It depends! Based on the type of fireplace you’re installing and the specific safety guidelines for the given model, you should be fine mounting or installing electronics above your fireplace. Many gas and electric fireplaces have heat reduction systems that help prevent your wall from absorbing heat. As well, you can install a mantle to stop heat from reaching your TV or entertainment system. You’ll also have to be cautious about the distance between the fireplace and the electronics that you are installing. You must ensure that you’re not installing them too close together.
