Wall-Mounted
Electric fireplaces that are wall-mounted are ideal for those who don't want to cut their walls or frame an opening. These units include mounting brackets that allow you to mount the fireplace directly on the wall, just like a picture or flat-screen TV and, in most cases, you can install it yourself, although you may require assistance from a second pair of hands if your fireplace is a bit larger. They are also great for those who rent their home and can be easily removed when it's time to move. They don't leave a hole in the wall.
Some models of wall-mounted fireplaces are built flush with the wall fires (
like it) to give a sleek appearance, or you can choose to build them partially into the wall recession to give them more depth. Some models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series come with a trim skirt to hide the protrusion from the fireplace. You can also alter the appearance of these units by selecting different LED and flame color settings to match your space.
A wall-mounted freestanding electric fireplace can take up a large amount of floor space. Since you aren't able to put it into an opening in the wall the fireplace tends to stick out more than a freestanding model with a mantel. However, this isn't a major issue and something to consider when deciding which kind of fireplace is right for you.
Another benefit of having a wall-mounted electric fireplace is that you can mount it in any space of your home. This means that you can add a touch of ambiance to your living room while also creating a wonderful focal point and a cozy space for your family and friends to gather. You can also put one in your office or bedroom to create a relaxing atmosphere while you relax and work.
Mantel
A majority of these fireplaces come with an attractive mantel that resembles a traditional fireplace with wood burning. Electric fireplaces are a great choice for those who want to look like an in-built fireplace, but do not want to make structural changes to their home or incur the high cost of installing one. They are also safe for pets and children since they don't emit flames or fumes that could be dangerous.
Some electric
stone fireplaces with mantels can be used without or with heating, allowing you to enjoy the flame effects year-round. They usually include a setting that controls the amount of heat generated by the firebox if you decide to use them as heaters. You can alter this using a remote control or Alexa. Some of the best electric
fireplaces wood come with the ability to detect when you are in the room and automatically turn the fireplace on or off.
Electric fireplaces are available in different designs, ranging from rustic and traditional to modern and simple. You'll be able to find one that will complement your interior design. Some electric fireplaces are made to be placed over a flat-screen television. If you choose to use this kind of fireplace, it's best to choose one with an area that is the same as or smaller than the height of your television.
If you want to create a distinctive look, consider going with a transparent electric fireplace. This is the only
fireplace stove that allows you to look through it and into a different room. This is a great option to divide rooms or when you want the
fireplace insert to be the main focal feature of your living space.
The electric fireplaces are available in different finishes, including white and whiskey maple. Certain models have an additional built-in shelving unit that can be used to display decorative objects like books, vases or other ornamental objects. Some models also have an automatic timer that can be set to shut off the unit after a time period of six hours.
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 different electric fireplaces that look just like your fireplace, and they can be connected to your existing firebox to instantly transform it into an electric fireplace. We tested a model that looks like a log grates and has built-in lights that produce an appearance similar to an actual flame on your walls. It also has an electric heater that can provide instant heat for the space. The remote that comes with the unit allows you to control all settings, including the intensity, height, ember bed lighting, and heating.
Free-standing electric fireplaces unlike wall-mounted fireplaces, are portable and don't require permanent installation or mounting brackets. They can be moved anywhere in your home and used with or without a built-in heater. They come with an adjustable stand that can hold flat-screen televisions, and are designed to match your home decor. These are an excellent option for people who don't want to make a permanent change to their living rooms or have enough space in their homes to install the mantel or recessed units.
They're also a good choice for apartments, because they can be moved when you move to a new unit. Some have a more modern, more modern look than a freestanding fireplace, however, they can bring a lot of value to the space. They are also simpler to use than wall-mounted units, as you can simply plug the unit in and it will start working.
Another benefit of a fireplace that is built like a cabinet is that it's simple to find one that is compatible with your home's color scheme. There are also options that match the colors of your floors and walls and floors, so you don't have to paint them over. Whatever type of
fireplace insert you choose ensure that you choose one that's easy to use and is safe for kids and pets. It should also be easy to keep clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth.
Freestanding
Freestanding electric fireplaces can be set up to stand alone in the room. Some come with an element of base that enhances the appearance, while others are designed to be placed on a flat surface.
The Costway 20-inch Freestanding Electric Fireplace is one of the top selections. It has an elegant and round design that received high marks during testing for its attractive design. It is also ready to use right from the box, with no assembly required. In addition to the low and high temperatures, it comes with an alarm clock that you can set using the hidden control panel, or by using the remote.
In our tests, we discovered the flames to be particularly realistic and the logs sparkled with a realistic-looking look. The model is also notable for its easy controls and easy operation, including the power switch, heater control, and a temperature dial. This dial is helpful because it lets you select the settings you prefer without having to fiddle with the controls.
Another excellent aspect of this freestanding model is that it can operate without heating. We discovered that the flames can produce a lovely glow even when the heater was shut off. You can enjoy the warm and cozy appearance at any time.
However, we did notice that this particular model doesn't deliver the same level of warmth as some of our other choices. 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 unit has four distinct flame effects that can be controlled with a remote control. The unit is safe as it comes with an overheat safety system and the top remains cool. You can use it to display your decor objects. It is also CSA Group certified and is built with a strong structure that held up against the abuse of our testers. This makes it a secure and affordable option for those who are looking for an electric fireplace that is freestanding to add to their home.
