Electric Fireplace Wall Mount & Installation
Electric Fireplace Installation — From $99
An electric fireplace adds warmth, ambiance, and a visual focal point to any room — no chimney, no gas line, no venting required. But getting it mounted level, secured properly, connected safely, and integrated with a TV above requires professional installation. TV Mounting Experts handles wall-mounted, recessed, and media wall electric fireplaces. We ensure secure mounting into studs or masonry, proper electrical connections, heat clearance for any TV mounted above, and clean cable concealment. Same‑day appointments available in Charlotte, NC. For complete in-wall wire routing between the fireplace and TV, see our wire concealment service.
Why Choose Us for Electric Fireplace Installation
Electric fireplaces are heavy, need level mounting, and must be positioned with proper heat clearance — especially when a TV is going above. Here's why homeowners trust us:
-
Secure, Level Mounting
Electric fireplaces weigh 50–150+ lbs. We anchor into studs with heavy-duty hardware, verify level with precision tools, and ensure the unit sits flush against the wall. No sagging, no shifting — rock solid from day one.
-
Heat Clearance for TVs Above
Mounting a TV above an electric fireplace requires careful heat management. We measure the fireplace's heat output zone, maintain manufacturer-recommended clearance distances, and use heat shields or recessed mounting when needed to protect your TV.
-
Safe Electrical Connection
We connect to existing outlets and conceal the power cord behind the unit. If a new dedicated circuit or recessed outlet is needed, we identify the requirement and coordinate with a licensed electrician — never overloading circuits.
-
Recessed & Media Wall Integration
For built-in recessed installations, we frame the opening, mount the insert, and finish the surround. For media wall integrations with a TV above and shelving around, we coordinate the full layout for a cohesive design.
-

Electric fireplace installation starts at $99 for standard wall-mount units. Recessed installations, media wall builds, and TV-above combos cost more. Full flat-rate quote before work begins — no surprises.

What's Included in Our Electric Fireplace Installation
Every installation covers assessment, mounting, electrical connection, and testing:
-
Wall Assessment & Layout Planning
We inspect your wall type (drywall, brick, stone), locate studs, verify outlet placement, and plan the mounting position. If a TV goes above, we calculate heat clearance and alignment.
-
Secure Mounting & Leveling
Heavy-duty brackets anchored into studs or masonry. Unit mounted, leveled, and verified for stability. For recessed installs, the opening is framed to manufacturer specifications.
-
Electrical Connection & Power Concealment
Connected to an existing outlet. Power cord concealed behind the unit, routed through the wall, or hidden with surface channels. We identify if a dedicated circuit is needed and advise accordingly.
-
Function Testing & Calibration
All features tested — flame effects, heat settings, LED color options, remote control, timer functions. We walk you through the controls and confirm everything operates correctly.
-
Cleanup & Walkthrough
Installation area cleaned, packaging removed. We demonstrate all controls and features, and answer any questions about operation and maintenance.
What's NOT Included (Limitations & Exclusions)
Our service focuses on installation of electric fireplace units:
-
Fireplace Unit Purchase
You provide the electric fireplace. Not sure what size or model? We'll recommend units based on your wall dimensions and whether a TV is going above.
-
New Electrical Circuits or Wiring
We connect to existing outlets. New dedicated circuits, panel upgrades, or in-wall power wiring require a licensed electrician — we'll identify the need and advise on placement.
-
Drywall Finishing & Painting
For recessed installations, we frame the opening and mount the insert. Drywall finishing, mudding, and painting around the surround are outside our scope.
-
Gas or Wood-Burning Fireplaces
We install electric fireplaces only. Gas line connections, wood-burning inserts, and chimney work require specialized contractors.

Frequently Asked Questions — Electric Fireplace Installation
How much does electric fireplace installation cost?
Electric fireplace installation starts at $99 for standard wall-mount units. Recessed installations, media wall integrations, and TV-above combos cost more depending on complexity. We provide a flat-rate quote before starting.
Can I mount a TV above an electric fireplace?
Yes — it's our most popular combination. We maintain manufacturer-recommended heat clearance between the fireplace and TV, use heat shields when needed, and align both units visually. See our over-fireplace mounting service for more details.
For a pull-down TV solution above the fireplace, see our MantelMount installation.
Do electric fireplaces need a dedicated circuit?
Most electric fireplaces with heaters draw 1,500 watts (12.5 amps on a 120V circuit). If the outlet shares a circuit with other appliances, a dedicated circuit may be needed to prevent breaker trips. We'll assess your situation and advise accordingly.
Can you install a recessed electric fireplace?
Yes. We frame the wall opening to manufacturer specs, install the insert, and ensure proper ventilation and electrical access. Drywall finishing and painting around the surround are not included.
Can you mount an electric fireplace on brick or stone?
Yes. We drill into masonry using rated anchors and mount the fireplace securely. Cable concealment uses surface channels on masonry surfaces. See our hard surface mounting service.
Need the TV mounted too? Our TV mounting service handles the display while we handle the fireplace.
How heavy is an electric fireplace?
Wall-mount models typically weigh 50–100 lbs. Large recessed inserts can weigh 100–150+ lbs. We use heavy-duty brackets and anchor into studs to safely support the weight regardless of model.
How long does electric fireplace installation take?
Standard wall-mount installations take 1–2 hours. Recessed installations take 2–4 hours. TV-above combos add 1–2 hours for the TV mounting portion.
Do you offer same-day electric fireplace installation?
