Wall-Mounted

When it comes to electric fireplaces wall-mounted options are an excellent option for those looking to put their fireplace in a wall without cutting into the walls or frame an opening. These fireplaces come with mounting brackets that permit you to put the fireplace electric directly onto the wall in the same way as a flat-screen television or picture. You can install them yourself, but you might require a second pair in the event that the model is huge. They are also ideal for those who rent their homes because they are easy to remove when it's time to move them and won't cause a hole on the wall.

The majority of electric fireplaces for wall mounting can be placed into a wall recess so that they are completely flush with the wall for a sleek look or to incorporate them into the recession to add depth. Some models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series come with a trim skirt to cover the protrusion of the firebox. You can also change the models' appearance by selecting different flame and LED background colors to match your decor.

The main downside of a wall-mounted free standing electric fireplace is that it occupies floor space, and because you don't have the option of putting it in the wall the fireplaces tend to be slightly more than the traditional freestanding model that has a mantel. But this is a minor disadvantage and something to keep in mind when deciding on which type of fireplace is best for you.

Another upside of a wall-mounted electric fireplace is that it can be positioned it in any space of your home. This means you can add a touch of atmosphere to your living space while also creating a wonderful focal point and a cozy space for friends and family to gather. You can also mount one in your office or bedroom to create a relaxing atmosphere while you work or relax.

Mantel

A lot of these electric fireplaces come with an attractive mantel that resembles the traditional fireplace stove that burns wood. They're an excellent choice for those who want the appearance of a fireplace built-in but don't have a structural change to their home or need the expense of installing one. They're also safe for children and pets to be around, since they don't release gas or flames that could be dangerous for anyone living near them.

Some electric fireplaces with mantels have the option to be used without or with heat, so you can enjoy the flame effects all year round. If you decide to use them with heat it is typical for these models to have a setting that lets you regulate the amount of heat generated by the fireplace. You can adjust this with a remote control or Alexa. Some of the top-quality electric fireplaces will even have a feature that can sense when you're in the room, and automatically turn the fireplace on or off.

Electric fireplaces are available in various designs, ranging from traditional and rustic to sleek and contemporary. You'll be able to find one that matches your interior design. Some are built with a TV stand in mind, so you can mount your flat-screen TV above it. If you opt for this type of fireplace suites, it's best to select one with a width less or more than the television's height.

If you want to create a more unique appearance, think about using a transparent electric fireplace. This is the only fireplace that lets you look through it into a different room. This is an excellent option for dividing rooms, or if you just want the fireplace insert (click over here) to be the focal point of your living area.

The electric fireplaces are available in different finishes, including white or whiskey maple. Some of these models have an optional built-in shelf you can use to display vases, books or other items of decor. Some models also come with an alarm clock that can be set to shut down the unit after a period of six hours.

Cabinet

You can transform a wood-burning fireplace that you do not use into an electric fireplace. There are various electric fireplace inserts available which look exactly like your fireplace, and can be connected to the existing firebox to turn it into an electric fireplace. We tested a model that looks like a log grate and comes with built-in lights that create an effect similar to the flames on your existing walls. It also features a heater that provides instant heating for the room. The model comes with an adjustable remote that allows you to adjust the flame's height, intensity and ember bed lighting.

They can be moved around in your home, and used with or without a built-in heater. They come with a stand that can hold flat-screen televisions and are specifically designed to fit into your home decor. They are a great choice for those who don't want to permanently change their living rooms or have the space in their homes to install the mantel or recessed units.

They're also ideal for apartments as they can be moved in the event that you move. Some have a more modern, less traditional appearance than a freestanding mantel style, but they can still add a lot of ambiance to any room. They are also easier to operate than wall-mounted units because you just need to plug the unit in and it will start working.

A cabinet-style electric fireplace is also a great choice for matching your home's colors. There are even options to match your flooring and walls so you don't need to paint them. Whatever type of fireplace you select, make sure to pick one that is easy to use and safe for children and pets. It should be easy to clean using a damp rag.

Freestanding

Freestanding electric fireplaces can be set up to stand alone in the room. Some have a base to enhance the look and some are designed to rest atop a flat surface.

It's also ready to use straight out of the package, without any installation required. In addition to low and high temperature settings, it also has a timer you can set via the hidden control panel, or by using the remote.

The model is also notable for its simple controls and easy operation, including an energy switch, a heater control and a temperature dial. This is beneficial because it lets you select the setting you prefer without having to fiddle with the controls on the unit.

Another wonderful feature of this freestanding model is its ability to operate without the heating function. We found that the flames could create an attractive glow even when the heater was off. You can enjoy the warm and cozy appearance anytime.

However, we did discover that this model does not provide the same amount of warmth as some of our other picks. This is due to it using convection instead of radiant heating. We could feel warmth up to 4.5ft away despite this. The temperature settings of this device can be adjusted with the remote control, and it has four different flame effects to choose from. The unit is safe as it comes with an overheat safety system and its top stays cool. You can use it to display your decor items. It is also CSA Group certified and has a sturdy build that held up to the knocks of our testers. This makes it a reliable and affordable choice for those seeking an electric fireplace that is freestanding to enhance their home.
