Can I hang a TV above the fireplace? I am concerned as to what direction the heat is emitted.

Don't think enough heat is emitted to matter, in any event the fan blows it away from the unit downward

Yes. Pretty interesting to use for heat distribution with a fan/ ceiling fans near a fireplace too.

Do you mean hang it flush with the wall? I don't think so, unless you have an enclave you can set the unit on. The large glass screen goes in front of the metal heating unit, which is shorter, and has about a 4 or 5 inch thickness, so it will stick out from the wall, if that's what you're talking about.

the mounting supplied is a hook that hangs it in a doorway. That being said I mounted mine in a 6 inch vent space beside my fireplace by simply using the bolts that hold the cover on fan through a bracket. The hardest part I could see with what you want to do is getting the electric run to it.

I dont think it will be a very good idea because of the heat from the fireplace. You can buy the tilt one ( it is mounted closer to the wall than this model). Hope this helps. After install this model, the screen is about 7 inches from the wall.

I have a 60 in plasma ( it's a beast!) and it pulls out straight about a foot. And tilts enough to mount it above the fireplace. With it tilted down at full extension, it can rotate sideways probably 25-30 degrees...plenty enough for metonymy have it on a wall perpendicular to the couch

Generally you do not want a TV hanging over the sides of the cabinet. However; if it is OK with you, than go for it.

We had to cut the pole so it was closer to the ceiling. Our TV is hung above a fireplace and the ceiling it extends through is at the corner of a vaulted room.

That depends on the size of the TV. The unit is sturdy, I have mine on a wall and am not using the corner bracket. I have not noticed the top of the mantle getting hot; however the manufacturer has suggested clearance for sides, top and bottom.

I do not have a tv on the unit, but I do have my wii, dvd player and digital satellite box all on the fireplace. I don't see why a tv (flat screen on stand) couldn't be used there. I wouldn't go any bigger than a 32" though.

I wouldn't use it too close to a fireplace. It is metal and will get hot to the touch.

I don't think so. Our depth was 23" from the back of the opening above the fireplace to the front. We wanted the TV like you want yours. This one gave only a couple extra inches which made it a little diffucult to screw the bolts onto the back of the TV. There wasn't a lot of wiggle room (as some would put it) to work with outside of the opening. Hope you find one that does work for you.

If I am understanding the question. . . I don't think it really matters which way you hang it. We have it mounted under the kitchen cabinet.

It just so happens we had our tv wall mounted above the fireplace and put two nexera cabinets, one on each side, to house the components. Our contractor, who previously worked with sound systems, installed everything with wires in the wall and speakers in the ceiling. Took a little tweaking, but love it. Note: We replaced floating cabinets from Ikea with these cabinets because there was no way for them to cool. These are more open in the back and on hot days we just leave the door open just in case.

I would be concerned about the heat coming out of the top. It may damage the TV.

This item probably gets too hot to the touch to be mounted in such a way. The idea of these things is that it gradually heats the entire room it is in over time (it must be on for a few hours before it becomes effective). So in theory it wouldn't matter where in the room you mounted it the heat would be even everywhere. But supposedly it isn't ideal to mount them in "drafty" parts of the room such as on exterior walls or below windows because the cold drafty air doesn't allow the unit time to heat up the air around it before it gets blown away by the draft.

the cord is on the right of the fireplace; it does show a little because I hang it just above a Love seat in the Master Bedroom so most of the cord is hide by the Loveseat, so my idea; put a piece of furniture underneath your fire place, I hope it works for you
