This CSA-certified fireplace offers four heat settings as well as a display top with plenty of space. It also has a cool to the touch exterior. It also has an overheat safety and an automatic shut-off.

Wall-Mounted

When it is about electric fireplaces, wall-mounted models are a great option for those who wish to install their fireplace without having to cut into the walls or frame an opening. These fireplaces come with mounting brackets, which allow you to place the fireplace directly onto the wall in the same way as a flat-screen television or picture. It is possible to install them yourself, but you may require a second pair in the event that the model is huge. They are also ideal for those who rent their homes because they are easy to remove when it's time to move them and won't leave a hole in the wall.

The majority of electric fireplaces that are wall-mounted can be placed into a wall recess so that they're completely flush with the wall to give an elegant appearance, or you can opt to build them into the recession to give them a bit of depth. Some models, such as the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series, have a trim skirt that allows you to conceal the firebox's protrusion. You can also change the units' looks by selecting different flame and background colors to fit your style.

A wall-mounted freestanding electric fireplace can take up a lot of floor space. And because you can't put it into a recess in the wall fires the fireplace tends to stick out more than a freestanding model with an edging. This is a minor disadvantage and something to consider when deciding on which type of fireplace is best for you.

A wall-mounted electric fireplace can be mounted in any room in your home. You can create a focal point in your living room while also adding some ambience. It's a great space to gather with family and friends. You can also place one in your bedroom or office for a cozy atmosphere as you relax and work.

Mantel

A lot of these electric fireplaces come with a mantel which looks like the appearance of a fireplace with wood fireplace burning. These electric fireplaces are a great option for those who want to look like an in-built fireplace, but don't want to make structural changes to their home or pay the high costs of installing one. These fireplaces are also suitable for pets and children since they don't produce fumes or flames which could pose danger to your family.

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 choose to have them heated it is common for these models to have a feature that allows you to regulate the amount of heat generated by the firebox. You can usually alter this setting using an remote control, Alexa, or a smartphone app. The best electric fireplaces feature a feature which detects when you are in the room, and then turns off the firebox automatically.

Electric fireplaces are available in various designs, ranging from traditional and rustic to sleek and contemporary. You'll be able to find one to match your interior design. Some are built with a TV stand in mind, which means you can put your flat-screen TV above it. If you opt for this type of fireplace, it is best to select one that is less or more than the television's height.

You could consider a see-through fireplace if you want a distinctive style. It is the only fireplace that lets you look through it and into a different room. It's an excellent choice for dividing rooms in your house or just for those who want to let the fireplace as the focal point of your living space.

Electric fireplaces are available in different finishes, including white or whiskey maple. Some models come with an optional built-in shelf which can be used to display ornaments like vases, books or other ornamental objects. Certain models have an alarm clock that can be set to shut off the unit after six hours.

Cabinet

If you have an old-fashioned wood burning fireplace in your home but do not use it, you can change it to an electric fireplace. There are a variety of electric fireplace inserts available which look exactly like your fireplace, and they can be plugged into the existing firebox to turn it into an electric fireplace. We tested a model that looks just like the log grate, and has built-in lighting that creates a flame-like effect on your existing walls, and heaters that provide instant heat for the room. The model has a remote control that lets you adjust all settings including flame intensity, height and the ember bed lighting.

Unlike wall-mounted units, these free standing electric fireplaces are portable and do not require any permanent installation or mounting brackets. They can be moved around within your home and utilized with or without a heater built-in. They come with stands that can accommodate flat-screen televisions and are designed to match your home's decor. These are an excellent option for those who don't want to change their living spaces or don't have the space for a mantel or recessed unit.

They're also a good choice for apartments, because they can be moved if you move to a different unit. Some have a more modern, less traditional appearance than a mantel that is freestanding but they are still able to bring a sense of style to any room. They are also much easier to use than a wall mounted unit because you just need to connect the unit and it will begin working.

A cabinet-style electric fireplace is also a great choice to match the colors of your home. There are even options that match the colors of your walls and floors, so that you don't have to paint them over. Whatever kind of fireplace you select ensure that you choose one that's easy to operate and is safe for kids and pets. It is also easy to keep clean by simply wiping it down with a damp cloth.

Freestanding

Freestanding electric fireplaces are able to stand on their own in a room. Some electric fireplaces have 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 design that received high marks during testing for its appealing appearance. It is also ready to use straight out of the box, with no installation required. It comes with low and high temperature settings, as well as a timer you can set through the hidden control panel.

During our testing the flames looked realistic and the logs had the appearance of real ethonal fire. This model also stands out for its ease of use and simple controls: a power button, a heater control, and an adjustable temperature dial. This dial is beneficial because it lets you select your preferred setting, without having fiddle around with the controls.

Another excellent characteristic of this model that is freestanding is its ability to operate without heating. In fact, we found that the flames can create an amazing ambient glow even when the heater is off. This allows you to take advantage of its warm and cozy appearance at any time of the year.

However, we did find that this model does not offer the same level of warmth as some of our other options. This is because it uses convection instead of radiant heating. We were able to feel warmth up to 4.5ft away, despite this. The temperature settings on this device can be adjusted with the remote control, and there are four different flame effects to choose from. This unit is safe because it comes with an overheat safety system, and its top is cool. You can use it to display decor items. It is also CSA Group certified and has a solid construction that held up against the knocks from our test subjects. This makes it a reliable and affordable option for those who are seeking a freestanding electric fireplace to add to their home.
