The first thing to do is find a location that will work for your fireplace. Take into consideration the style of the room as well as any existing furniture. It's also worth checking if the location is close to a power outlet, or that you're willing to have an electrician move a plug socket for you (if there's one already).

This may involve taking away any decoration or wallpaper and also locating any studs and marking them with a Stud finder (you'll often be asked to have two people hold the fireplace to ensure it's positioned correctly).
