Let’s say you are going to install an electric fireplace into a wood or marble dresser. Get every dimension possible on the heater online or in the store. Above the heater, you will need an air vent OR you will need to leave space between the heater and the top of the dresser, about four inches, because the air will blow outwards and up. The heat must not be encased in the dresser or it in nmiwon’t heat your room at all. All of the flames and logslus smoke and ashes and , plus sparks are on a lighting program in an electric fire place. If this is not what you have in mind, keep reading. Lots more answers out there. Best wishes!
If you have the dresser already, remove all the drawers or trim that would block the size of the heater you choose. You may have to remover the countertop of the dresser if the heater is too tall. That’s why it’s so important to measure the heater and the dresser in every dimension. I would rather have the heater offset to one side if that meant I could use one side of drawers. Those fireplaces sure make you feel welcome home.
