Wall-Mounted

When it is about electric fireplaces, wall-mounted options are a great option for those looking to mount their unit without having to cut into the walls or frame an opening. These fireplaces come with mounting brackets, which allow you to place the fireplace directly on a wall just like a flat-screen television or picture. It is possible to install them yourself, but you may need a second pair if the model is large. They are also great for those who rent their homes, as they can easily be removed when it's time for you to move. They don't leave a gap on the wall.

Certain models of wall-mounted fireplaces are built flush into the wall to give a clean appearance, or you can choose to incorporate them into the wall to give them more depth. Certain models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series, even come with a trim skirt that allows you to conceal the firebox's protrusion. You can also customize the appearance of these units by selecting different LED background and flame color settings to match the space you have.

The primary drawback of wall-mounted freestanding electric fireplace is that it occupies the floor space. Also, since there is no option of mounting it into a wall recession, they tend to stick out slightly more than the traditional freestanding model that has mantel.

Cabinet

If you have a traditional wood-burning fireplace in your home, but do not use it, you can convert to an electric fireplace. There are different electric fireplaces that look like your fireplace and can be plugged into your existing firebox to instantly transform it into an electric fireplace.

It also comes with a heater that instantly provides warmth to the area. The remote included with the unit lets you manage all settings, including flame height, intensity, ember bed lighting, and heating.

However, we did notice that this model does not offer the same level of warmth as some of our other choices. This is due to it using convection instead of radiant heating.
