These fireplaces come with mounting brackets, which allow you to mount the fireplace directly onto a wall just like flat-screen televisions or picture. It is possible to install them yourself, but you might need a second pair if the model is large. These units are also perfect for those who rent their home and can easily be removed when it's time for you to move. They don't even leave a hole on the wall.

The majority of electric fireplaces for wall mounting can be installed into a wall recession so that they're completely flush with the wall to give a sleek look or to integrate them into the recession partially to give them a bit of depth. Some models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series come with a trim skirt to hide the protrusion from the fireplace. You can also customize the look of these units by selecting different LED background and flame color settings to match the space you have.

A wall-mounted freestanding electric fireplace electric can take up a significant amount of floor space.

Freestanding

Freestanding electric fireplaces are able to stand on their own in a room. Some electric fireplaces feature an underlying structure to enhance their appearance, while others sit on a flat surface.

The latter type, such as the Costway 20-inch Freestanding Electric Fireplace is one of our top choices and has a a sleek, rounded design that has received top marks in testing for its attractive looks. It is also with everything you need straight from the box, with no assembly needed. In addition to the low and high temperature settings, it also has a timer that you can set via the hidden control panel, or by using the remote.

This is useful because it lets you select your preferred setting without having to mess with the controls on the unit.

In actuality, we observed that the flames can create an amazing ambient glow even when the heater is turned off. This lets you take pleasure in its warm and inviting appearance at any time of the year.

However, we did discover that this particular model doesn't offer the same level of warmth as some of our other options. This is due to the fact that it uses convection rather than radiant heating. However, we were still able to feel warmth from up to 4.5 feet away. This unit has four different flame effects, and can be controlled via remote control. In terms of safety, this unit has overheat protection and stays cool to the top of its surface which means you can put decor items on it. It is also CSA Group certified and has an extremely sturdy construction that stood against the pounding of our testers.
