The first step in putting in an electric fireplace that is wall mounted is to conduct a preliminary survey of the walls on which you're planning to put up your new electric fireplace. It is essential to ensure the wall is load bearing and can be drilled (if required). Many electric fires have a template that shows where you can drill holes. It is also recommended to utilize a spirit level and a cable finder and pipe to make sure that the wall is straight prior to you begin drilling.
Once you've completed the survey prior to installation, it's time to gather your tools and get ready for installation. The instructions for your electric fire will tell you if it needs an a wall bracket or hanging screws. If you're using an existing wall bracket, make holes into the wall and then attach them using rawl plugs. Alternately, you can use hanging screws, which are typically fitted into slots on the back of the fireplace.
Once you've connected the electric fire to its mounting bracket or hanging screws, you are able to add the finishing elements. It is important to ensure that the heater is at least 400mm away from combustibles, and that there aren't any obstructions that could be in the way of the flames. It is also the time to ensure that your electric fireplace is mounted at the correct height.
When you're done you can plug your electric fireplace into an ordinary power cable and enjoy the warm ambiance of your new fireplace. Depending on the model, you might be able to modify it by adding different surrounds or flame colors. If you'd like to create a unique look, you can hire a contractor who will create a frame and put up drywall on your wall.
