Electric Fireplace Installation in Hamilton & the GTA

An electric fireplace gives you the glow of a real fire with no gas line, no chimney and no venting. Installed well, it becomes the centrepiece of the room: perfectly level, with a TV above it at a comfortable height and no visible wires. We install electric fireplaces across Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, Milton, Toronto and nearby.

What does electric fireplace installation involve?

Electric fireplace installation means choosing the right type (wall-mounted, recessed, linear media wall or insert), securing it to studs or framing at the right height, connecting it to a suitable power supply, and planning the TV above so the heat vent, screen height and cables all work together.

Planning the fireplace and TV together

Most electric fireplace jobs we do also include a TV above. Planning both at once avoids the three most common mistakes:

Heat outlet under the TV. Many electric fireplaces blow warm air from the top front edge. We check where your model vents and leave enough space, or choose a front-venting unit.
TV too high. A tall fireplace pushes the TV up. We set the fireplace height so the screen still sits close to eye level, and suggest a tilting or pull-down mount if needed.
Visible cords. We plan where power and HDMI run before anything goes on the wall, so both the fireplace and TV look wire-free.

Power: plug-in or hardwired?

Smaller wall-mounted and insert models usually plug into a standard 120 V outlet. Larger linear and built-in units are often hardwired and may need a dedicated circuit. In Ontario, hired electrical work such as a new circuit must be done by a Licensed Electrical Contractor, who files a permit with the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA guidance on hiring an electrician). We check your model’s requirements during the quote and tell you upfront if electrical work is needed.

Electric fireplace installation FAQs

Can you install an electric fireplace under a TV?

Yes. It’s our most common setup. We check where the fireplace vents heat, leave enough space and set the heights so the TV stays comfortable to watch.

Does an electric fireplace need a dedicated circuit?

Small plug-in models usually don’t. Larger hardwired and linear units often do, and in Ontario that work must be done by a licensed electrical contractor. We’ll check your model before installation.

Can an electric fireplace replace my old wood fireplace?

Yes. An electric insert fits into an existing wood fireplace opening, so you keep the mantel and surround without the smoke, ash or chimney cleaning.

Can you install an electric fireplace in a condo?

Yes. Wall-mounted and plug-in recessed units are popular in condos because they need no venting or gas. We follow your building’s rules for drilling and hours.

Do you supply the electric fireplace?

You can choose your own model, and we’ll install it. If you’re still deciding, we’ll advise on size, type and heat output for your room before you buy.
