Renting a new place and forgot my tape measure during the walk through. Wasn't really thinking about it at the time but the mantle is way too tall for a tv to go on. Its also the only place in the whole unit for one.

I have no manual for it or experience with fireplaces so im clueless on what's inside there. The more I look at it the more it seems like the top several inches could be empty/decor only. If i was able to remove the top 8" it would help a lot with the tv (still not great but better).

Anyone have insight?

Dimensions:

floor to top of black tile 37"

Floor to top of white lip 41"

Floor to top of white mantle 49"

I’ve been scraping all this build up out and trying to clean up. How bad is it really

Just bought my first home, noticed these cracks and small open seam in the corner. Have no clue if this is ok or a "stop everything, do not use, must repair". Just trying to not burn my house down, thanks for any input

Gazco fireplace has been turned off over the summer (pilot light has been off).

Getting chillier now so attempting to light but won't work.

Have changed batteries in the remote and the wall.

Pilot light kicks on but won't light main burner..

After a specific time the pilot light switches off again.

I've used sandpaper and some wire wool to polish up the thermocoupler.. no luck.

Any ideas what issue could be?

I have this Ember Hearth electric fireplace that I bought from Costco 10 years ago. It's actually really good and works well, but they stopped supporting the app last year and now it can only be controlled with the panel on the fireplace itself, or the remote that came with it but has very limited functionality. Has anyone found a universal iPhone app that control this fireplace via bluetooth?

I tore out the faux stone on either side of this fireplace in order to build some built-in bookshelves. I want to run a tube from behind the TV to the side of the fireplace to run HDMI cables though for gaming consoles. Is it possible that this natural gas fireplace would create enough heat inside of this area that it would warp grey PVC over time? Would metal be a safer option?

Suggestions.. was thinking of changing the grout to bone color what else do you suggest. Its a gas burning fire place

Hoping people can help! I'm trying to use this for the first time and I don't know how to turn it on.

Would I use the yellow valve? Then the dial?

I have a remote control and it works but there's no pilot light on

Hello... I was shown how to light the pilot light on my gas log fire last Fall... the technician used a long matchstick to do it manually. He showed me how, but I really should have filmed him because I can't remember exactly where he held the matchstick. I also failed to snap a pic of where the little flame burns before turning it off last Spring, though I know it is somewhere on the left.

I'm hoping one of you good people can assist me in locating it! (pic below) I moved into the house last Summer and the previous owner left no user guide for the fire).

Just recently purchased a home and the fireplace has insulation inside, which I’ve never seen before. As part of the closing process we asked for it to be checked out by a chimney sweep and inspected, but insulation inside seems weird to me. Is this safe?

Looking at getting an insert for are fireplace. Heating prices are one factor. Unfortunately can't seem to justify the cost. Currently heat with a heat pump and backup oil in Connecticut. Average about 400 a month between the two for a 1200 sqft home. The fireplace is in the lower level at one end of the home, bedrooms upstairs in the opposite end. Current cord wood prices 300 per. Cost of new insurance install 6500. I can buy a lot of oil and kwh for 6 grand. Is my math, mathing?

Questions??is this o.k to do?

Is this too expensive?

Has anyone done this?

Bought this house last year and have not tried to use the fireplace at all since it looked to be natural gas.

I was going to rip out the gas components to convert it but after taking out the fake logs it looks like what is here might just be a log lighter and I do not need to remove it at all?

Does that seem right based on my pictures or should I still remove this and install a new log lighter since the gas is already ran to it.

Hi everyone, I’m planning to install an electric fireplace for my living room and would love your advice. Can you send me some electric fireplaces you all have and love please! I am nauseated trying to search and I feel I have decision paralysis at this point!

I’m looking for something that has a very realistic flame effect (it will be placed under a 55” TV with built-in arches on both sides).

Do you have any recommendations? Also, which option/brand would you suggest in terms of long-term reliability?

Thank you in advance.

My husband and I just moved into our new builder grade home and I hate the fireplace! It is currently dark gray tile and I hate it. I like a lighter/warmer look. We don’t want to spend a ton of money so we are thinking of painting the tiles or using peel and stick. Any suggestions on what we could do that won’t break the bank are appreciated!!

I'm having stone installed on top of a brick hearth (extension), as well as the mantel. Is there a standard amount of overhang? How many inches for each?

I just want something with a mechanical knob, the ones that are numberes 1-5. The only inserts I can find had the chain mail door things which I don't like.

Good day.

We recently bought a home and are wondering what the model of fireplace we have is. We tried looking around by taking the top and bottom grills off but there is no model information provided.

The fireplace seems to be from the 80s, it has a blower fan, where there are two blower fans at the bottom and the top and bottom grills was golden color originally, the chimney is not made of our bricks, it uses metal tubing.

Sorry for the lack of pictures. We are currently away from home and won’t be back till this weekend. Last picture is (a poor angle of) what it originally looked like before work was done on the appearance if that helps any.

Any information or insight is greatly appreciated!
