Free Standing Electric Fireplaces

You don't have to drill holes in your wall to mount a freestanding unit. Mounting brackets are usually included with the item and the specifications will inform you the distance between them.

Apart from offering four heating settings, this CSA-certified fireplace has a cool-to-the-touch exterior and a large top that can be used for display. It comes with an automatic shut-off feature and overheat protection.

Wall-Mounted

Electric fireplaces that can be mounted to the wall are perfect for those who don't want cut into their walls or frame an opening. They have mounting brackets that allow you to mount the fireplace directly on a wall like you would a flat-screen or picture TV and, in most cases, you can install it yourself, although you may require assistance by a second pair of hands if the model is a bit larger. They're also great for people who rent their homes since they are easy to remove when it's time to move and don't create a hole in the wall.

The majority of wall-mounted electric fireplaces can be placed into a wall recess to be flush with the wall for a sleek look, or you can opt to integrate them into the recession partially to add depth. Certain models, such as the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series come with a trim skirt that can hide the protrusion from the firebox. You can also alter these units' looks by selecting different flame and background colors to fit your style.

A wall-mounted freestanding electric fireplace takes up a lot of floor space. Since you aren't able to mount it into an egress in the wall the fireplace tends to stick out more than a freestanding model that has a mantel. This is not a major disadvantage and should be considered when choosing the best kind of fireplace for your needs.

Another benefit of having 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 little of ambience to your living space while also creating a wonderful focal point and providing a warm place for your family and friends to gather together. 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 have an attractive mantel that resembles a traditional wood-burning fireplace. These fireplaces with electric technology are a great option for those who wish to have the look of an in-built fireplace, but don't need to make structural changes to their home or pay the high cost of installing one. They are also safe for pets and children because they don't produce fumes or flames that could pose a risk to the health of your family members.

Certain electric fireplaces with mantels are able to be utilized with or without heating, allowing you to enjoy the flame effects year-round. If you choose to utilize them with heat it is typical for these models to come with a setting that allows you to manage the amount of heat generated by the firebox. You can typically adjust this with the remote control, Alexa, or a smartphone app. Some of the best electric fireplaces feature an option that detects when you are in the room, and switches the firebox off or on automatically.

Electric fireplaces are available in various styles, ranging from traditional and rustic to modern and simple. You'll be able to find one that will complement your interior design. Some are designed with TV stands in mind, which means you can place your flat-screen television on top of it. If you decide to go with this type of model you should select the fireplace with a width that's close to the same size or less than the height of your television.

You could consider a see-through fireplace for an unusual appearance. It's the only kind of electric fireplace available that allows you to see through it into a different room. This is a great option to divide rooms or when you want the fireplace wall mount to be the focal point of your living area.

There are electric fireplaces that have a mantel with a variety of 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 books, vases or other objects of decoration. Certain models have an alarm clock that can be set to shut off 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. Electric fireplace inserts that look like a fireplace can be connected to your existing firebox to instantly transform it into an electric one. We tried a model that looks just like the log grate, and has built-in lighting that creates an effect of flames on the walls you already have, and heaters that provide instant warmth to the room. The model comes with the ability to control the remote with a remote that allows you to adjust all settings including flame height, intensity and ember bed lighting.

Freestanding electric fireplaces, unlike wall-mounted units are portable and do not require 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 also have a stand that can hold flat-screen TVs and are designed to blend with your decor. These are an excellent option for people who don't want to permanently change their living rooms or don't have the space in their homes for the mantel or recessed units.

They're also ideal for apartments because they can be moved when you move. Some models have a modern style, and less traditional look than a freestanding mantel, but they can still bring a sense of style to any room. They are also simpler to operate than a wall mounted unit because you just need to plug the unit into the outlet and it will get started.

A cabinet-style electric fireplace is also a great choice for matching your home's colors. There are even options to match your flooring and walls 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 should be easy to clean with a damp rag.

Freestanding

Freestanding electric fireplaces are able to stand on their own in a room. Certain electric fireplaces come with a base to enhance their appearance, while others rest on a flat surface.

The Costway 20-inch Freestanding Electric Fireplace is one of the top picks. It has a sleek and rounded style, and received top scores during tests for its attractive design. It's also ready for use right out of the box, with no assembly required. In addition to low and high heat settings, it has a timer that you can set via the hidden control panel or via remote.

In our tests the flames appeared realistic, and the logs were adorned with the appearance of real fire. This model is also noted for its simple controls and simple operation: an energy switch, a heater control, and a temperature dial. This is useful since it lets you choose your preferred setting without having to fiddle with the controls on the device.

Another great feature of this freestanding model is that it can operate without heating. We found that the flames can produce a lovely glow even when the heater was off. This allows you to take pleasure in its warm and inviting appearance at any time of the year.

This model does not provide the same level warmth as our other models. This is because it uses convection rather than radiant heating. We could feel warmth up to 4.5ft away despite this. The unit comes with four different flame effects that can be controlled with a remote control. In terms of safety, this unit is protected against overheating and remains cool to the top of its surface and bottom, allowing you to display decorative items on it. It is also CSA Group certified and has solid construction that has stood against the pounding of our testers. This makes it a secure and affordable option for those looking for an electric fireplace that is freestanding to add to their home.
