Wall-Mounted

When it comes to electric fireplaces, wall-mounted options are an excellent option for those who wish to install their fireplace without cutting into the walls or frame an opening. These fireplaces have mounting brackets that permit you to mount the fireplace directly on the wall just like an LCD or picture, and you can typically install it yourself, although you might need assistance from a second pair hands if your fireplace is on the larger side. They are also great for those who rent their home because they are easily removed when it's time for you to move. They don't leave a hole in the wall.

Most models of wall-mounted electric wooden fireplaces can be installed into a wall recession to be flush with the wall for an elegant appearance, or you can opt to integrate them into the recession in part for some added 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 customize the appearance of these units by selecting different LED background and flame colors to fit the space you have.

The biggest drawback to a wall-mounted free standing electric fireplace is that it takes up the floor space, and since there is no option to mount it into the wall the fireplaces tend to extend more than an ordinary freestanding model with mantel. This is not a major disadvantage and should be considered when choosing the best kind of fireplace for you.

Another benefit of a wall-mounted electric fireplace is that you can mount it in any room of your home. This means you can add a little of atmosphere to your living space as well as creating a great focal point and providing an inviting space for family and friends to gather.

There are electric fireplaces with mantels that come with or without heating. This allows you to enjoy the flame effects all year round.

Some of the top-quality electric fireplaces come with a feature that can sense when you're in the room and automatically turn the firebox on or off.

Electric fireplaces are available in various styles, from traditional and rustic to modern and simple. You're sure find one that will complement your interior design. Some are designed with the TV stand in mind, so you can mount your flat-screen TV above it. If you choose this type of fireplace, it is recommended to choose one with a width less or more than your television's height.

If you're looking to create a more unique style, you should consider a see-through electric fireplace. This is the only type of electric fireplace that allows you to look through it into another room. It's a great option to divide rooms in your house or just when you want to make the fireplace be the center of your living space.

Cabinet

It is possible to convert an existing wood-burning fireplace you don't use into an electrical fireplace. There are various electric fireplace inserts available that look like your fireplace, and they can be plugged into your existing firebox to instantly turn it into an electric fireplace. We tried a model that looks like a log grate and features built-in lighting that creates an effect of flames on the walls you already have, and heaters that provide instant warmth to the room. The unit comes with the ability to control the remote with a remote that lets you adjust all settings including flame intensity, height, and ember bed lighting.

Freestanding electric fireplaces, unlike wall-mounted ones, are portable and don't require permanent installation or mounting brackets. They can be moved anywhere within your home and utilized with or without a heater built-in. They also come with a stand to hold flat-screen TVs, and are designed to blend with your decor. These are a great option for those who don't want to make a permanent change to their living spaces or don't have the space in their homes for the mantel or recessed units.

They are also great for apartments as they can be moved when you move. Some models have a modern more contemporary appearance than a freestanding mantel, but they can still bring a sense of style to any room. They are also simpler to operate than a wall mounted unit, as you can simply plug the unit in and it will begin working.

Another benefit of a cabinet-style electric fireplace is that it's easy to find one that is compatible with your home's color scheme. There are also options that match the hues of your floors and walls to ensure that you don't need to paint them over. Choose a fireplace that is easy to use, and safe for children as well as pets. It should be simple to clean with a damp rag.

Freestanding

Like the name suggests Freestanding electric fireplaces wood are able to be placed in any room. Some have an element of base that enhances the look and some are designed to sit on top of a flat surface.

The Costway 20-inch Freestanding Electric Fireplace is one of the top selections. It features an elegant and round design, which received high scores during tests for its appealing appearance. It also comes fully functional straight from the box, with no assembly required. It has low and high temperature settings, and the ability to set a timer through the hidden control panel.

During testing, we found the flames to be particularly realistic and the logs sparkled with a look that was reminiscent of real ethanol fire. This model is also noted for its simple controls and simple operation: a power switch, a heater control, and a temperature dial. This dial is beneficial since it lets you choose the setting you prefer, without having to fiddle with the controls.

This freestanding model also has the capability to be used with no heating. We found that the flames could produce a lovely glow even when the heater was off. This lets you take advantage of its warm and cozy appearance throughout the year.

However, we did find that this particular model doesn't offer the same level of warmth as our other picks. This is due to it using convection rather than radiant heating. Despite this, we were still able to feel the warmth up to 4.5 feet away. This unit has four different flame effects, and can be controlled via remote control. The unit is safe as it comes with an overheat safety system and its top stays cool. It can be used to display your decor objects. It is also CSA Group certified and has a sturdy build that held up to the abuse of our test subjects. This makes it an affordable and safe option for those looking to build an outdoor fireplace to their home.
