Free Standing Electric Fireplaces

With a free-standing model you don't need to make holes in your walls. The product will usually come with mounting brackets. The specifications will indicate how far apart they need to be separated.

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

Wall-Mounted

Electric fireplaces that are wall-mounted are ideal for those who don't want to cut their walls or frame an opening. These fireplaces come with mounting brackets that permit you to put the fireplace directly on a wall just like a flat-screen TV or picture. They can be installed yourself, however you may need a second pair if the model is large. They're also great for people who rent their homes because they can be easily removed when it's time to move, and they don't cause a hole on the wall.

Certain models of wall-mounted fireplaces can be built flush with the wall to create a sleek look or to incorporate them into the wall recession to add depth. Certain models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series, have the option of a trim skirt, which allows you to hide the firebox's protrusion. You can also alter the look of these units by choosing different flame and LED background color settings to match the space you have.

A wall-mounted freestanding electric fireplace takes up a significant amount of floor space. And because you can't mount it into an opening in the wall and it is prone to stick out more than a freestanding one with an edging. This is a minor disadvantage and should be taken into consideration when choosing the best kind of fireplace for your needs.

A wall-mounted electric fire can be positioned in any room of your house. It can be used to create a focal point in your living room and also add some ambience. It's a great place to gather with family and friends. You can also put one in your office or bedroom for a comfortable atmosphere while you relax and work.

Mantel

A lot of these electric fireplaces come with an attractive mantel that resembles the traditional fireplace with wood burning. These electric stone fireplaces are an excellent choice for those who wish to have the look of an in-built fireplace but don't want to make structural changes to their house or incur the high costs of installing one. They are also suitable for pets and children since they don't emit flames or fumes which could pose danger to your family.

There are electric fireplaces with mantels with or without heat. This lets you enjoy the effects of flames all year round. These models often come with a control to regulate the amount of heat generated by the firebox, if you opt to use them as heaters. You can alter this using a remote control or Alexa. Some of the highest-quality electric fireplaces will even have the ability to detect when you're in the room, and automatically turn the fireplace on or off.

You can find these electric fireplaces in a variety of styles, ranging from simple and modern to more rustic and traditional, so you're sure to find one that fits your style. Some are designed with the TV stand in mind, which means you can place your flat-screen television on top of it. If you decide to choose this kind of fireplace, it's best to choose a fireplace that has a width that's close to the same or less than the height of your television.

Consider a fireplace with a view-through for a unique look. This is the only electric fireplace that allows you to look through it and into another room. This is an excellent option to divide rooms or if you just want your fireplace to be the main focal feature of your living space.

These electric fireplaces come in various finishes, including white and whiskey maple. Some models have an optional built-in shelf can be used to display vases, books or other ornaments. Certain models have the option of a timer that can be set to shut off the unit after 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 available which look exactly like your fireplace, and they can be plugged into your existing firebox to instantly turn it into an electric fire fireplace. We tested one that appears like a log-grille and comes with built-in lights that create an effect similar to an actual flame on your walls. It also comes with a heater that instantly provides warmth to the area. The remote that comes with the unit allows you to control all settings, including flame intensity, height, ember bed lighting, and heating.

Unlike wall-mounted units and freestanding electric fireplaces, these freestanding electric fireplaces are portable and don't require any permanent installation or mounting brackets. They can be moved anywhere in your home and used with or without a built-in heater. They also include a stand to hold flat-screen TVs, and are designed to blend in with your home decor. These are a great option for those who don't wish to make a permanent change to their living rooms or don't have the space in their homes for a mantel or recessed unit.

They're also a good choice for apartments, because they can be moved if you move to a new unit. Some have a less traditional, more modern design than a freestanding fireplace, but they still add a lot to a room. They are also much easier to use than wall-mounted units because you just need to plug the unit in and it will start working.

A cabinet-style electric fireplace is also a great choice to match the colors of your home. There are also options that match the hues of your walls and floors, so that you don't need to paint them. Choose a fireplace that is simple to use and safe for children as well as pets. It is also easy to clean by simply wiping it down with a damp cloth.

Freestanding

Freestanding electric fireplaces can be set up to stand alone in a room. Some have a base to enhance the look and some are designed to rest atop a flat surface.

The Costway 20-inch Freestanding Electric Fireplace is among the top selections. It features an elegant and rounded design that received high marks in tests for its attractive design. It's also ready to use straight out of the package, without any installation required. It comes with low and high temperature settings, as well as an adjustable timer that you can set via the hidden control panel.

In our tests, we discovered the flames to be extremely realistic and the logs shone with an almost real-fire look. This model is also notable for its easy controls and simple operation: the power switch, thermostat control, and a heater dial. This is beneficial since it lets you choose the setting you prefer without having to juggle the controls on the unit.

This freestanding model also has the ability to be used without heating. In actuality, we observed that the flames can create beautiful ambient light even when the heater is off. You can take pleasure in the warm and cozy appearance anytime.

This model isn't able to offer the same degree of warmth that our other choices. This is because it uses convection instead of radiant heating. Despite this we were able to feel the warmth from up to 4.5 feet away. This unit has four different flame effects that can be controlled via remote control. In terms of safety, this unit has overheat protection and stays cool to the touch on its top, so you can display decor items on it. It is also CSA Group certified and is built with a strong structure that held up against the pounding of our test subjects. This makes it a reliable and affordable option for those looking for an electric fireplace freestanding to complement their home.
