They plug into any standard outlet and do not require venting or chimney. You can also modify them to suit your preferences.

Easy to install If you're looking to upgrade your fireplace or install a brand new one installing a wall-mounted electric fireplace is a straightforward job. If you have all the tools that are needed, the job should only take around 30 minutes. The first thing you need to do is read the manual that came with the electric fireplace you purchased. This will provide you with a complete list of all essential tools. You will then need to choose the best location to put your fireplace. Make sure that the selected spot is appropriate for the dimensions and output of your electric fireplace. Make sure the location is near a power outlet. This will help you save time and money. After you've chosen the ideal location for your fireplace, you'll need to construct the frame that will support it. You will usually need to cut two 2x6s to be 1 inch smaller than your final wall, and screw them into the studs. You will then need to align the fireplace walls with studs using layout marks. After that, you will have to join blocks between the studs to strengthen the wall of the fireplace. If you're not at ease working with electricity, we suggest hiring a professional for this work for you. A professional can install and wire a recessed electric fire and can make sure that the wiring meets local regulations.
