Wall-Mounted
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

When it comes to electric fireplaces, wall-mounted options are an excellent option for those looking to install their fireplace without cutting the walls or frame an opening. These fireplaces come with mounting brackets that permit you to put the fireplace directly on the wall just like a flat-screen or picture TV and, in most cases, you can install it yourself, although you may need help from a second pair hands if your fireplace is larger than the norm. These fireplaces are also ideal for those who rent their home because they can be easily taken down when it's time to move. They don't leave a gap on the wall.

Most wall-mounted electric fireplaces can be placed into a wall recess to be flush with the wall to give a sleek appearance, or you can opt to incorporate them into the recession in part to give them a bit of depth. Certain models, such as the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series come with a trim skirt that can conceal the protrusion from the fireplace. You can also alter these models' appearance by selecting different flame and background colors to complement your decor.

The main downside of a wall-mounted free standing electric fireplace is that it takes up the floor space. Also, since you don't have the option to mount it into the wall the fireplaces tend to stick out a bit further than the traditional freestanding model that has a mantel. This is a minor disadvantage and an important thing to take into consideration when deciding on which type of fireplace is right for you.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Another upside of a wall-mounted electric fireplace is that you can place it in any room inside of your home. This means you can add a bit of ambiance to your living room while also creating an excellent focal point and an inviting space for family and friends to gather. You can also place one in your bedroom or office to create a relaxing atmosphere while you unwind and work.

Mantel

A majority of these fireplaces have an attractive mantel that resembles an old-fashioned wood-burning fireplace. They're a good option for those who prefer the look of a built-in fireplace but don't want to make an architectural change to their home or want to pay the price of installing one. These fireplaces are also safe for pets and children since they don't produce fumes or flames which could pose danger to your family.
|

|
|
||||||
|
Some electric fireplaces with mantels can be used with or without heat, allowing you to enjoy the flame effects year-round. If you decide to have them heated it is typical for these models to come with a setting that allows you to control the amount of heat produced by the fireplace. You can usually adjust this using a remote control, Alexa, or a smartphone app. Some of the top-quality electric fireplaces come with an option that detects when you're in the room and automatically turn the fireplace on or off.

There are electric fireplaces with styles that range from modern and simple to more rustic and traditional You're sure to find one that matches your interior design. Some electric fireplaces are designed to be hung above a flat-screen TV. If you decide to choose this kind of fireplace it is recommended to select a fireplace that has the same width or the same size or less than the height of your television.

If you want to create a more unique style, you should consider a see-through electric fireplace. This is the only kind of electric fireplace that allows you to look through it into a different room. It's a great choice to divide rooms in your house or just if you want to have the fireplace be the centerpiece of your living space.

You can find these electric fireplaces with a mantel with a variety of designs, including white or whiskey maple. Some of these models have an additional built-in shelf can be used to display vases, books or other ornaments.

If you have an old-fashioned wood burning fireplace in your home, but do not use it, you can change it to an electric fireplace. There are various electric fireplace inserts available that look just like your fireplace, and they can be plugged into your existing firebox to transform it into an electric fireplace. We tried a model that looks like the log grate, and has built in lights that create an effect of flames on the walls you already have, as well as heaters that provide instant heating for your room. The model has a remote control that lets you adjust the flame's height, intensity and ember bed lighting.

As opposed to wall-mounted fireplaces and freestanding electric fireplaces, these freestanding electric fireplaces are portable and do not require any permanent installation or mounting brackets. They can be moved around your home as you need and can be used with or without the built in heater. They also come with a stand to hold flat-screen TVs, and are designed to blend with your home decor. They are a great choice for those who don't want to make a permanent change to their living spaces or don't have the space for a mantel or recessed unit.

They are also a good option for apartments because they can be moved when you move to a different unit. Some are more contemporary, with a more modern look than a freestanding fireplace, but can still make a huge difference to a room. These units are also easier to use than wall-mounted units, since you can plug them in and they'll begin working.

|
|
||||||
|
Another benefit of a cabinet-style electric fireplace is that it's simple to find one that matches the colors of your home. There are also options to match your walls and flooring so you don't need to paint them. Regardless of the type of fireplace you choose ensure that you choose one that is easy to use and is safe for kids and pets. It should be easy to clean using a damp rag.

|
|
||||||
|
As the name suggests, freestanding electric fireplaces can be placed in any room. Some electric fireplaces have a base to enhance their appearance, while others rest on a flat surface.

The latter, such as the Costway 20-inch Freestanding Electric Fireplace is among our top choices and has a an elegant, rounded design that has received top scores in tests for its attractive design. It also comes ready to use right out of the box with no assembly needed. In addition to the low and high temperatures, it comes with a timer that you can set on the hidden control panel or through the remote.

During our testing the flames appeared real and the logs exhibited an authentic glow. This model is also noted for its easy controls and simple operation, including a power switch, a thermostat control, and a heater dial. The latter is helpful because it lets you select your preferred setting without having to mess with the controls on the device.

This freestanding model is also able to be used with no heating. We found that the flames could produce beautiful light even when the heater was off. You can take pleasure in the warm and cozy appearance anytime.

This model does not provide the same level warmth that our other choices. This is because it uses convection heating instead of radiant. We were able to feel warmth as far as 4.5ft away, despite this. This unit has four different flame effects and can be controlled by remote control. This unit is safe because it has an overheat protection system and the top remains cool. You can use it to display decor objects. It is also CSA Group certified and has an extremely sturdy construction that stood up to the abuse of our testers. This makes it a secure and affordable option for those who are seeking a freestanding electric fireplace to add to their home.
