How To Install an Electric Fireplace
Easy Installation, Anywhere
To ease this installation, I built out an existing wall. Doing this makes it possible to put an electric fireplace anywhere in your home without worrying about compromising a load-bearing wall or the insulation on an exterior wall. It simplifies pulling wires too, but you’ll have to apply drywall, tape and mud.
We installed the The Sideline 60 Elite Fireplace from Lowe’s.
Map it Out
To position the fireplace with the required clearance, I started with a cardboard cutout of the fireplace. For this bathroom remodel, we’re adding a raised deck for a tub. So I marked the finished height of the tub deck, the height of the tub and six inches of clearance above the tub to the bottom edge of the fireplace. I centered and leveled the cutout, then taped it to the wall.
