Modern-style electric fireplaces have grown in popularity in recent years. Fake flame effects today seem quite genuine, and modern fireplaces not only give a great visual but also efficiently heat living rooms.
Â
When thinking about installing an electric fire in your house, it’s critical to get the advice of a skilled electric fire installation specialist. Their knowledge and experience guarantee that not only is the electric fire installed safely but that it is strategically placed to maximise heat circulation throughout the space.
Â
One of the key decisions you’ll make is choosing between wall-mounted electric fires and inset fires that fit into a wall recess. Wall-mounted fires are generally easier to install, especially in spaces without a recess prepared for the fire. On the other hand, inset fires seamlessly integrate into a hole in the wall, providing a more customised and built-in appearance.

Most modern electric fire models have a plug and won’t require any wiring but if you need a new socket installing in the location that you want to install your fire, you will require an electrician for the job. If no new socket is required, you can install the fire yourself or get a handyman to mount the fire onto the wall securely.
The total cost of installing an electric fire will usually be between £260 and £2,225.
Â
To mount a fire onto a wall, a tradesperson will usually charge between £60 and £100. If any electrical work is required, there will be an extra cost. Installation of a new socket will usually cost between £75 and £125. The cost of the fire will be between £200 and £2,000, depending on which model you choose.
Â
If you are having a media wall built that incorporates your new fire and TV, this will usually involve building a stud wall and will cost around £1,000 to £3,000 to build, depending on the design and materials you choose.
Although electricity has a higher unit cost than gas, electric fires are very efficient to run. They are particularly efficient if you only want to heat one room, rather than turning the gas heating on to heat the whole property. The amount of electricity you use will depend on the type of fire you have chosen and the current energy rates.Â
Â
For a 1kW fire it will usually cost around 30p to have the fire on for an hour.
Â
Using an electric fire can also help to reduce maintenance costs for your boiler and heating system, if you are using your heating system less. So, taking into account the relatively low costs of installation, the low maintenance and costs of running, having an electric fire installed will usually be very worthwhile. You can use an online calculator to see how much your preferred model of electric fire will cost to run before deciding which one to go for.
If no extra wiring is required, and you have a good level of DIY skills, you may be able to wall-mount an electric fire yourself. However, an electric fire installation expert will ensure it is safely installed and that the job is completed to a high standard.
