Our electric fireplaces come in three main styles, each suited to different rooms and layouts.
Wall-mounted electric fireplaces
See the rangeWall-mounted electric fireplaces give you a modern look without taking up floor space. Fixed directly to the wall, they suit living rooms, open-plan areas, and smaller spaces where every bit of room counts. Simple controls and adjustable heat add warmth and eye-catching detail without major installation work.
Built-in electric fireplaces
See the rangeBuilt-in electric fireplaces are designed to sit flush within a wall or feature surround. They’re commonly used in media walls or bespoke fireplace builds, creating a clean, seamless finish. This option works well if you’re planning a larger room update and want the fireplace to feel like a natural part of the space rather than an add-on.

How does our Wigan electric fire installation work?
Our electric fire installations in Wigan run in four stages, from first consultation to aftercare.
1. Free consultation & space assessment
We look at your room size, layout, and how you want the space to feel. You’ll get clear advice on suitable modern electric fires, expected heat output, and design options that work for your living space. This is your chance to ask questions, compare ideas, and explore what’s possible before making any decisions.
2. Design and product recommendation
Once we understand your space, we recommend electric fires that fit your style and needs, whether that’s wall-mounted designs or built-in options for media walls. Our recommendations are based on how you use your room, not a one-size-fits-all approach. You’ll receive a straightforward quote, with no hidden extras.
3. Installation or supply-only option
You can choose full installation or a supply-only service. If you go for installation, our qualified team fits your electric fire safely, making sure everything is set up correctly and ready to use. If you prefer supply-only, we’ll still provide advice and support so you feel confident with your setup.
4. Aftercare & warranty
Our service doesn’t end once your fire is installed. Electric fires are low maintenance, but you’re still covered with manufacturer warranties and our own service guarantees. If you have questions later or need support, our team is easy to reach and happy to help.
How do we keep electric fireplace installations in Wigan safe?
Every installation is carried out by qualified installers, with safety checks before, during, and after fitting. We work to Part P of the Building Regulations and to manufacturer guidelines so your fireplace performs as it should and your warranty stays valid.
What our certified electric fireplace installations in Wigan cover:
- Safe electrical connections and power supply checks
