Electric Fireplace Installation in Alamo Heights, TX

Plug-in models run off a standard 120 V outlet, but heater-rated inserts and built-in units usually pull enough current to need their own dedicated branch circuit so they don't trip breakers or overload shared wiring. We check your panel capacity first and let you know up front whether running a dedicated circuit is part of the install.

A simple wall-mount or insert that lands on existing power usually takes a few hours. It stretches longer when we're framing a recess into the wall, running a new dedicated circuit, or finishing and trimming around the unit — all of those are install-side work, not something a later repair visit deals with.

The starting price covers fitting or framing the opening, mounting, the electrical hookup, and commissioning. What you pay in the end depends on the type of unit, whether recessing or a new circuit is involved, and any wall finishing. The fireplace unit itself is usually billed separately from the install labor.

Often yes — an electric insert is one of the tidiest ways to give an unused wood-burning firebox a second life, with no venting and no gas involved. We measure the firebox opening and confirm that a safe power source reaches it before recommending a specific insert that will fit and trim out cleanly.

It's worth doing. An open flue you no longer burn through keeps drawing cold air, drafts, and moisture into the house. A lot of homeowners fit a top-sealing damper or cap, or block the flue off, when they switch to electric — and it also claws back the energy that open chimney was quietly bleeding out of the home.

That's the whole design of it. Older homes interconnect in ways separate contractors miss — the chase that carries your original flue often carries duct runs and wiring too, and an uninsulated attic changes how the entire house breathes. We inspect chimney, ducts, dryer vent, and insulation in one pass and write it up as one prioritized report, so you're not reconciling four different opinions.

Maybe — many pre-war flues here are unlined or have cracked clay tiles, and you can't tell from the hearth. A camera inspection settles it in about twenty minutes. If it's sound, we document that and sweep it. If it needs a liner, we price it plainly and tell you what's safe in the meantime, which is sometimes nothing until it's fixed.

Inspection first, always — it sets the sequence. Typically: chimney safety items before burn season, attic air-sealing and insulation in spring or summer when it pairs naturally with duct sealing, and the dryer vent the same day as everything else since it takes the least time. Masonry repairs cure best in warm, dry months, so we slot those accordingly.
