Utilize a stud-finder to find the studs and place each bracket in front at least one stud to ensure stability. If a stud is not reached or is not suitable for your fireplace, use drywall anchors as a support.

These models can be utilized in bedrooms, where adding fireplaces is a cost-effective option to warm a room and maintain privacy.

While plug-in electric fireplaces don't require a hardwire like traditional fireplaces, they must be positioned on a wall that is at a minimum not stud-free and is able to support the weight of the fireplace.
