If you're working on an recessed model, you will need to frame the opening. This can be done by cutting two 2x6s one inch shorter than the finished wall and drilling holes in the appropriate locations. After this is completed, you can fit the brackets with L-metal to the wall to hold the fireplace. There are also a number of all-in-one solutions that include both the fire as well as a framework that resembles the mantelpiece. Suites such as the Dimplex Bach and the Celsi Flamonik Rapture can be used as a decorative feature in rooms that do not have the traditional fireplace. Once the frame is in place It's a matter of installing hanging screws into the rawl plugs and connecting the electric fire to these. Some models are designed to be hung directly from the bracket while others require that you make an opening in the wall and create an opening in the wall that is recessed.

You could also select one that runs from a USB power source, so you can use it away from your home, too. It is best to keep your fireplace as near as you can to the closest socket.
