They are also ideal for those who rent their homes as they are easy to remove when it comes time to move them and won't create a hole in the wall.

Some models of wall-mounted fireplaces can be constructed flush into the wall to give a clean appearance, or you can choose to build them partially into the wall recession to give them more depth.

There are electric fireplaces that have mantels with or without heat. This allows you to enjoy the flame effects all year round. If you choose to have them heated it is common for these models to have a setting that allows you to manage the amount of heat produced by the firebox.

Freestanding

As the name suggests, freestanding electric fireplaces can be set up in any room. Some come with a base to enhance the appearance and some are designed to rest atop an even surface.

Another excellent characteristic of this model that is freestanding is that it can operate without heating. In actuality, we observed that the flames could produce an amazing ambient glow even when the heater is turned off. You can take pleasure in the warm and cozy appearance at any time.

However, we did find that this model does not deliver the same level of warmth as some of our other options. This is due to the fact that it uses convection instead of radiant heating. However we were able to feel the warmth up to 4.5 feet away. The temperature settings on this unit can be adjusted using the remote control, and there are four different flame effects to select from. The unit is safe as it comes with an overheat safety system, and its top is cool. You can use it to display decor items.
