Wall-Mounted

Electric fireplaces that are wall-mounted are perfect for those who don't want to have to cut into their walls or frame an opening. These units have 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, though you may need help from a second pair of hands if your fireplace is a bit larger. They are also ideal for those who rent their homes since they can be easily removed when it's time to move and don't create a hole in the wall.

Most electric fireplaces that are wall-mounted can be placed into a wall recess to be flush with the wall for a sleek appearance or to integrate them into the recession partially to add depth. Some models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series come with a trim skirt that can cover the protrusion of the fireplace. You can also alter the appearance of these units by choosing different flame and LED background color settings to match the space you have.

A wall-mounted freestanding electric fireplace takes up a lot of floor space. And because you can't put it into a recess in the wall and it is prone to stand out more than a freestanding model that has a mantel. This is not a major disadvantage and should be taken into consideration when choosing the right type of fireplace for you.

Another benefit of having a wall-mounted electric fireplace is that you can mount it in any room inside of your home. It can be used to create a focal point for your living room, while also adding a touch to the ambiance. It's a great spot to get together with your family and friends. You can even put one in the office or bedroom to create a relaxing space to relax and work.

Mantel

Many of these electrical fireplaces come with a mantel which looks like an open-air fireplace electric that burns wood. They're an excellent choice for those who want the appearance of a fireplace with a built-in design but don't have an architectural change to their home or want the high cost of installing one. They're also safe for kids and pets to be around as they don't emit smoke or flames that could be dangerous for anyone near them.

Certain electric fireplaces with mantels are able to be used without or with heat, allowing you to enjoy the flame effects year-round. If you decide to have them heated it is typical for these models to have a setting that allows you to regulate the amount of heat generated by the fireplace. You can adjust this using a remote control or fireplace inserts Alexa. The best electric fireplaces have the ability to detect when you are in the room, and turns the firebox on/off automatically.

If you have a traditional wood-burning fireplace in your home, but do not use it, you can change it to an electric fireplace. There are different electric fireplace inserts available which look exactly like your fireplace and can be plugged into your existing firebox to instantly transform it into an electric fireplace. We tested a model that looks just like the log grate, and has built-in lighting that creates the appearance of a flame on your walls as well as a heater to provide instant heating for your room. The remote that comes with the unit allows you to manage all settings, including flame intensity, height, ember bed lighting, and heat.

Free-standing electric fireplaces unlike wall-mounted fireplaces, 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 come with stands that can accommodate flat-screen televisions, and are designed to match your home's decor. These are a great option for those who don't want to change their living spaces or don't have enough space in their homes for an acoustic mantel or recessed unit.

They're also a great choice for apartments, because they can be moved when you move to a different unit. Some of them have a less traditional, more modern look than a freestanding fireplace but they still add a lot to the space. They are also simpler to use than wall-mounted units, because you can plug them in and they will start working.

A cabinet-style electric ethanol fire is also a great choice to match the colors of your home.

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

In our testing, we observed the flames to be extremely realistic and the logs shone with a realistic-looking look. The model is also notable due to its simple operation and easy controls: a power button, the heater control as well as an adjustable temperature dial. This dial is beneficial because it allows you to select the settings you prefer without having to mess around with the controls.

This freestanding model is also able to be used without heating. We discovered that the flames could create an attractive glow even when the heater was shut off. You can enjoy the warm and cozy appearance anytime.

This model does not provide the same level warmth that our other choices. This is due to the fact that it uses convection heating instead of radiant. We were able to feel warmth up to 4.5ft away despite this. The unit comes with four different flame effects that can be controlled by remote control. In terms of safety, this model comes with overheat protection and remains cool to the touch on its top which means you can put decorative items on it. It is also CSA Group-certified and has a solid construction that has stood up to the abuse of our testers. This makes it a safe and affordable choice for those who are seeking an electric fireplace freestanding to add to their home.
