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.

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.

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.
