Service · A1 Chimney & Roofing
Electric fireplace installation sets an electric fireplace in a wall, cabinet, or existing opening. The unit makes heat with electricity and does not burn fuel, so it does not use a chimney flue.

The work
The opening, the clearance the manufacturer requires, and the electrical circuit are checked before the unit is set. An electric fireplace cannot be vented like a gas unit and should not be tied into a flue as if it were one. If you are replacing a wood fireplace, the old flue is left safe and closed off rather than abandoned open.
A gas unit is a different installation. A wood-burning insert is fireplace insert installation.
Why it matters
People choose an electric unit where a flue is not practical, or where they want heat and a flame effect without burning wood or gas. The installation stands or falls on the circuit and the clearances, not on a chimney sweep.
The existing chimney, if there is one, is not ignored. An open unused flue still needs a cap so it does not take rain.
What to expect
The location and the circuit are confirmed, the unit and the price are explained, and the work waits for your approval.
