Here is a guide to hanging your own wall mounted electric fireplaces, but every fire brand will come with their own specific instructions. You can hang a wall mounted electric fireplace on almost any wall, just like a picture or flat-screen TV. Most wall-mounted electric fireplaces come with brackets and hardware needed for installation.

Can you install a wall mounted electric fire yourself?

Yes you can, as wall mounted electric fires don’t require any structural modifications. It is recommended however to enlist the help of a friend if  it  is  large fire, as they can be quite heavy.

How to hang to the electric fire step by step.

1. A handy step we like to mention is to simply turn on the fire and plug it in and make sure everything is working before you hang it.
2. Ensure all the brackets and screws are there and you have all the tools you need.
3. Make sure all the components of the fire are there including your choice of either pebble or logs etc.
4. Find a safe location close to a power outlet, never use an extension cord.
5. Make sure you leave appropriate clearance for heat coming out of the fire. It varies on each fire, it may come from the top, front or bottom of the fire unit. Please reference your particular fires own instruction manual for this. Note: If you want a fireplace to hang below your TV – bottom and front heat units are the best so heat coming from the top of a fire does not over heat your television.
6. Attach the brackets to the wall  – take into account the measurements of your fire and where the slots are at the back of the fire so you can align the slots to the bracket – Make sure you attach to the wooden studs behind the wall or use plastic anchors to take the weight.
7. Hang the fire on the slots at the back of the fire to your brackets.
8. Attach the bottom brackets – some fires also come with bottom brackets for extra support.
9. Arrange the logs or pepples to your liking, plug in your fire and put your feet up.
10. ENJOY
