I recently bought a freestanding electric fireplace stove to help heat my home without always needing to rely on the central heating. It also provides a calming view of a fire when I don’t want the hassle of making a real fire in our open fireplace.

To show you what to expect when buying a freestanding electric fireplace and to give you an idea of what kind of assembly may be required, I’ve put this guide together to explain:

  • How to put together an electric fireplace.
  • How to setup an electric fireplace.

I made sure to document every step I took to put my electric fireplace together and set it up in my home. I’ve therefore used my own fireplace as an example throughout this article to help you further understand what is required to assemble and setup a typical freestanding electric fireplace.
