Free Standing Electric Fireplaces
With a model that is freestanding, you don't need to make any holes in your walls. Mounting brackets are usually provided with the product, and the specifications will let you know the distance between them.
Besides offering four heat settings, this CSA-certified fireplace has a cool-to-the-touch exterior and a large top for display. It also has overheat protection and an automatic shut-off.
Wall-Mounted
When it comes to electric fireplaces, wall-mounted options are a great option for those looking to install their fireplace without cutting the walls or frame an opening. These fireplaces come with mounting brackets that permit you to hang the fireplace directly on a wall, just like an LCD or picture and, in most cases, you can install it yourself, though you may require assistance by a second pair of hands if your fireplace is larger than the norm. These fireplaces are also ideal for those who rent their home and can be easily taken down when it's time to move. They don't even leave a hole in the wall.
The majority of wall-mounted electric fireplaces can be installed into a wall recession to be flush with the wall for an elegant appearance or to build them into the recession partially to add depth. Some models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series come with a trim skirt to conceal the protrusion from the fireplace. You can also change the look of these units by choosing different LED and flame colors to fit your decor.
The biggest drawback to wall-mounted freestanding electric fireplace is that it occupies the floor space, and since you don't have the option to mount it into the wall the fireplaces tend to extend a bit further than the traditional freestanding model that has a mantel. However, this is a minor drawback and an important thing to take into consideration when deciding on which type of fireplace is the best one for you.
Another benefit of a wall-mounted electric fireplace is that you can mount it in any room inside of your home. This means that you can add a touch of atmosphere to your living space while also creating a wonderful focal point, and a warm place for your family and friends to gather together. You can also put one in your office or bedroom for a comfortable atmosphere while you work or relax.
Mantel
A majority of these fireplaces come with a mantel that looks like a traditional wood-burning fireplace. They're a good option for people who want the look of a built-in fireplace but don't want to make the structural changes needed to their house or want to pay the price of installing one. These fireplaces are also suitable for pets and children since they don't emit smoke or flames which could pose danger to your family.
Some electric fireplaces with mantels are able to be used without or with heating, allowing you to enjoy the flame effects all year long. If you choose to use them with heat it is typical for these models to have a feature that allows you to regulate the amount of heat generated by the fireplace. You can adjust this with the remote control or Alexa. Some of the best electric fireplaces come with an option that detects when you're in the room, and automatically turn the fireplace on or off.
There are electric fireplaces in styles that range from simple and modern to more rustic and traditional, so you're sure to find one that will fit your style. Some electric fireplaces are designed to be mounted above a flat-screen TV. If you decide to go with this kind of fireplace it is recommended to select a fireplace that has an area that is the same or less than the height of your television.
If you're looking to create a more unique style, you should consider a see-through electric fireplace. This is the only kind of electric fireplace available that allows you to see through it into a different room. It's a great choice to divide rooms in your home or for those who want to let the fireplace be the center of your living space.
There are electric fireplaces with mantels with a variety of finishes, including white or whiskey maple. Some of these models have an optional built-in shelf that you can use to display books, vases, or other decorative items. Some models also include 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 convert to an electric fireplace. There are different electric fireplace inserts available that look like your fireplace and can be plugged into your existing firebox to instantly transform it into an electric fireplace. We tested a model which appears like a log-grille and has built-in lights that produce an effect similar to the flames on your existing walls. It also comes with a heater that instantly provides heat for the space. The remote that comes with the unit lets you manage all settings, including flame height, intensity, ember bed lighting and heating.
As opposed to wall-mounted fireplaces and freestanding electric fireplaces, these freestanding electric fireplaces are portable, and don't 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 stands that can accommodate flat-screen televisions, and are designed to match your home's decor. These are a great option for people who don't want to change their living rooms or have enough space in their homes to install the mantel or recessed units.
They are also great for apartments as they can be moved when you move. Some have a less traditional, more modern look than a freestanding fireplace but they still make a huge difference to the space. They are also simpler to operate than wall-mounted units since you only need to connect the unit and it will begin working.
Another benefit of a cabinet-style electric fireplace is that it's simple to find one that fits your home's color scheme. There are also options to match your flooring and walls so you don't need to paint them. Whatever type of fireplace you choose ensure that you choose one that's easy to use and safe for children and pets. It should be simple to clean with a moist rag.
Freestanding
As the name suggests, freestanding electric fireplaces can be placed in any room. Some electric fireplaces have an underlying structure to enhance their appearance, while others sit on a flat surface.
The latter is the Costway 20-inch Freestanding Electric Fireplace is one of our top choices and has a a sleek, rounded design that earned high scores in our tests due to its attractive design. It is also ready to use right from the package, without any assembly required. In addition to low and high temperatures, it comes with an alarm clock that you can set via the hidden control panel or via remote.
During our testing the flames appeared realistic and the logs had an authentic glow. This model also stands out for its easy operation and simple controls that include a power button, a heater control as well as a temperature dial. This is beneficial since it lets you choose the setting you prefer without having to fiddle with the controls on the device.
This freestanding model is also able to be used with no heating. We found that the flames could create beautiful light even when the heater was shut off. You can take pleasure in the warm and cozy appearance at any time.
This model doesn't provide the same level warmth that our other choices. This is due to the fact that it uses convection rather than radiant heating. We could feel warmth as far as 4.5ft away, despite this. This unit has four different flame effects that can be controlled by remote control. This unit is safe because it has an overheat protection system and the top remains cool. You can use it to display decorative objects. It is also CSA Group-certified, and has a solid construction that withstands the knocks from our testers.
