Where to plug in an electric fireplace?

Most electric fireplaces come pre-wired with a 72″ (1.8M) cord and a grounded plug. For planning, see if your electrician prefers the line on the unit’s left or right side.

Depending on circumstances, some fireplaces simply plug into a wall outlet. The only issue with plugging into an existing wall outlet is the possibility of something else on the same circuit and tripping the breaker.

You can avoid this by running a dedicated circuit from the electrical panel that only serves the fireplace. Most installations use a dedicated circuit. We highly recommend it.

Joseph G. Bodden is a Wisconsin native and is semi-retired after 40+ years in marketing, sales and technical customer service work. Over 28 of those years have been in the fireplace industry, many as the Hearth Division Manager in an organization that operates two retail shops. During that time, Bodden was certified by the National Fireplace Institute in wood & gas technologies. He was also selected several times by Hearth & Home magazine as a judge for the annual VESTA awards that recognize manufacturers creativity and innovation in product design and technology. One thing that Joe particularly finds fulfilling is explaining fairly complex subjects to fireplace customers and steering them to specific products that will satisfy their objectives. There’s nothing like unsolicited positive feedback from a happy customer! Bodden lives in the scenic driftless region in southwest Wisconsin with his bride of 48 years. He enjoys the outdoors, playing guitar and spending time with their grandson and five granddaughters.

      Michael: It's difficult to diagnose something like this in this forum, but it sounds like an overloaded circuit. I think it would be in your best interest to seek out a competent electrician to evaluate whats going on.
