The first step to install an electric fireplace is to determine the location you'd like it to go.

The majority of electric fires can be mounted in a wall opening to create a built in or built-in electric insert.

If you're going to be installing a built-in, we suggest hiring an electrician to wire the unit to your home's electrical network.
Once you've determined where to place your electric fireplace and you've decided on the location, it's time to begin the installation process. A lot of models come with a template that can be used to mark the location of mounting brackets on the wall. If your fireplace does not have templates then you can use a spirit-level or pencil to mark an even line on the wall where the brackets will be placed.
After marking the location after marking the spot, measure and cut pieces of drywall that will fit into the opening. If you're converting an existing fireplace, you'll have to patch the wall before installing the drywall. You can also build a custom mantel and hearth to replace the existing wood frame.
If you have an electric fireplace that is built-in, the back of the unit will have slots or holes to connect with the slots or holes on your mounting brackets. Some units have a power cable that you'll need to connect to the wall, plug into an outlet. If you don't wish to move the plug socket, you can consider the possibility of tackable or painted power cord covers to create a clean appearance.
