Which Fireplace Is Right for Your Space?

Should You Choose Electric, Gas or Wood?

  • Electric — Easy installation with no venting required
  • Gas — Realistic flames with stronger heat output
  • Wood — Traditional fire experience and natural warmth

Do You Need a Built In, Insert or Wall Mounted Fireplace?

  • Built in — Will have to carve out new framing to create a seamless install
  • Insert — Fits into an existing fireplace and then has surround to cover gaps
  • Wall mounted — mount on wall with provided wall mounting

What Size Fireplace Will Fit Your Space?

  • Measure the available wall, opening or framed space
  • Compare overall, viewing and framing dimensions
  • Leave the required clearances around the fireplace

How Much Heat Does Your Room Need?

  • Compare BTU output or advertised heating coverage
  • Decide whether you want ambiance or supplemental heat
  • Larger rooms may require a higher-output fireplace

What Flame Style Best Matches Your Room?

  • Traditional logs provide a classic fireplace appearance
  • Glass media creates a cleaner, more contemporary look
  • Adjustable flame colors and lighting add customization

Are You Mounting a TV Above the Fireplace?

  • Check the required mantel and television clearances
  • Look for heat-management or cool-touch options
  • Confirm finishing-material requirements before framing

What Venting, Power or Utilities Are Required?

  • Confirm the vent type, gas connection or electrical service
  • Check voltage, amperage and dedicated-circuit requirements
  • Review the installation manual before framing begins
