Wall-Mounted

When it comes to electric fireplaces, wall-mounted options are a great option for those looking to mount their unit without having to cut into the walls or frame an opening. These units are equipped with mounting brackets that permit you to put the fireplace directly onto the wall, just like a flat-screen TV or picture. They can be installed yourself, but you might require a second pair in the event that the model is large. These fireplaces are also ideal for those who rent their home because they can be easily removed when it's time for you to move. They don't even leave a hole in the wall.

Most wall-mounted electric fireplaces can be built into a wall recession so that they are completely flush with the wall to give an elegant appearance or to build them into the recession partially to give them a bit of 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 change the models' appearance by selecting different flame and background colors to match 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, they tend to stick out more than an ordinary freestanding model with mantel. But this is a minor drawback and an important thing to take into consideration when deciding which kind of fireplace is best for you.

A wall-mounted electric fire can be positioned in any room of your home. You can create a focal point for your living room and also add a touch to the ambiance. It's a great space to get together with your family and fireplaces wood friends. You can even mount one in your bedroom or office to create a warm and inviting environment while you relax or work.

Mantel

Many of these electrical fire places have an attractive mantel that resembles the appearance of a fireplace with wood burning. They're an excellent choice for those who want the appearance of a fireplace with a built-in design but don't need a structural change to their home or want to pay the price of installing one. They're also safe for kids and pets to be around as they don't release smoke or flames that could be dangerous for anyone living near them.

You can use some electric fireplaces with mantels with or without heat. This lets you enjoy the effects of flames all year round. They usually have a setting to control the amount of heat generated by the firebox if you choose to use them as heaters. You can adjust this using a remote control or Alexa. Some of the top-quality electric fireplaces will even have a feature that can sense when you're in the room and automatically turn the firebox on or off.

These electric wooden fireplaces come in various designs, ranging from rustic and traditional to sleek and contemporary. You'll surely find one to match your interior design. Some are built with TV stands in mind, which means you can put your flat-screen TV above it. If you opt for this type of fireplace, it's best to select one with a width that is smaller or similar to the television's height.

If you want to create a distinctive look, consider going with a see-through electric fireplace. It is the only fireplace that allows you to see through it and into another room. It's a great choice for dividing rooms within your home, or even for those who want to let the fireplace be the centerpiece of your living space.

These electric fireplaces come in various finishes, including White Fireplace and whiskey maple. Some of these models have an optional built-in shelf you can use to display books, vases, or other decorative items.

Cabinet

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 various electric fireplace inserts available that look just like your fireplace, and can be connected to the existing firebox to transform it into an electric fireplace. We tested a model which looks like a log grates and comes with built-in lights that create an appearance similar to an actual flame on your walls. It also comes with a heater that instantly provides heating for the room. The model is equipped with the ability to control the remote with a remote that allows you to adjust all settings, including flame intensity, height, and the ember bed lighting.

In contrast to wall fireplace-mounted units 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 needed and can be used with or without the built-in heater. They come with a stand that can hold flat-screen televisions, and are designed to match your home 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 enough space in their homes for the mantel or recessed units.

They're also ideal for apartments as they can be moved if you move. Some of them have a less traditional, more modern appearance than a freestanding fireplace but can still make a huge difference to a room. They are also simpler to use than wall-mounted units since you can plug them in and they'll start working.

Another benefit of a cabinet-style electric fireplace is that it's easy to find one that matches your home's color scheme. There are also options to match your flooring and walls so you don't have to paint them. Choose a fireplace that's simple to use and safe for children as well as pets. It is also easy to keep clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth.

Freestanding

As the name suggests Freestanding electric fireplaces are able to stand freely in a room. Some come with a base to enhance the look and some are designed to rest atop the surface of a flat surface.

The Costway 20-inch Freestanding Electric Fireplace is one of the top choices. It features a sleek and rounded design, which received high marks during testing for its attractive appearance. It's also ready to use right from the package, without any installation required. It has low and high temperature settings, and an adjustable timer that you can set using the hidden control panel.

During testing, we found the flames to be particularly realistic and the logs shone with a look that was reminiscent of real fire. The model is also notable for its ease of use and easy controls which include a power button the heater control as well as a temperature dial. This dial is useful since it lets you select your preferred setting, without having to mess around with the controls.

Another excellent feature of this freestanding model is the ability to run without heating. In fact, we discovered that the flames could produce a lovely ambient glow even when the heater is turned off. This lets you take advantage of its warm and cozy look at any time of the year.

However, we did discover that this particular model doesn't offer the same level of warmth as our other options. This is due to the fact that the heating method is convection, not radiant. We could feel warmth as far as 4.5ft away, despite this. The temperature settings on this device can be adjusted with the remote control, and there are four different flame effects to choose from. The unit is safe as it comes with an overheat safety system, and its top is cool. You can use it to display decor items. It is also CSA Group certified and has an extremely sturdy construction that stood up to the knocks of our testers. This makes it an affordable and secure option for those looking to add an outdoor fireplace to their home.
