Free Standing Electric Fireplaces
With a free-standing model you don't have to drill holes in your walls. Mounting brackets are typically included with the item and the specifications will inform you how far apart to place them.
This CSA-certified fireplace comes with four heat settings and a display top that has plenty of space. It also features a cool to the touch exterior. It comes with an automatic shut-off as well as overheat protection.
Wall-Mounted
When it comes to electric fireplaces wall-mounted models are a great option for those who wish to put their fireplace in a wall without cutting into the walls or frame an opening. These fireplaces come with mounting brackets that allow you to mount the fireplace directly on the wall, just like flat-screen televisions or picture. You can install them yourself, but you may need a second pair if the fireplace is big. These units are also perfect for those who rent their home, as they can easily be taken down when it's time to move. They don't even leave a hole on the wall.
Some models of wall-mounted fireplaces are built flush into the wall to give a sleek appearance, or you can choose to build them in part into the wall to give them more depth. Certain models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series, even come with a trim skirt that lets you hide the protrusion of the firebox. You can also change the look of these units by choosing different LED and flame colors to fit your decor.
The primary drawback of wall-mounted freestanding electric fireplace is that it takes up floor space, and because you don't have the option to mount it into the wall and therefore, they tend to extend more than an ordinary freestanding model with mantel. This is a minor drawback and should be taken into consideration when deciding on the best type of fireplace for your needs.
A wall-mounted electric fireplace can be installed in any room of your house. This means you can add a bit of ambiance to your living room while also creating a wonderful focal point and an inviting space for family and
lynnbolvin friends to gather together. You can also place one in your office or bedroom for a cozy atmosphere as you work or relax.
Mantel
A majority of these fireplaces come with an attractive mantel that resembles an old-fashioned fireplace with wood burning. Electric fireplaces are a great choice for those who would like to look like an in-built fireplace but do not want 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 produce fumes or flames that could be dangerous.
You can utilize some electric fireplaces that have mantels with or without heating. This lets you enjoy the effects of flames all year round. These models often come with a control to regulate the heat produced by the firebox, if you decide to use them as heaters. You can usually adjust this using a remote control, Alexa, or a smartphone app. The best electric fireplaces feature an option that detects when you are in the room, and turns the firebox on/off automatically.
There are electric fireplaces in a variety of styles, ranging from modern and simple to more rustic and traditional, so you're sure to find one that matches your style. Some are built with a TV stand in mind, so you can place your flat-screen TV above it. If you opt for this type of fireplace, it's recommended to choose one with a width close to or smaller than the television's height.
If you want to create a more unique appearance, think about using a transparent electric fireplace. This is the only electric fireplace that allows you to look through it and into a different room. It's a great choice to divide rooms in your home, or even if you want to have the fireplace be the centerpiece of your living space.
There are electric fireplaces with a mantel in various finishes, such as white or whiskey maple. Some models come with an optional built-in shelving unit which can be used to display decorative objects like vases, books or other ornamental objects. Some models also come with an automatic timer that can be set to shut down the unit after six hours.
Cabinet
If you have a traditional wood-burning fireplace in your home, but do not use it, you can change it to an electric fireplace. There are various electric fireplaces which look exactly like your fireplace, and can be connected to your existing firebox to turn it into an electric fireplace. We tested a model which looks like a log grate and has built-in lights that create an effect similar to an actual flame on your walls. It also features a heater that provides instant heating for the room. The remote included with the unit allows you to manage all settings, including flame intensity, height, ember bed lighting, and heating.
Freestanding electric fireplaces, unlike wall-mounted fireplaces, are portable and don't require permanent installation or mounting brackets. They can be moved to any location within your home and utilized with or without a heater built-in. They come with an adjustable stand that can hold flat-screen televisions and are designed to match your home decor. These are a great option for people who don't want to change their living rooms or have the space in their homes to install an acoustic mantel or recessed unit.
They're also a good option for apartments because they can be moved as you move to another unit. Some are more contemporary, with a more modern look than a freestanding fireplace but can still make a huge difference to the space. These units are also easier to use than wall-mounted units since you can plug them in and they'll begin working.
Another benefit of a fireplace that is built like a cabinet is that it's simple to find one that matches the color scheme of your home. There are also options that are matched to the colors of your walls and floors to ensure that you don't have to paint over them. Choose a fireplace that is easy to operate and safe for children and pets. It should be simple to clean with a moist rag.
Freestanding
Freestanding electric fireplaces are able to stand on their own in the room. Some come with a base to enhance the look and some are designed to be placed on an even surface.
The latter model is the Costway 20-Inch Freestanding Electric Fireplace is among our top picks. It has a sleek, rounded design that earned high marks in testing for its attractive design. It's also ready for Lynnbolvin (
lynnbolvin.Top) use straight out of the package, without any installation required. It has low and high temperatures and the ability to set a timer through the hidden control panel.
In our tests, the flames were very realistic and the logs had an authentic glow. The model is also notable for its easy controls and easy operation, including the power switch, thermostat control, and a heater dial. This dial is beneficial since it lets you select your preferred setting, without having to fiddle with the controls.
This freestanding model also has the capability to be used without heating. In fact, we found that the flames can produce beautiful ambient light even when the heater is off. You can enjoy the warm and
lynnbolvin inviting appearance at any time.
However, we did notice that this model does not provide the same amount of warmth as our other choices. This is because the heating method is convection and not radiant. We could feel warmth up to 4.5ft away, despite this. The temperature settings of this device can be adjusted with the remote control, and it comes with four different flame effects to select from. In terms of safety, this unit comes with overheat protection and remains cool to the top of its hood which means you can put decor items on it.
