They are very safe, but be sure to follow the instructions and safety information

A dedicated circuit is the first standard, usually a 20 Amp.

We have an electrician we use for remodeling and we would want a dedicated circuit for safety reasons no matter what size unit we install. 

We won’t cover any plug or switches up

Leading design trends for 2027:

  1. Long linear fireplaces
     Generally 50–72 inches wide, installed beneath a tv

  2. Fireplace walls with built-ins
     Matching base cabinets, floating shelves, bookcases and concealed media storage.

  3. Warm natural materials
     White oak, walnut warm stone and beige or cream tile are replacing cold gray finishes.

  4. Floor-to-ceiling surrounds
     Tile, vertical paneling or smooth plaster carried all the way to the ceiling.

  5. Traditional-modern combinations
     A contemporary electric fireplace combined with a substantial wood mantel, shaker cabinets and classic molding—especially appropriate for our area. It's a natural fit for the many older and traditional homes across Taunton and Bristol County.

  6. Plaster and limewash appearance
     Soft, textured finishes that provide warmth without making the wall overly busy.

  7. Dark, dramatic feature walls
     Deep green, charcoal, navy or black cabinetry with warm wood shelves.

  8. Integrated lighting
     Layered lighting, Dimmable LED lighting under shelves, inside cabinets or above the fireplace.

  9. Lower televisions
     Shorter fireplace units, thinner mantels and recessed installations help prevent TVs from being mounted to high.

  10. Connected entertainment spaces
     The fireplace wall coordinates with a nearby wet bar, beverage refrigerator, cabinetry or home-office area.

Wet bar or beverage center style these days:

  • A single-wall wet bar instead of a large L-shaped bar

  • Base cabinets with a small undermount sink

  • Beverage or wine refrigerator

  • Coffee service and family beverages—not just alcohol any more

  • Quartz or natural-stone countertop

  • Full-height backsplash

  • Floating wood shelves or glass-front upper cabinets

  • Warm oak, walnut, dark green, navy or rich wood cabinetry

  • Under-shelf lighting

  • Aged brass, bronze or matte-black hardware ( if younger kids black not best ) 

  • Dedicated plug is always recommended 

  • Plug directly into a properly grounded wall receptacle.

  • Do not use an extension cord, power strip, or plug adapter.

  • The receptacle must remain accessible as required by the installation instructions.
