When it comes to electric fireplaces, wall-mounted models are a great option for those looking to install their fireplace without having to cut into the walls or frame an opening. These wooden fireplaces have mounting brackets that permit you to put the fireplace stove directly on the wall like you would a picture or flat-screen TV, and you can typically install it yourself - although you may need help from a second pair of hands if your fireplace suites is a bit larger. They are also ideal for those who rent their homes as they can be easily removed when it's time to move them and won't cause a hole on the wall.

Some models of wall-mounted fireplaces are built flush with the wall to give a clean appearance or to build them in part into the wall for added 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 appearance of these units by selecting different LED and flame color settings to match the space you have.
