Free Standing Electric Fireplaces |
|||
|
|||
With a free-standing model, you won't need to cut holes in your walls. Mounting brackets are usually included with the product and the specifications will tell you how far apart to space them. |
|||
|
|||
The CSA-certified fireplace has four heat settings and an open display with plenty of space. It also comes with a cool-to-the touch exterior. It comes with an automatic shut-off feature and overheat protection. |

Wall-Mounted |
|||
|
|||
When it comes to electric fireplaces, wall-mounted options are a great choice for those who want to put their fireplace in a wall without cutting the walls or frame an opening. These fireplaces come with mounting brackets, which permit you to put the fireplace directly on the wall, just like a flat-screen TV or picture. It is possible to install them yourself, however you may require a second pair if the fireplace is big. These units are also perfect for those who rent their homes and can easily be 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 placed into a wall recess to be flush with the wall to give an elegant appearance, or you can opt to integrate them into the recession to give them a bit of depth. Some models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series come with a trim skirt to conceal the protrusion from the firebox. You can also customize these models' appearance by choosing different flame and background colors to match your decor. |
|||
|
|||
The biggest drawback to wall-mounted freestanding [electric fireplace](https://www.fireplacesandstove.com/) is that it occupies the floor space, and since there is no option to mount it into a wall recession, they tend to be slightly more than a traditional freestanding model with mantel. This is a minor drawback and should be considered when choosing the best kind of fireplace for your needs. |
|||
|
|||
Another upside of a wall-mounted electric fireplace is that you can place it in any space of your home. This means you can add a little of atmosphere to your living space as well as creating a great focal point and providing a cozy space for family and friends to gather together. You can even mount one in the bedroom or office to create a relaxing environment while you relax or work. |

Mantel |
|||
|
|||
A majority of these fireplaces come with a mantel that looks like a traditional wood-burning fireplace. These electric fireplaces are a great option for those who want to look like an in-built fireplace but do not need to make structural changes to their home or incur the high cost of installing one. These fireplaces are also safe for children and pets because they don't emit smoke or flames that could pose a risk to the health of your family members. |
|||
|
|||
Some electric fireplaces with mantels can be utilized with or without heat, allowing you to enjoy the flame effects all year long. These fireplaces typically have a setting to control the heat produced by the fireplace if you choose to use them as heaters. You can alter this using a remote control or Alexa. Some of the top-quality electric fireplaces will even have an option that detects when you are in the room and automatically turn the fireplace on or off. |
|||
|
|||
There are electric fireplaces in a variety of styles, ranging from simple and modern to more rustic and traditional, so you're sure to find one that matches your style. Some electric fireplaces are designed to be mounted over a flat-screen television. If you choose to use this type of model, it's best to choose the fireplace with the same width or the same or less than the height of your television. |
|||
|
|||
If you're looking to create a unique look, consider going with a see-through electric fireplace. This is the only type of electric fireplace that allows you to look through it into a different room. It's a great choice for dividing rooms within your house or just when you want to make the fireplace be the centerpiece of your living space. |
|||
|
|||
There are electric fireplaces with mantels in various finishes, such as white or whiskey maple. Some models come with an optional built-in shelf that can be used to display books, vases or other items of decor. Certain models have an alarm clock that can be set to turn off the unit at six hours. |

Cabinet |

|

If you have an old-fashioned wood burning fireplace in your home but don't use it, you can convert to an electric fireplace. There are various electric fireplaces that look like your fireplace and can be plugged into the existing firebox to turn it into an electric fireplace. We tested a model that appears like the log grate, and has built in lights that create an effect of flames on your walls and heaters that provide instant heat for the room. The remote that comes with the unit lets you control all settings, which include the intensity, height, ember bed lighting and heat. |

|

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 also include a stand to hold flat-screen TVs, and are designed to blend with your home decor. These are excellent options for people who do not need to change their living spaces or don't have enough space for a mantel or recessed unit. |
|||
|
|||
These are also good for apartments since they can be moved when you move. Some of them have a less traditional, more modern appearance than a freestanding fireplace, but can still bring a lot of value to a room. They are also easier to use than wall-mounted units, as you can simply plug the unit in and it will begin working. |
|||
|
|||
Another benefit of a cabinet-style electric fireplace is that it's simple to find one that is compatible with the colors of your home. There are also options to match your flooring and walls so you don't have to paint them. Choose a fireplace that's easy to operate and safe for children and pets. It should be simple to clean with a damp rag. |

Freestanding |
|||
|
|||
Like the name suggests, freestanding electric fireplaces can be placed in any room. Some electric fireplaces have a base to improve their appearance, while others sit on a flat surface. |
|||
|
|||
The latter model like the Costway 20-Inch Freestanding Electric Fireplace, is one of our top choices and has a an elegant, rounded design that has received top scores in tests for its attractive design. It's also ready to use straight out of the package, without any assembly required. In addition to the low and high temperatures, it comes with a timer you can set via the hidden control panel or via remote. |
|||
|
|||
During testing, we found the flames to be incredibly realistic and the logs sparkled with a realistic-looking look. The model is also notable due to its simple operation and simple controls: a power button, a heater control, and the temperature dial. This is beneficial since it lets you choose the setting you prefer without having to mess with the controls on the unit. |
|||
|
|||
This freestanding model also has the ability to be used with no heating. We found that the flames could produce a lovely glow even when the heater was shut off. This lets you take pleasure in its warm and inviting appearance throughout the year. |
|||
|
|||
This model doesn't provide the same level warmth as our other models. This is due to the fact that the heating technique is convection, not radiant. Despite this, we were still able to feel the warmth from up to 4.5 feet away. The temperature settings of this device can be adjusted via the remote control, and there are four different flame effects that you can choose from. In terms of safety, this unit is protected against overheating and remains cool to the top of its hood and bottom, allowing you to display decor items on it. It is also CSA Group certified and has solid construction that has stood up to the abuse of our test subjects. This makes it a secure and affordable choice for those seeking a freestanding electric fireplace to complement their home. |
