This CSA-certified fireplace offers four heating settings and an open display with plenty of space. It also comes with a cool-to-the touch exterior. It has an automatic shut-off feature and overheat protection.

Wall-Mounted

Electric fireplaces that are wall-mounted are perfect for those who don't want cut into their walls or frame an aperture. These units have brackets for mounting that allow you to mount the fireplace directly on a wall, just like a flat-screen or picture TV, and you can typically install it yourself - although you might need assistance from a second pair of hands if the model is larger than the norm. These units are also perfect for those who rent their home because they can easily be removed when it's time for you to move. They don't even 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 look, or you can opt to build them into the recession to add depth. Certain models, such as the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series come with a trim skirt that can cover the protrusion of the fireplace. You can also customize the appearance of these units by selecting different flame and LED background colors to fit the space you have.

A wall-mounted freestanding electric fireplace takes up a significant amount of floor space. And because you can't put it into an egress in the wall the fireplace tends to stick out more than a freestanding model with an edging. But this isn't a major issue and an important thing to take into consideration when deciding which kind of fireplace is the best one for you.

Another benefit of a wall-mounted electric fireplace is that you can mount it in any room inside of your home. This means you can add a bit of atmosphere to your living space while also creating an excellent focal point, and an inviting space for family and friends to gather together. You can even mount one in the office or bedroom to create a cozy environment while you relax or work.

They are also suitable for pets and children since they don't emit flames or fumes that could be dangerous.

You can use some electric wooden fireplaces with mantels that come with or without heat. This lets you enjoy the flame effects all year round.

Some electric fireplaces are designed to be hung above a flat-screen TV.

If you have a traditional wood-burning fireplace in your home, but don't use it, you can convert to an electric fireplace.

It also features a heater that instantly provides heating for the room. The remote included with the unit allows you to control all settings, including flame intensity, height, ember bed lighting and heat.

They can be moved anywhere in your home, and used with or without a heater built-in. They also have a stand that can hold flat-screen TVs, and are designed to blend with your home's decor. These are great options for those who don't need to change their living spaces or don't have enough space for a mantel or recessed unit.

They are also great for apartments since they can be moved if you move. Some have a more modern, more modern look than a freestanding fireplace, but can still make a huge difference to a room. These units are also easier to utilize than wall-mounted units since they can be connected and they will start working.

A cabinet-style electric fireplace is also a great option for matching your home's colors. There are also options to match your flooring and walls so you don't need to paint them. Regardless of the type of fireplace you select, make sure to pick one that is easy to use and safe for children and pets. It should be simple to clean with a damp rag.

Freestanding

Freestanding electric fireplaces can be set up to stand alone in the room. Certain electric fireplaces come with an underlying structure to enhance their appearance, while others rest on a flat surface.

However, we did notice that this particular model doesn't offer the same level of warmth as our other picks. This is because the heating method is convection, not radiant. However we were able to feel the warmth up to 4.5 feet away. The temperature settings on this device can be adjusted with the remote control, and it has four different flame effects that you can choose from.
