Purchasing the latest, high-tech Dimplex fire is the easy part. Figuring out how to set it in your wall space is more of a challenge. Electric Fire Installation specialists can help with everything from wall-mounting, to wiring, to carpentry work so you can have your electric fire exactly where you imagined. Some of the more complex and time consuming installations might require building a new wall or modifying an existing wall / chimney breast ( like a media wall installation ).

The scope of work will differ on a case by case basis so rates will vary. For a simple wall-mounted fire job, a tradesperson may charge between €60 to €90 for the service. If you want to start hiding cables, there’ll be some drilling and patching required which will bump up the price. For installations that require additional wiring, an electrician will charge in the region of €70 an hour. Then there’s the more complex jobs. For recessed electric fires, you’ll need to pay someone to drill into an existing wall or chimney breast, or build a new one if it doesn’t exist. A carpenter can do this for you for around €40 an hour. Whatever your needs, request a free quote below for the most accurate information!

If it is hard wired then you should hire an Electrician to connect it to the mains. Additionally, if there is no access to a power supply then you will need an electrician to bring a mains feed to the unit. For plug-in electric fires, where you have a socket in place, it might be as easy as plugging them in. As electric fires can be one of the biggest draws of electricity on the circuit, the outlet may overload and blow a fuse. An electrician can advise you if you should place the fire on its own circuit.
Media Walls have become very popular in recent years. Two of the reasons for this being how thin and light TV’s have become and secondly the move from traditional fueled fires to more sustainable heating systems. It will take a few different trades to complete a build of the media wall. An experienced carpenter will be able to build the media wall structure and a plaster and painter should be able to complete it to a finished standard, getting it ready to install the Electric Fireplace.
Yes! With the move towards more sustainable living, many people are making this switch every year. It’s relatively easy to fit an electric fire within the existing fireplace as there is already an existing cavity. However, it’s important to seal up your chimney to avoid rain or pests coming down the chimney and all of the heat being sucked up.
No, electric fires don’t use any real fuel so they won’t emit any smoke. This means they can be placed in most spaces. Do check with the unit's installation guidelines as you may still to ensure the fire is installed inside a suitable location and around non flammable materials.
Electric fires are a cheaper, safer, healthier and more sustainable option than traditional fireplaces. Though they can add a real cosy touch to a room, their flames aren’t real. They work similarly to an electric blow heater, heating the room with an internal fan. This means you get the illusion of a burning hearth without the hassle of having to buy coal, sweep out the grate or worry about smoke inhalation.
