Free Standing Electric Fireplaces

You don't need to drill holes into your wall for a free-standing unit. Mounting brackets are typically included with the product and the specifications will let you know the distance between them.

This CSA-certified fireplace comes with four heat settings as well as a display top with plenty of space. It also features a cool to the touch exterior. It also has overheat protection and an automatic shut-off.

Wall-Mounted

When it comes to electric fireplaces, wall-mounted options are a great choice for those who want to install their fireplace without cutting into the walls or frame an opening. These units are equipped with mounting brackets that allow you to mount the fireplace directly on a wall just like a flat-screen television or picture. You can install them yourself, but you may require a second pair in the event that the model is large. They're also great for those who rent their homes as they are easy to remove when it comes time to move, and they don't create a hole in the wall.

Some models of wall-mounted fireplaces can be constructed flush into the wall to give a sleek appearance, or you can choose to incorporate them into the wall recession to add depth. Certain models, such as the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series come with a trim skirt that can cover the protrusion of the firebox. You can also alter the look of these units by selecting different LED background and flame color settings to match your decor.

The main downside of a wall-mounted, freestanding electric fireplace is that it takes up the floor space, and since there is no option to mount it into a wall recession, they tend to extend a bit further than the traditional freestanding model that has a mantel. This is a minor disadvantage and should be taken into consideration when choosing the right type of ethanol fireplace for your needs.

A wall-mounted electric fireplace can be mounted in any room in your home. This means you can add a little of atmosphere to your living space while also creating a wonderful focal point, and a warm place for your family and friends to gather together. You can also mount one in your bedroom or office for a comfortable atmosphere while you relax and work.

Mantel

A majority of these stone fireplaces come with an attractive mantel that resembles a traditional wood-burning fireplace. Electric fireplaces are a great choice for those who want to look like an in-built fireplace but don't need to make structural changes to their home or incur the high cost of installing one. They are also suitable for pets and children, as they do not emit smoke or flames which could pose danger to your family.

You can utilize some electric fireplaces with mantels with or without heating. This allows you to enjoy the flame effects all year long. They usually include a setting that controls the heat produced by the fireplace insert if you opt to use them as heaters. You can typically adjust this with an remote control, Alexa, or a smartphone app. Some of the top-quality electric fireplaces will even have a feature that can sense when you are in the room and automatically turn the fireplace on or off.

These electric fireplaces come in various styles, from rustic and traditional to modern and simple. You'll surely find one that will complement your interior design. Certain electric fireplaces are designed to be mounted above a flat-screen TV. If you decide to choose this kind of fireplace you should select one with the same width or the same or less than the height of your TV.

If you're looking to create a unique look, consider going with an electric fireplace that can be seen through. This is the only type of electric fireplace available that allows you to see through it into a different space. This is an excellent option for dividing rooms or when you want your fireplace to be the main focal element of your living space.

You can find these electric fireplaces with mantels with a variety of finishes, including white fireplace or whiskey maple. Some models have an additional built-in shelf can be used to display books, vases or other items of decor. Some models also include an automatic timer that can be set to shut down the unit after six hours.

Cabinet

It is possible to convert the wood-burning fireplace you do not use into an electric fireplace. There are different electric fireplace inserts available which look exactly like your fireplace, and they can be connected to the existing firebox to transform it into an electric fireplace. We tried a model that looks like a log grate and features built-in lights that create the appearance of a flame on your existing walls, and heaters that provide instant heating for your room. The model is equipped with the ability to control the remote with a remote that lets you adjust all settings, including flame intensity, height and the 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 come with a stand that can hold flat-screen televisions and are specifically designed to fit into your home's decor. These are great options for those who do not need to change their living rooms or don't have enough space for a mantel unit or recessed unit.

They're also a good option for apartments as they can be moved if you move to a different unit. Some have a more contemporary style, and less traditional look than a freestanding mantel, but they can still add a lot of ambiance to any room. These units are also easier to utilize than wall-mounted units because you can plug them in and they'll begin working.

Another benefit of a cabinet-style electric fireplace is that it's easy to find one that fits your home's color scheme. There are even options that are matched to the colors of your walls and floors to ensure that you don't need to paint them. Whatever type of fireplace you pick, make sure to pick one that's easy to use and safe for children and pets. It is also easy to clean by simply cleaning it with a damp cloth.

Freestanding

As the name implies, freestanding electric fireplaces can stand freely in a room. Certain electric fireplaces come with a base to improve their appearance, while others sit on a flat surface.

The Costway 20-Inch Freestanding Electric Fireplace is one of the top selections. It has a sleek and rounded style, and received top marks in tests for its attractive design. It's also ready to use straight from the box, with no assembly required. It has high and low temperature settings, and a timer you can set using the hidden control panel.

During our testing the flames looked realistic, and the logs were adorned with the appearance of real fire. The model is also notable due to its simple operation and easy controls that include a power button, the heater control and the temperature dial. This is useful because it lets you select the setting you prefer without having to juggle the controls on the unit.

Another excellent aspect of this freestanding model is its ability to operate without the heating function. In fact, we discovered that the flames could produce a lovely ambient glow even when the heater is off. This lets you enjoy its warm and cozy appearance throughout the year.

However, we did discover that this model does not deliver the same level of warmth as some of our other picks. The reason for this is because the heating method is convection and not radiant. We were able to feel warmth up to 4.5ft away, despite this. The unit has four distinct flame effects, and can be controlled via remote control. In terms of safety, this model is protected against overheating and remains cool to the top of its surface, so you can display decorations on it. It is also CSA Group certified and has solid construction that has stood against the pounding of our test subjects. This makes it a reliable and affordable choice for those seeking an electric fireplace that is freestanding to complement their home.
