Free Standing Electric Fireplaces
You don't have to drill holes in your wall for a free-standing unit. The product is usually supplied with mounting brackets. The specifications will indicate how far apart they should be separated.
Apart from offering four heating settings, this CSA-certified fireplace has a cool-to-the-touch exterior and a spacious top to display. It also has overheat protection and an automatic shut-off.
Wall-Mounted
Electric fireplaces that can be mounted to the wall are perfect for those who don't want to have cut into their walls or frame an aperture. They have mounting brackets that permit you to hang the fireplace directly on a wall just like an LCD or picture and, in most cases, you can install it yourself, although you might need assistance by a second pair of hands if your fireplace is larger than the norm. They're also great for those who rent their homes since they are easy to remove when it comes time to move, and they don't leave a hole in the wall.
The majority of wall-mounted electric fireplaces can be installed into a wall recession so that they're completely flush with the wall to give a sleek appearance or to build them into the recession to give them a bit of depth. Certain models, such as the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series come with a trim skirt to cover the protrusion of the fireplace. You can also change the look of these units by selecting different LED and flame color settings to match the space you have.
The main downside of wall-mounted freestanding electric fireplace is that it occupies floor space, and because you don't have the option of putting it in the wall, they tend to stick out a bit further than a traditional freestanding model with a mantel. But this is a minor disadvantage and something to consider when deciding on which type of fireplace is the best one for you.
A wall-mounted electric fire can be mounted in any room of your home. This means you can add a bit of atmosphere to your living space while also creating an excellent focal point, and a cozy space for family and friends to gather together. You can also mount one in your office or bedroom for a comfortable atmosphere while you work or relax.
Mantel
Many of these electric fireplaces come with an attractive mantel that resembles the appearance of a fireplace with wood burning. They're an excellent choice for those who want the appearance of a fireplace built-in but don't have the structural changes needed to their home or want to pay the price of installing one. They're also safe for kids and pets to be around, as they don't produce flames or fumes that would be hazardous for anyone who is near them.
Some fireplaces that have mantels have the option to be used with or without heat, allowing you to enjoy the flame effects year-round. If you decide to have them heated it is typical for these models to have a setting that lets you regulate the amount of heat generated by the fireplace. You can adjust this using the remote control or Alexa. Some of the highest-quality electric fireplaces have an option that detects when you're in the room and automatically turn the fireplace on or off.
You can find these electric fireplaces with styles that range from modern and simple to more traditional and rustic, so you're sure to find one that fits your style. Some are built with the TV stand in mind, which means you can put your flat-screen television above it. If you decide to go with this kind of fireplace, it is ideal to select one with a width that is smaller or similar to your television's height.
Consider a fireplace with a view-through If you are looking for a unique style. This is the only kind of electric fireplace available that allows you to see through it into a different space. It's an excellent choice to divide rooms in your home or if you want to have the fireplace as the focal point of your living space.
There are electric fireplaces that have a mantel in various finishes, such as white or whiskey maple. Some models have an optional built-in shelf that can be used to display books, vases, or other decorative items. Some models also include an automatic timer that can be set to shut off the unit after a time period of six hours.
Cabinet
It is possible to convert a wood-burning fireplace that you do not use into an electric fireplace. There are different electric Fireplace inserts (www.fireplacesandstoves.uk) available which look exactly like your fireplace, and they can be plugged into your existing firebox to instantly turn it into an electric fireplace. We tested a model which looks like a log grate and has built-in lights that produce an effect that resembles an actual flame on your walls. It also features a heater that instantly provides heat for the space. The remote that comes with the unit allows you to manage all settings, including the intensity, height, ember bed lighting and heating.
Free-standing electric fireplaces unlike wall-mounted fireplaces, are portable and don't require permanent installation or mounting brackets. They can be moved around your home as needed 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 home decor. These are an excellent option for those who don't want to permanently change their living rooms or don't have the space for a mantel or recessed unit.
They're also a good option for apartments as they can be moved if you move to another unit. Some have a more contemporary, less traditional appearance than a freestanding mantel style, but they can still provide a great atmosphere to any room. They are also easier to use than wall-mounted units, as you can simply plug the unit into the outlet and it will begin working.
Another benefit of a cabinet-style electric fireplace is that it's simple to find one that is compatible with the colors of your home. There are also options that are matched to the hues of your floors and walls and floors, so you don't have to paint them. Whatever kind of fireplace you pick be sure to select one that is easy to use and safe for children and pets. It should also be easy to clean by simply wiping it clean with a damp cloth.
Freestanding
Freestanding electric fireplaces can be set up to stand on their own in a room. Some electric fireplaces feature a base to enhance their appearance, while others rest on a flat surface.
The Costway 20-inch Freestanding Electric Fireplace is among the top picks. It has an elegant and round style, and received top scores during tests for its attractive design. It's also with everything you need right out of the box, with no assembly needed. In addition to low and high temperatures, it comes with a timer that you can set on the hidden control panel or via remote.
In our tests, we discovered the flames to be incredibly realistic and the logs sparkled with a look that was reminiscent of real fire. The model is also notable for its simple controls and simple operation, including the power switch, heater control and a temperature dial. This dial is helpful because it allows you to choose the setting you prefer, without having to fiddle with the controls.
Another great feature of this freestanding model is the ability to run without heating. In fact, we found that the flames can produce an amazing ambient glow even when the heater is turned off. This allows you to take advantage of its warm and cozy appearance at any time of the year.
This model doesn't provide the same level warmth as our other picks. This is due to the fact that it uses convection rather than radiant heating. We were able to feel warmth up to 4.5ft away despite this. The temperature settings of this unit can be adjusted using the remote control, and there are four different flame effects that you can choose from. In terms of safety, this model comes with overheat protection and remains cool to the touch on its top which means you can put decorative items on it. It is also CSA Group certified and has solid construction that has stood up to the knocks of our test subjects. This makes it a cost-effective and safe choice for those looking to add a freestanding fireplace in their home.
