Fireplaces symbolize a feeling of home and warmth, which makes them a focal point for any living space. Interior designers, architects, and electric fireplace enthusiasts build their favorite features in a home around this centerpiece.
While a MagikFlame electric fireplace typically makes a statement on its own, consider the mantel as a blank canvas to highlight personality and design style.
As you may know, the innovation and advancement of electric fireplaces mimic a wood-burning or gas fireplace without the mess or hassle. These specialty retail products offer a level of heat control that a traditional fireplace or combustible fireplaces struggle to provide.
When attempting to manage or operate them, many manufacturers include a remote control. Be sure to consult the owner’s manual for the on/off switch, thermostat location, and control knob to ensure an ideal temperature.
Below, we’ll share how to go about styling a mantel, then starting an electric fireplace for the complete setup. As we go through each step, remember that we are trying to showcase the room for the best ambiance and personal flair that reflects who you are and what you love.
How to turn on an electric fireplace
The mantel decoration steps above have assisted with decorating and personalizing the space. Now, let’s consider the actual fireplace as the grand centerpiece of any den, family room or living space that brings the design together in a welcoming way.
As we know, a modern electric fireplace is an excellent and popular alternative if you are looking to add a unique, warm, and cozy feeling to your living room – yet, how should you turn on an electric fireplace?
In general, most fireplaces come with a remote control. Check the front functionality of the remote. Some remotes simply control the on/off function. The better remotes control heat, levels of flame, and the on/off switch – the better it is for the user. More advanced electric fireplaces such as MagikFlame, include Bluetooth technology using a smartphone app. It eliminates the need for multiple remotes for individual or basic purposes. The combined iPhone app is your one-stop solution for all functionality.
Additionally, the MagikFlame electric fireplace operates with a back-lit touchscreen for ease of control, which is easy to use even in dimly-lit environments. Please see our electric fireplace buying guide for more detailed information about various manufacturers, features and benefits. Also, consider our cost calculator tool to better understand the impact on your utility bill if you buy a MagikFlame electric fireplace.
Usually, remote controls won’t function properly without the fireplace plugged into an electrical outlet or power supply. Use a wall switch to manually activate the unit – ensure it is in the ‘on’ position before attempting any remote or app operation.
Also, consider other important factors such as: does the unit require a control panel, extension cord, and LED light for real flames? This could impact turning on the firebox and enjoying the flame effect. Consider Angie’s List (now Angi) for ratings and reviews of qualified and professional contractors and certified electricians.
Remember, it’s easier to turn on an electric fireplace than a gas fireplace (using natural gas). There is no igniter, no pilot light or gas valve to turn or gas line to maintain. Simply ensure the heat setting is to your ideal room temperature in the initial setup for the heat source or electric fireplace — use the remote or smartphone app to power on/off.
How to style an electric fireplace mantel
MagikFlame has various mantel styles such as modern and classic. The alpine white color and elegant finish is ideal for decorating and blending with any living space. The steps below are sophisticated considerations as you design and decorate.
Anchor – An anchor piece is a large object like artwork, a mirror, or a wreath that functions as the focal point. We suggest starting with the anchor and building out the look from there. The anchor could become a barrier to viewing your favorite tv show. If you think a flat-screen TV should be mounted above the mantel, then do it. Therefore, the anchor could actually be your wall-mounted tv.
Add Height – Introduce design details that have varying heights. Stacked books and mini flowers can create visual interest on the mantel. The flowers usually have a small clay or porcelain pot that could be used as a bookend.
Layering – If you decide not to have a TV mounted above the mantel, then the anchor piece such as a vase or candlestick could be used. If it’s dominating the mantel, layer other visually interesting details like family photos or artwork to diversify the space.
Before You Install Your Electric Fireplace
Before installing your electric fireplace you need to know how to set up an electric fireplace or make sure that you choose a location in your home close to an electric outlet or have a new one installed where you want your fireplace.
If you already have a mantle or an existing fireplace that you are converting, make sure to measure the area so that you know that your new fireplace will fit or can make adjustments as necessary.
Clean the area thoroughly where you will be installing your fireplace and give yourself plenty of room.
Unboxing Your Electric Fireplace
Set your box down where you will be installing your fireplace before unboxing it to make it easier and to keep all the equipment organized.
After you open your box, carefully pull it out and find the instruction manual. Make sure that you have all the components that were listed. Before you begin, thoroughly read the instruction manual that comes with your fireplace so that you don’t have any problems.
Where To Plug In Your Electric Fireplace
You can plug your fireplace into any standard electrical socket. You will usually want to make sure that there is one present at the location of your fireplace. An extension cord can be used if needed and you have other furniture or objects that will easily hide the unsightly cord. If you need to have an electrician to install a new outlet, let them know it is for an electric-style fireplace and you want to make sure the outlet isn’t visible after installation.
How To Set Up Electric Fireplace Units
Luckily, electric fireplaces pretty much work right out of the box. If you have a mantel unit, position the fireplace under the mantel against the wall and make sure everything fits snugly and securely. If you have one of the fireplace inserts, follow the instructions to make it properly fit in your existing open hearth or other fireplaces.
Once in place, simply plug it in and turn it on and it should begin working.
How To Set Up Electric Fireplace Flame and Sound Effects
If you have a smartphone app to run your fireplace like MagikFlame offers, simply download the app and pair the fireplace with your phone using Bluetooth. After it is paired, open the app and you will clearly see large graphic buttons for the different options. The app is fairly intuitive. You can turn the fireplace on or off, toggle the temperature settings, change the fire effects, and change the sound effects.
What Do You Need To Do When You First Get Your Electric Fireplace?
As soon as you get it, there are some steps that you need to follow to ensure that it is properly set up. Make sure that you follow the instructions that are laid out in the manual of the specific product that you have chosen, which is the best way to learn how to operate an electric fireplace.
If you are in doubt about anything, make sure that you contact the manufacturer for guidance before you make any consequential changes. Most electric fireplace manufacturers offer customer support over the phone. If you choose MagikFlame, you can count on our VIP customer service representatives to provide detailed answers to any questions that you have. Each electric fireplace is somewhat different with regard to the process of setting it up and using it. Most electric fireplaces require you to find a suitable location, ensure proper ventilation, and connect to a power source. However, there are some things that are common to most, if not all products:
How To Properly Set It Up
-
Make sure that you thoroughly read the setup instructions in the instruction manual. Not only will this help to ensure that you’re able to get your new fireplace working as soon as possible, but it will also help to ensure that it lasts as long as possible.
While the instructions vary considerably from one electric fireplace to another, there are several things that are common to all products. For instance, you’ll need to make sure that you ensure that all parts of an extension cord that brings power to the device are properly connected.
Otherwise, electricity will not be able to reach your fireplace. Also, you’ll want to make sure that you put it in a place where moisture will not get on the cord or coils. This could present an electrical hazard.
If you are setting up a wall mount fireplace, there are some unique considerations to keep in mind. People who have a significant amount of workmanship skills may be easily able to set up this type of product themselves. However, you’ll need to make sure that you’re careful to not damage any wires or pipes when you are cutting into the wall.
Also, make sure that you follow the instructions carefully when you are connecting the cord to the fireplace. The heating coil warms the air internally, and then the warmed air is released back into the room through a fan, providing supplemental heating. Proper setup is crucial to avoid hazards. This will ensure that you are able to properly turn the device on and off, and it will also prevent the risk of fire or electrical problems.
Make sure that you thoroughly test the fireplace by turning it on and off several times after you set it up. This will help to ensure that the setup worked. If you have any difficulties at this point, consider calling customer service if you’re unsure how to get your new electric fireplace working.
Ensure that you do not place any objects in front of vents, which will prevent the air intake or blower from being blocked. Aside from this, you can choose to decorate the room with anything that you’d like, such as throw rugs, drapery, couches, ottomans, love seats, and a TV on a stand. You can use carpet, wood, or any other type of flooring in the room where you’re setting up the fireplace.
Tips On How To Operate An Electric Fireplace
- You’ll need to be able to know how to properly use the remote, and you can do this by reading the instruction manual that you receive from the manufacturer.
- You’ll need to understand what each of the buttons and switches on the fireplace itself does, and you can also do this by reading the instruction manual.
- You’ll need to familiarize yourself with each of the flame settings. Sometimes, you can get a good idea of what it will look like by viewing the manufacturer’s flame gallery. However, it’s best to try out each setting for yourself to learn what it looks like, which can allow you to pick out the right flame for the ambiance you want to create.
- Familiarize yourself with the heat settings that the electric fireplace you’re considering offers. Know how to change this setting on both the remote and on the fireplace itself, and you’ll be able to set the right temperature for your room with ease. The heating element in the electric fireplace generates warmth by converting electrical energy into heat, which is then distributed into the room. Additionally, some electric fireplaces use infrared technology to directly heat objects within the room, providing efficient supplemental heating without the mess, fumes, or dangerous gas.
How To Operate An Electric Fireplace With Numerous Settings
If you’re like most customers, you’re probably wondering how to operate an electric fireplace that has numerous settings. Luckily, the answer to that question is simpler than you might expect. The remote on each product will be a bit different. However, there are typically separate buttons to change the flame settings and the heat settings. In some cases, these are the only two types of settings that you can change. However, many other products allow you to change the height, depth, and width of the flame.
Furthermore, you’ll often find buttons that are designed to change the type of flame display that you will see. For instance, you may be able to choose from a simulated wood fire, gas flame, or even a brush fire. Unlike gas fireplaces, electric fireplaces offer more versatile control options, allowing users to easily adjust heat and flame effects. In addition, some products offer buttons on the remote that allow you to change the sound and scent that the fireplace puts out.
This can play a key role in the experience that you have with it, and it can make for a much more realistic flame experience. These settings are available on both space heaters and wall mounted fireplaces. However, you’ll only find sound and scent settings on a truly high-quality electric fireplace. Many products only offer visual flames and not the sound or scent of a firebox that burns wood or gas.
How Do The Settings Differ Between Different Types Of Electric Fireplaces?
There are multiple types of electric fireplaces to choose from, which include ones with a holographic display and ones with a conventional LED display. The complexity of the patterns of lights used to create the simulated flames varies significantly from one product to another. Furthermore, the number of settings that are available varies considerably. Different types of electric fireplaces use various heating elements, such as heating coils and infrared technology, to provide supplemental heating without the mess, fumes, or dangerous gas.
Can You Turn On an Electric Fireplace Without a Remote?
You probably might be asking yourself this, Can I turn on my electric fireplace without a remote? Some models are available with a remote, while others do not have one. Remote controls are not functional when their batteries run out or they are broken. Perhaps you have just lost the remote control. It is essential to know how to operate the fireplace without a remote control in these cases.
Locate the fireplace’s controls and turn the fireplace and the flame on. Some controls are used to determine and set the electric fireplace’s heat setting, such as low heat, medium heat, and high heat. Always refer to the user manual for specific instructions on operating the fireplace without a remote.
If there is a thermostat dial on the fireplace, it should be set above the room’s current temperature. Setting it below means that the heater will not turn on as it does not match the surrounding temperatures. The thermostat regulates and maintains the heat output to keep the room at the right temperature.
Flame effects can be controlled using the flames switch, which you must turn on if installed differently from the main power switch. You can use the flame dial to control the flame’s brightness or how dim the flames appear. Check the owner’s manual for instructions on using the flames on your specific fireplace model and how to vary them to match your taste.
When turning off the electric fireplace, you should start by turning off the high heat switch followed by the low heat switch. This is followed by turning off the main power switch, which should also turn off the flames.
Then, turn off the switch on the wall and remove the power cable. For safety reasons, always ensure that you turn off the fireplace before unplugging it. Following the correct order when turning off the fireplace is essential as it ensures that all the electrical components are protected from power surges and damage. This ensures the longevity of the fireplace and more years of service due to the proper care of your fireplace. Always refer to your specific fireplace manual for how to properly turn on and turn off your electric fireplace.

Building permits that will be needed will be a lot, and you will spend a lot of time with the installation.
In contrast, an electric fireplace is easy to install and does not have too many restrictions to contend with. Typically, many electric fireboxes will plug into the 120-volt electrical outlet, and hardwiring is not complicated.

You also get to enjoy greater flexibility in the fireplace location, and the corners that you do not use so much in your room can become space for an electric firebox.
Decorating your Home with the Electric Fireplace

Colored themes are available in plenty, and smartphone users get the chance to download new themes and have them installed on their fireplaces. This means that they can customize the fireplace to match the season and look like they would like. Since the firebox and electric fireplaces allow for all these customizations, they will be even easier to control your home’s décor with.
The use of an electric fireplace can enhance your home’s decoration.

You can modify the flames to match the home’s mood or the music currently playing in the background. These are easy to accomplish and designed for ease of use, and can be easily tweaked with the powerful controls available to the homeowner.
For instance, you can use the remote-control to transform the theme when it is evening and change the electric fireplace’s appearance to something else when there is still bright daylight in the home. This way, someone that stays in the house does not get dull or bored with the same uniform appearance or look of their home, and with this in place, they will be able to keep their moods up.

The logs can be interchanged using the many that come with the installation setup. Many logs are provided to the user to use when they are upgrading the look and feel of their homes, and with these logs, the look of the fireplace does not stay the same, which means that people feel different every time they are using it. Some electric fireplaces usually have crystals used to transform the flames’ color, and with these, you can significantly improve how your home appears to your family and guests.
Wall-mounted electric fireplaces take up less space and work with television sets installed into the remaining space. The television can be set up in the mantel, and from here, it makes the entertainment center of the home complete.

Setting up your Fireplace to use a Smartphone
Depending on your manufacturer, your fireplace can have the option of using a smartphone. You will use the smartphone to control various aspects of running the electric fireplace and keep track of statistics and other critical measurements. The mobile applications that accompany the fireplace will need to be approved by the manufacturer to work with the fireplace. Compatible apps are an absolute necessity for you to take advantage of your smartphone’s power to improve how you can interact with your electric fireplace. Installing the application is the first procedure and requires that you pay a visit to the app store and search for an application with the fireplace brand name or the manufacturer’s name. This will present a couple of options for apps that you can install and use with the fireplace. Be sure to read through some of the apps’ descriptions to ensure that you get only the application that matters to you and is a perfect match for the fireplace.
On installing the application, you might be asked to create a new account or sign in using the various options provided. These methods make use of accounts you already have, such as your existing social media accounts, to log you into the services. Once you have logged into the application, it will present you with the option for connecting to the fireplace using your local Wi-Fi network or via Bluetooth. Both options take a while to get you fully set up, and once the connection has been established, using the application is made much easier for you. You will be able to view real-time data and statistics from the fireplace while it is in action. You also get the chance to control the fireplace from wherever you are, and with this in place, you can make changes and do much more from the comfort of your mobile device.
