'll either need to connect its wire connection to the appliance wire connector at the lower part of the mantel. Or if the 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 to find specific instructions for removing the glass front panel and inserting it into the opening.

This option makes these models popular for walls that divide common entertainment spaces like dining and living areas. They can also be utilized in bedrooms where adding the fireplace can be a cost-effective method to cool an area without compromising privacy.

While plug-in electric fireplaces don't require hardwiring like traditional fireplaces, they must be installed on the wall that is at a minimum not stud-free and is able to support the weight of the wood fireplace. Certain models come with an accessory kit to make this process simpler with an electrical power cord that is pre-wired and an specialized mounting bracket. This kit is suitable for construction of drywall or concrete.
