Free Standing Electric Fireplaces

This CSA-certified fireplace comes with four heat settings and a display top with plenty of space. It also has a cool to the touch exterior. It features an automatic shut-off and overheat protection.
Wall-Mounted
When it comes to electric fireplaces wall-mounted options are an excellent choice for those who want to mount their unit without having to cut into the walls or frame an opening. They have mounting brackets that allow you to put the fireplace suite directly on the wall like you would an LCD or picture and are able to install it yourself, though you may require assistance from a second pair hands if your marble fireplace is on the larger side. They are also ideal for those who rent their homes since they can be easily removed when it comes time to move them and won't create a hole in the wall.
Some models of wall-mounted fireplaces are built in a flush fashion to give a clean appearance or to build them in part into the wall recession for added depth. Certain models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series, have a trim skirt that allows you to conceal the protrusion of the firebox. You can also change the models' appearance by choosing different LED background and flame colors to match your decor.
The main downside of a wall-mounted free standing electric fireplace is that it occupies floor space, and because you don't have the option of putting it in a wall recession and therefore, they tend to stick out more than the traditional freestanding model that has a mantel. But this is a minor drawback and something to consider when deciding on which type of fireplace is right for you.
A wall-mounted electric fire can be mounted in any room of your house. You can create a focal point in your living room, and also add a touch to the ambiance. It's a great spot to gather with friends and family. You can also put one in your bedroom or office to create a relaxing atmosphere while you relax and work.
Mantel
A lot of these electric fireplaces come with the appearance of an open-air fireplace that burns wood. They're a good option for those who want the appearance of a fireplace with a built-in design but don't need the structural changes needed to their home or don't want the high cost of installing one. They're also safe for kids and pets to be around as they don't produce gas or flames that could be dangerous for anyone near them.
You can utilize some electric fireplaces with mantels with or without heating. This lets you enjoy the effects of flames all year round. If you decide to utilize them with heat it is common for these models to come with a setting that allows you to regulate the amount of heat generated by the fireplace. You can usually adjust this using an remote control, Alexa, or a smartphone app. Some of the top electric fireplaces have a feature which detects when you are in the room and then turns off the firebox automatically.
Electric fireplaces are available in different styles, ranging from rustic and traditional to sleek and contemporary. You'll be able to find one to match your interior design. Certain electric fireplaces are designed to be mounted over a flat-screen television. If you decide to go with this kind of fireplace, it is best to select one that is close to or smaller than your television's height.
If you're looking to create a more unique look, consider going with an electric fireplace that can be seen through. It's the only kind of electric fireplace that allows you to see through it into another room. This is a great feature to divide rooms or if you just want your fireplace to be the focal point of your living area.
You can find these electric fireplaces electric with a mantel with a variety of finishes, including white or whiskey maple. Some models have an optional built-in shelf can be used to display vases, books or other ornaments. Some models also come with an alarm clock that can be set to shut down 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. Electric fireplaces that appear like your fireplace can be plugged in to your existing firebox and instantly transform it into an electric one. We tried a model that looks like a log grate and features built-in lights that create a flame-like effect on your existing walls, and heaters that provide instant heat for the room. The remote included with the unit lets you manage all settings, including the intensity, height, ember bed lighting, and heating.
As opposed to wall-mounted fireplaces that are wall-mounted, these freestanding electric fireplaces are portable and don't require any permanent installation or mounting brackets. They can be moved around your home according to the need and can be used with or without the built-in heater. They come with an adjustable stand that can hold flat-screen televisions, and are specifically designed to fit into your home decor. These are a great option for those who don't wish to make a permanent change to their living rooms or have the space in their homes for a mantel or recessed unit.
They're also ideal for apartments as they can be moved if you move. Some have a more modern fireplace, more modern look than a freestanding fireplace, but they still add a lot to a room. They are also much easier to operate than a wall mounted unit because you just need to plug the unit in and it will get started.
Another benefit of a cabinet-style electric fireplace is that it's simple to find one that matches your home's color scheme. There are also options to match your walls and flooring so you don't have to paint them. Choose a fireplace that's easy to use, and safe for children as well as pets. It is also easy to keep clean by cleaning it with a damp cloth.
Freestanding
Like the name suggests, freestanding electric fireplaces can be set up in any room. Certain electric fireplaces come with a base to improve their appearance, whereas others sit on a flat surface.
The latter model, such as the Costway 20-Inch Freestanding Electric Fireplace, is one of our top choices and has a an elegant, rounded style that earned high scores in tests for its attractive design. It is also with everything you need straight out of the box, with no assembly required. In addition to low and high temperature settings, it also has an alarm clock that you can set on the hidden control panel, or by using the remote.
In our tests the flames looked realistic, and the logs were adorned with a real-fire glow. The model is also notable for its simple controls and simple operation: the power switch, heater control and a temperature dial. This dial is useful because it lets you select the settings you prefer without having to fiddle with the controls.
This freestanding model also has the capability to be used without heating. We found that the flames could create an attractive glow even when the heater was shut off. This allows you to enjoy its warm and cozy look throughout the year.
However, we did discover that this model does not deliver the same level of warmth as some of our other picks. This is due to the fact that it uses convection rather than radiant heating. We were able to feel warmth as far as 4.5ft away, despite this. The unit comes with four different flame effects, and can be controlled by remote control. The unit is safe as it comes with an overheat safety system and the top remains cool. It can be used to display your decor objects. It is also CSA Group-certified and has a sturdy construction that held up against the knocks from our test subjects. This makes it a secure and affordable option for those who are seeking an electric fireplace freestanding to complement their home.
