Wall-Mounted

When it comes to electric fireplaces, wall-mounted models are a great option for those who wish to mount their unit without cutting into the walls or frame an opening. They have brackets for mounting that allow you to mount the fireplace directly on a wall just like a flat-screen or picture TV and are able to install it yourself - although you might need assistance from a second pair hands if your model is larger than the norm. They are also great for those who rent their home because they can easily be removed when it's time for you to move. They don't even leave a hole in the wall.

Most wall fires-mounted electric fireplaces can be installed into a wall recession to be flush with the wall to give an elegant appearance or to integrate them into the recession in part to add depth. Certain models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series, even come with an edging skirt that lets you hide the firebox's protrusion. You can also customize these units' looks by selecting different LED background and flame colors to complement your decor.

The main downside of a wall-mounted, freestanding electric fireplace is that it occupies the floor space. Also, since you don't have the option of mounting it into a wall recession, they tend to stick out slightly more than a traditional freestanding model with mantel. This is a minor disadvantage and should be taken into consideration when deciding on the best type of fireplace for you.

Another benefit of a wall-mounted electric fireplace is that you can place it in any space of your home. You can create a focal point in your living room while also adding an element of ambiance.

Some electric fireplaces with mantels have the option to be used with or without heating, allowing you to enjoy the flame effects year-round.

There are different electric fireplace inserts available which look exactly like your fireplace suites, and they can be plugged into your existing firebox to turn it into an electric fireplace. We tried a model that looks just like a log grate and features built in lights that create the appearance of a flame on your walls as well as heaters that provide instant warmth to the room. The remote included with the unit allows you to manage all settings, including flame height, intensity of the ember bed lighting and heating.
