Can I Install a Fireplace Insert into My Existing Fireplace?

EcoSmart fireplace inserts are primarily designed for new constructions, allowing you to create a completely new fireplace in your space. Unfortunately, they aren’t intended for converting or remodelling existing masonry or gas fireplaces unless the dimensions fit appropriately. For existing fireplaces, we recommend our fireplace grates or ethanol burners. Remember to ensure that the flue is closed and that all utility connections are properly detached.

Are Ethanol Fireplace Inserts Easy to Install?

Absolutely! EcoSmart ethanol fireplace inserts require no venting, gas line, or electricity, making installation straightforward and cost-effective. Simply mount the insert into the wall framework, ensuring the opening size matches the selected fireplace insert. The flexibility of these inserts allows for incorporation at any stage of your renovation or building project.

Where Is the Best Place to Install an Ethanol Fireplace?

The beauty of EcoSmart ethanol fireplaces lies in their versatility. They can be installed almost anywhere—within walls, cabinets, high-rise buildings, and both commercial and residential settings. Since these fireplaces are ventless, there's no need for a gas line, electricity, or a chimney, allowing for a hassle-free installation. Safety is our utmost priority, so consult our manual for minimum room size requirements and clearance recommendations for our ethanol fireplaces.

How to Install a TV or AV Equipment Above an Ethanol Fireplace?

If you wish to position a TV above your ethanol fireplace, it’s essential to protect it from heat. You have three effective solutions:

1. Non-Combustible Mantel/Ledge: Create a heat shield for your TV.

2. Recessed Niche: Install the TV within a recessed area.

3. Set Back from Flames: Position the TV away from the level of the flames.

How Long Does It Take to Assemble an Ethanol Fireplace?

The assembly of an EcoSmart fireplace is minimal. Our freestanding fireplaces are designed for quick placement and operation, while fireplace inserts slot easily into place and can be customised with your preferred finish. The most time-consuming part is deciding where to place it—just ensure compliance with our clearance requirements, especially concerning moving objects like curtains or branches.

Do You Offer Installation Services?

While EcoSmart fireplaces are designed for easy installation with clear instructions, you can certainly engage a builder, contractor, or cabinetmaker to assist. Our fire pits and tables are also straightforward to set up independently. For ethanol burners, simply place them in your existing fireplace, close the flue, and you’re set to light your EcoSmart fire!
