Choose function and position
Decide whether the appliance is mainly decorative or intended to provide supplementary heat. Check dimensions, ventilation clearances and the manufacturer's mounting instructions.
Assess the electrical connection
A qualified electrician should advise where the appliance's demand or connection requires assessment. Avoid concealing unsuitable extension arrangements inside a built enclosure.
Price the complete installation
Include appliance, supports, enclosure, electrical work and finishing where required. Operating costs depend on power use and tariffs; decorative appearance alone does not indicate energy performance.
