Free Standing Electric Fireplaces

There is no need to drill holes into your wall for a free-standing unit. Mounting brackets are typically included in the package and the specifications will inform you how far apart to space them.

Wall-Mounted

Electric fireplaces that can be mounted to the wall are ideal for those who don't want to cut their walls or frame an aperture. These units are equipped with mounting brackets, which allow you to place the fireplace directly on the wall, just like flat-screen televisions or picture. You can install them yourself, but you might require a second pair if the model is large. These fireplaces are also ideal for those who rent their home and can easily be removed when it's time to move. They don't even leave a hole on the wall.

Some models of wall-mounted fireplaces can be constructed flush into the wall to give a sleek appearance, or you can choose to build them in part into the wall recession for added depth. Certain models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series, have an edging skirt that allows you to hide the firebox's protrusion. You can also change the look of these units by selecting different LED and flame colors to fit your decor.

A wall-mounted, freestanding electric fireplace takes up a lot of floor space. Because you can't mount it into a recess in the wall the marble fireplace tends to stick out more than a freestanding one that has mantel. This is a minor drawback and should be taken into consideration when choosing the best kind of fireplace for your needs.

A wall-mounted electric fireplace can be installed in any room in your home. It can be used to create a focal point in your living room, while adding an element of ambiance. It's a great space to gather with family and friends. You can also mount one in your bedroom or office to create a relaxing atmosphere while you unwind and work.

These fireplaces are also safe for pets and children since they don't emit flames or fumes that could be dangerous.

You can use some electric fireplaces with mantels that come with or without heating. This lets you enjoy the effects of flames all year round. If you decide to utilize them with heat, it's common for these models to have a setting that allows you to regulate the amount of heat produced by the firebox. You can adjust this using a remote control or Alexa. Some of the top electric fireplaces have an option that detects when you are in the room, and switches the firebox off or on automatically.

These electric fireplaces come in various styles, ranging from rustic and traditional to modern fireplace and simple. You'll be able to find one that matches your interior design. Some are built with the TV stand in mind, which means you can place your flat-screen television on top of it. If you decide to go with this kind of fireplace, it's ideal to select one that has a width close to or smaller than your television's height.

Consider a fireplace with a view-through if you want a unique appearance. This is the only electric fireplace that allows you to see through it and into another room. This is a great feature for dividing rooms, or for those who want your fireplace to be the main focal point of your living area.

Cabinet

You can transform the wood-burning fireplace you do not use into an electric fireplace suites. Electric fireplace inserts that look like your fireplace can be connected to your existing firebox to instantly transform it into an electric one. We tested a model that appears just like the log grate, and has built in lights that create the appearance of a flame on the walls you already have, as well as heaters that provide instant warmth to the room. The model comes with a remote control which allows you to alter the flame's intensity, height, and the ember bed lighting.

Freestanding 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 also include a stand to hold flat-screen TVs, and are designed to blend with your home's decor. They are a great option for people who do not want to permanently alter their living spaces or do not have enough space for a mantel or recessed unit.

These are also good for apartments since they can be moved if you move. Some have a less traditional, more modern look than a freestanding fireplace, but can still make a huge difference to the space. They are also easier to operate than a wall mounted unit, as you can simply plug the unit into the outlet and it will get started.

Another benefit of a cabinet-style electric fireplace is that it's easy to find one that fits your home's color scheme. There are even options that match the colors of your floors and walls, so that you don't need to paint them. Select a fireplace that is easy to operate and safe for children and pets. It should be easy to clean with a moist rag.

Freestanding

This model does not provide the same level warmth as our other picks. This is because the heating method is convection and not radiant. However we were able to feel the warmth up to 4.5 feet away. The temperature settings on this unit can be adjusted using the remote control, and it comes with four different flame effects that you can choose from. In terms of safety, this unit has overheat protection and stays cool to the top of its hood, so you can display decorations on it.
