\/>\n<h3><strong><b>What To Look For In a Wall-Mount Electric Fireplace<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Wall-mount electric fireplaces are great for installing in modern homes that lack an old fireplace. These types of fireplaces are designed to be recessed into the wall for a clean look.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike a fireplace insert that you can sometimes install yourself, you\u2019ll need a professional to install almost every wall-mount electric fireplace.<\/p>\n<p>This is because you&#8217;ll need to cut a hole in the wall to install the fireplace.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, most wall-mount electric fireplaces look better when hard-wired, something that only a licensed pro should handle.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most important things to consider when buying a wall-mount electric fireplace is its size. These fireplaces tend to be wider than fireplace inserts with some<strong> measuring 70\u201d\u2014the<\/strong> smallest measure around 35\u201d long.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you need to check the depth of each unit to get an idea of how much space you need to make in the wall to flush-mount it.<\/p>\n<p>Most electric fireplaces have a <strong>contemporary design<\/strong>. Often the flames and ember bed are designed with modern\/futuristic effects. But you can also find a few with the more traditional yellow flame effects and faux logs.<\/p>\n<p>If you are not sure which style is perfect for your home, get a versatile electric fireplace with multiple flame effect settings. Some models also give you the option of using <strong>crystals or faux logs for the ember bed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finally, decide whether you want an electric fireplace with heat or no heat. If you want one with supplemental heat, make sure you find one with adequate heating capacity for the room.<\/p>\n<p>Here are our top picks for wall-mounted electric fireplaces:<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong><b>1.

It looks great however you decide to install it. The black trim and glass front looks especially amazing even with the flame and ember effects turned off.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Note:<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0If you want a bigger or smaller wall mount, the Dimplex Prism is also available in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimplex.com\/en\/electric_fireplaces\/wallmounts\/products\/blf7451\/prism_series_74_wallmount\">74\u201d<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimplex.com\/en\/electric_fireplaces\/wallmounts\/products\/blf3451\/prism_series_34_wallmount\">34\u201d<\/a> versions.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><b>Flame Effects <\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B015O70WP6\/?tag=electricfireplaceinserts00a0-20\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-914 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topratedfireplaceinserts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/71RUoOq6gGL._SL1500_-1024x287.jpg\" alt=\"Best Electric Fireplace\" width=\"900\" height=\"252\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Talking of flame effects, Dimplex uses patented<strong> 3D LED technology<\/strong> to create an ultra-realistic look. The flames flicker and dance about like it\u2019s a real fire. It also comes with an acrylic ember bed that sparkles and glows as the diamond-shaped pieces reflect light.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t like the default <strong>yellowish flame effects<\/strong>, you can cycle through other color options using the included remote control. You can also change the color of the ember bed.<\/p>\n<p>The remote control also lets you change the brightness between<strong> L (low) and H (high).<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong><b>Supplemental Heat <\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B015O70WP6\/?tag=electricfireplaceinserts00a0-20\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-915 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topratedfireplaceinserts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/A14Y0uvOvWL._SL1500_-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Best Electric Fireplace\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Dimplex Prism comes with a fan-forced heater with a capacity of<strong> 4,198 BTU<\/strong>.

If you want more precise control, use the thermostat + and \u2013 buttons to set a specific temperature.<\/p>\n<p>Once the heater gets to the right temperature, it cycles on and off to maintain it.<\/p>\n<p>You can also completely disable the heat function, leaving only the flame effects. The opposite is also possible: turn on the heat function without the flame and ember effects.<\/p>\n<p>This lets you enjoy the fireplace through all seasons.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><b>Pros <\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Great design and realistic flame effects.<\/li>\n<li>Multiple flame and ember effects options.<\/li>\n<li>Supplemental heat with versatile settings.<\/li>\n<li>Flexible installation options \u2013 plugged in\/hardwired, wall-mounted\/recessed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong><b>Cons <\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>The heater is only ideal for small and mid-size rooms of up to 400 square feet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong><b>Specifications <\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><b>Dimensions<\/b><\/strong>: 19.5&#8243; height x 50.25&#8243; width x 7&#8243; depth<\/li>\n<li><strong><b>Installation: <\/b><\/strong>plugged in or hard wired<\/li>\n<li><strong><b>Timer:\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>yes (30mins to 8 hours)<\/li>\n<li><strong><b>Remote control:\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>yes<\/li>\n<li><strong><b>Supplemental heat:\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>yes (4,198 BTUs)<\/li>\n<li><strong><b> Warranty:\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>2 years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B015O70WP6\/?tag=electricfireplaceinserts00a0-20\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-300 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topratedfireplaceinserts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/buy-now1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"188\" height=\"57\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong><b>2.

So you can safely plug it in a standard outlet (but make sure the total draw on the circuit is not too high).<\/p>\n<p>But for a cleaner look, I recommend hardwiring it.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to install this fireplace is by recessing it into the wall. But if you cannot or don\u2019t want to make a hole in the wall, you can also mount it on the surface.<\/p>\n<p>For installation purposes, the fireplace measures<strong> 50.4 inches wide, 5.5 inches deep, and 21.5 inches high.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong><b>Flame Effects <\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Which fireplace look do you want?

They look <strong>very realistic<\/strong> and create a <strong>cozy feel.<\/strong> But I recommend trying both to see which one feels and looks best for your home.<\/p>\n<p>As for the flames, you have five style options to choose from using the included remote control. You can opt for <strong>traditional-style mellow flames<\/strong> that are yellow or switch to a more contemporary blue flame effect and several others in between.<\/p>\n<p>You can also change the flame intensity from a<strong> raging blaze to a slow-burning fire<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><b>Supplemental Heat <\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Touchstone wall-recessed electric fireplace comes with an integrated fan-forced heater.

You can only choose between high and low heat.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s too hot outside, you can turn the heat off completely and just leave the flame effects on.

It can be set up freestanding anywhere on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>It requires a bit of time to assemble the mantel, but it\u2019s something you can do yourself. You don\u2019t have to hire a pro unless you plan to hardwire it into a circuit (most can be plugged into a standard outlet, and it\u2019s easy to hide the cord).<\/p>\n<p>When you are shopping for a mantle style fireplace, choose a style that will look great in your home.<\/p>\n<p>The mantle is usually made from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livspace.com\/in\/magazine\/mdf-vs-plywood-comparison\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>wood or MDF<\/strong>.<\/a> Most models will add extra touches such as columns on either<strong> side, traditional style trimming, and patterned grooves.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most are finished in a shade of brown, but you can also get white and black ones if you prefer a more modern look.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to check the size and make sure it will fit in your home.<\/p>\n<p>Most mantel-style fireplaces are around <strong>50\u201d wide<\/strong>. But there are also smaller ones that measure 40\u201d wide and extra-large ones that are<strong> up to 70\u201d wide.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Check whether the mantle can also double up as a <strong>TV stand<\/strong>. If it can, check the maximum TV size and weight it can support.<\/p>\n<p>Also, check the <strong>amount of storage <\/strong>that you&#8217;ll get. We love mantle style electric fireplaces that include multiple shelves to store your media equipment, books, and decorative items like vases and picture frames.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for a fireplace with a heater, make sure the heater will cover the room adequately. Most electric fireplaces with heaters are only<strong> ideal for small and mid-size rooms.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As for prices, they range from<strong> $400 to $1,500<\/strong> depending on <strong>size, style, features, and heater capacity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here are the best mantle style and TV stand electric fireplaces you can buy online.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong><b>1.

They are designed to be inserted into an existing fireplace with minimal modification.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to install any fuel lines or ventilation. In most cases, you can<strong> install the insert<\/strong> yourself.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most important things to look at when choosing an electric fireplace insert is the size. Make sure the dimensions of that particular model line up with the size of your empty fireplace.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s okay if it is <strong>slightly smaller<\/strong>. Most inserts come with trimming to hide any gaps. You can also<strong> DIY your trimming.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But it shouldn\u2019t be bigger than the fireplace.<\/p>\n<p>Also, check what kind of power setup the fireplace requires. Most inserts with a<strong> 1400W or 1500W heater<\/strong> can be plugged in. If the insert has a more powerful heater to cover large spaces, you\u2019ll need to get it hardwired.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the heater capacity, most homeowners prefer hardwiring because it hides away messy cords. You\u2019ll need to hire a licensed electrician to wire it directly to a dedicated circuit.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, consider the aesthetics. Do you want a traditional or modern insert? Would you like to be able to change flame color and intensity?<\/p>\n<p>And as with any other type of electric fireplace, make sure the flames and logs look realistic.<\/p>\n<p>Here are our most favorite electric fireplace inserts.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong><b>1.

Check to make sure it\u2019ll fit in your fireplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Dimplex Revillusion electric fireplace comes with remote control for adjusting flame effects, surrounding lighting, and heat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Flame Effects<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the flames are not as realistic as those of Dimplex Opti Myst electric fireplaces, they look pretty real, especially from a distance. They provide the same ambiance as a real fire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The logs, which are cast from actual hardwood, also look very real. The glowing logs are set on a grate with burning embers underneath.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To complete the traditional aesthetic, the interior of the firebox has a weathered concrete aesthetic. It even has soot markings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also love the surrounding mood lighting. It enhances the overall look of the interior, flames, and logs. You can adjust the mood lighting through three modes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something else you can adjust is flame brightness. You can make the flames brighter during the day for better visibility and dimmer at night. You also have the option of activating a built-in ambient light sensor. It\u2019ll automatically adjust the brightness based on the amount of ambient light in the room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also adjust the flame colors between red and blue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Supplemental Heat<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When hardwired to a 240V circuit, the built-in heater has an output of 2,575W, which equates to 8,800 BTUs of heat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s enough for a large room, such as an open style living area, or multiple smaller rooms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we mentioned, you can plug it in if you don&#8217;t want the hassle of hardwiring. You\u2019ll need to order a plug kit separately. When plugged into a 120V outlet, heat output is a lower 1,440W or 4,400 BTUs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The heater comes with a thermostat. Using the remote control, you can adjust room temperature between 41 and 99 degrees Fahrenheit. That\u2019s a pretty wide range.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High heat output.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thermostat control with a wide temperature range.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Realistic flames, logs, and interior.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Includes mood lighting.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remote control with plenty of options for flames, heat, and mood lighting.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expensive.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Requires professional installation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Specifications<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Dimensions: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">37.3\u201dW x 31\u201dH x 12.1\u201dD<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Installation: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardwired or Plug-in (requires separate plugin kit)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Timer: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Remote control: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Supplemental heat: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes (8800 BTUs at 240V, 4400 BTUs at 120V)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07XZKPWL1\/?tag=electricfireplaceinserts00a0-20\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-300\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topratedfireplaceinserts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/buy-now1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"188\" height=\"57\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Best Freestanding Electric Fireplace Stoves<\/h2>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-8\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-8 tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\"><strong>Product<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"column-2\"><strong>Award &amp;

Measure the size of the space you have available and look for a fireplace that will fit.<\/p>\n<p>There are <strong>many<\/strong> <strong>different styles of freestanding electric fireplaces<\/strong>. Most look like vintage stoves complete with claw feet and a beautiful metal frame.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to check other essentials like whether there\u2019s a heater, how powerful it is, and whether you can change the heater settings and flame effects.<\/p>\n<p>Here ar<strong>e some top-selling free-standing electric fireplaces<\/strong> we highly recommend.

It has a beautiful vintage finish that works with almost any d\u00e9cor. Stylish touches like the ring handle at the front, the pillars on the sides, and the contoured feet add to a cozy and realistic feel.<\/p>\n<p>The fireplace also functions as a<strong> space heater (400 square feet max)<\/strong>, but you can enjoy the flames without the heat.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><b>Installation and Setup <\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This is a <strong>plug-in electric fireplace<\/strong>. All you need to do is find a suitable place for it in the room and plug it in.<\/p>\n<p>No installation needed.<\/p>\n<p>Because the surface doesn\u2019t get hot, you can place the fireplace anywhere without worrying that your kids or pet will touch it.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><b>Flame Effects <\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The flames and logs <strong>look pretty good<\/strong>.

It\u2019s also a great choice for apartments, as it takes up little space and plugs into a standard outlet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Installation and Setup<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no installation required. The Duraflame 3D requires just a quick 5-minute assembly and plugs into a standard outlet. There\u2019s no mounting, recessing or hardwiring needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of size, the Duraflame 3D electric fireplace stove is only two feet wide and slightly over 1 foot deep. It\u2019s perfect for small spaces that don&#8217;t have room for a big mantle style fireplace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Duraflame 3D is available in several styles including black, navy, grey and cream. So you can get one that matches your style and decor. Some of the options even include a crackler for a more realistic wood stove effect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Duraflame 3D stove comes with a remote control to adjust the heat and flame effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Flame Effects<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stove has a 3D flame effect that makes it appear as if the flames are coming from within and behind the logs, just like a real fire would.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combined with the glowing and charred faux logs, the whole setup looks very realistic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One design feature we absolutely love is the 3-sided viewing. There\u2019s glass on the front and sides of the stove, allowing you to view the flames no matter where you are seated. Everyone in the room can enjoy the cozy ambiance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I mentioned, you can opt for an option that comes with a crackler. It\u2019s a small device that produces a wood crackling sound effect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Supplemental Heat\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Duraflame 3D electric fireplace stove has a standard 1500W heater. But it\u2019s an infrared heater, not a fan-forced one like in most electric fireplaces. It has two benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One, the infrared heater warms a larger area than a fan-forced heater does. The manufacturer claims coverage of 1000 square feet, though many customers say it works best in a 600-800sf or less space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, it doesn&#8217;t dry out the air as a fan-forced heater does.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another great thing about the Duraflame 3D heater is that it offers thermostatic temperature control.

You\u2019ll especially appreciate the ability to dim it if you plan to place the stove in your bedroom. You can reduce brightness to a more sleep-friendly level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the way, you can also turn off the heater and leave just the flames on.

This makes it feel like you are getting warmth from the \u2018fire.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Others go a step further and<strong> integrate crackling sounds<\/strong> to simulate the sound of sparks and burning logs.<\/p>\n<p>Different brands use different technologies to create fake flames. Most use<strong> LED light<\/strong>.

You then insert the fireplace into the <strong>allotted space and plug it in.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong><b>Advantages of an Electric Fireplace<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><b>Easy installation. <\/b><\/strong>Electric fireplaces don\u2019t need ventilation or fuel lines. This makes them so much <strong>easier and cheaper to install<\/strong>. Most electric fireplaces can be installed without hiring a pro.<\/li>\n<li><strong><b>No pollution. <\/b><\/strong>An electric fireplace doesn\u2019t produce any pollution and hazardous emissions. It\u2019s safe for your family\u2019s health, and it\u2019s good for the environment.<\/li>\n<li><strong><b>Minimal maintenance. <\/b><\/strong>Electric fireplaces require almost no maintenance. Most use LED lights, which last very long before they need replacements.<\/li>\n<li><strong><b>Easy portability. <\/b><\/strong>It\u2019s easy to move an electric fireplace to another room or house without having to do any remodeling.<\/li>\n<li>They are <strong>more energy-efficient.<\/strong> Electric fireplaces are more economical to use.<\/li>\n<li>Safer for<strong> kids and pets<\/strong>. Since there is no actual fire, electric fireplaces are cool to the touch. The only exception is the heater area, which can sometimes get hot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong><b>Features to Consider When Buying an Electric Fireplace<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong><b>Are You Going to Install it Outside or Inside? \u00a0<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Most electric fireplaces are designed for indoor use only.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to use it outside, look for those that are<strong> rated for outdoor use<\/strong>. The manufacturer will most likely specify that it has to be used in a covered area such as the porch.<\/p>\n<p>Note that the heater of an electric fireplace will be<strong> less effective outdoors.<\/strong> When you take the fireplace outside, turn off the heat and leave only the flames on to save energy.<\/p>\n<p>Type of Electric Fireplace: <strong>Wall Mount, Insert, Mantle, TV Stand, or Freestanding<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>The best type of electric fireplace will depend on your situation and aesthetic preferences.<\/p>\n<p>If you have an old fireplace, an insert is a good choice. If you don\u2019t have an existing fireplace, you can get a <strong>wall-mounted or wall-recessed electric fireplace.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For those who don\u2019t want the fireplace on the wall, a mantle-style or TV stand electric fireplace is a good choice.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Size <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The best size will also depend on your situation and aesthetic preferences.<\/p>\n<p>If you are planning to get an electric fireplace insert, you are limited to those that can fit in your old fireplace.<\/p>\n<p>If you are thinking about a TV stand or mantle-style fireplace, you have to consider how much floor space you have in the room.<\/p>\n<p>TV stand fireplaces generally tend to be the <strong>smallest<\/strong>. The TV stand itself could be around <strong>50\u201d wide<\/strong>, but the fireplace is only <strong>18\u201d- 25\u201d wide.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Electric fireplace inserts range <strong>between 25\u201d to 50\u201d<\/strong>. Wall-mounted electric fireplaces can be as <strong>wide as 70\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Construction <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Most electric fireplaces consist mostly of <strong>metal framing and a glass front<\/strong>. A few electric fireplaces use hard plastic.<\/p>\n<h3>Power Supply<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to the power supply, there are<strong> two types of electric fireplaces<\/strong>. There are plug-in models, which are the most popular and hardwired models which require professional installation.<\/p>\n<p>The type of power supply usually depends on the heater capacity.<\/p>\n<p>For fireplaces with heaters for spaces<strong> up to 400 square feet<\/strong>, the manufacturer usually recommends plug-in installation.<\/p>\n<p>For fireplaces with more powerful heaters that larger rooms of <strong>up to 1,000 square feet or more<\/strong>, the manufacturer will often require that they are hardwired to a direct circuit.<\/p>\n<p>There are <strong>no battery-powered electric fireplaces<\/strong>. At least as far as I know.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Style: Modern, Log Style, or Traditional?<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s up to you to decide which fireplace style will look great in your home.<\/p>\n<p>Modern electric fireplaces tend to have a crystal or glass ember bed and bluish flames. Most walls mounted and recessed electric fireplaces have a modern style.<\/p>\n<p>Traditional models use faux logs and have yellow flames.<strong> Most electric fireplace inserts, mantle-style fireplaces, and TV stand fireplaces<\/strong> have a traditional style.<\/p>\n<p>There are also log inserts that consist only of a <strong>grate and faux logs<\/strong>. There\u2019s no metal frame or glass front. They have a cozy traditional feel and style.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Heating: Output &amp; Control <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you want the full fireplace experience \u2013 that is,<strong> flames + heat \u2013 look<\/strong> for a model that has an integrated heater.<\/p>\n<p>An electric fireplace with a heater is <strong>great for single room heating<\/strong>. It can even save you some energy because you don\u2019t have to use your AC as often when it\u2019s cold.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to check the heater output before buying. This will help you determine whether it\u2019s strong enough to warm up the room it will be installed in.<\/p>\n<p>Most electric fireplaces have <strong>1500W heaters<\/strong> that can warm spaces of up to 400 square feet. Infrared heaters of the same wattage can warm a slightly bigger space.<\/p>\n<p>Higher-wattage heaters can warm rooms of up to <strong>1000 square feet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another thing to check is whether the heat controls are separate from the flame controls. You should be able to change the temperature and<strong> turn the heat on\/off separately<\/strong> from the flame effects.<\/p>\n<p>This ensures you can enjoy the fireplace all year round. During the warm seasons, you can still enjoy the beautiful flames while <strong>leaving the heat off<\/strong>. When it gets cold, you can enjoy both the flames and warmth.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Installation: Professional or DIY?<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can install most types of electric fireplaces yourself. The only time you\u2019ll need to hire a pro is if the fireplace needs to be hardwired or recessed into the wall.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Verified Owner Reviews<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Check what kind of reviews the fireplace has. What do users say about things like assembling the insert, installation, heat output, controls, and flame effects?<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Remote Control <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The remote control is not a must-have, but it\u2019s convenient. You don\u2019t have to keep getting up from the couch to <strong>change a setting or turn the fireplace on\/off.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s especially handy if the fireplace has lots of features and options like <strong>flame colors, flame intensity, and thermostat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Flame Effects<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Electric fireplaces with flame effects are great because you can change the fireplace style on the fly to suit different moods and occasions.<\/p>\n<p>Feeling upbeat? Get the flames burning faster and brighter.<\/p>\n<p>Want to relax after a long day? Set the flames to a gentle campfire, dim the fireplace brightness, and select a relaxing flame color.<\/p>\n<p>Different fireplace inserts have<strong> different types of effects<\/strong>. For some, you can change the flame color, intensity, and brightness. For others, you can only change one thing, like the color.<\/p>\n<p>Some budget electric fireplaces don\u2019t offer any flame effect options at all.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Warranty <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The standard warranty for most electric fireplaces is one year. A few come with<strong> two or 3-year warranties.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong><b>Other Buying Considerations <\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong><b>Price <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Electric fireplace costs range widely depending on the type, size, and features.<\/p>\n<p>The cheapest models cost<strong> around $200<\/strong>. They offer only basic features, including a heater and realistic flames.<\/p>\n<p>Mid-range electric fireplaces offer more features such as thermostat control and flame effect options.<\/p>\n<p>On the higher end of the scale are <strong>large models (50\u201d+)<\/strong> that come with powerful heaters and a wide range of options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wall-mounted\/recessed electric fireplaces<\/strong> tend to be the most expensive, while electric fireplace inserts usually cost less.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Cost to Install <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When you are considering how much to spend on an electric fireplace insert, don\u2019t forget to include the cost of installation.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, most electric fireplaces don\u2019t need professional installation. You can install it yourself for free.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you are buying an electric fireplace that needs to be recessed into the wall or hardwired to a circuit, you\u2019ll need to hire a pro\u2014Factor the extra costs into your overall budget.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Electrical or Construction Permit Required?<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Electrical and construction permits are rarely required when installing an electric fireplace. This is because installation doesn\u2019t involve major remodeling, gas lines, or electrical work.<\/p>\n<p>With plug-in electric fireplaces, you don\u2019t need a permit.<\/p>\n<p>With hardwired and recessed fireplaces, you also don\u2019t need a permit in most cases. But check the local building and zoning laws to be sure.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/modernblaze.com\/blogs\/installation-guides\/how-to-install-an-electric-fireplace-insert-video\"><strong><b>How to Install an Electric Fireplace Safely<\/b><\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Before you <strong>install any type of electric fireplace<\/strong>, check the user manual for manufacturer instructions on power requirements.<\/p>\n<p>You should only connect the fireplace to an outlet or circuit that can handle the fireplace\u2019s wattage and maximum current draw.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Installing an Electric Fireplace Insert <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong><b>1. Preparing the existing fireplace <\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>First, make sure no water will come in through the chimney. If it doesn\u2019t have a rain cap, install a cover plate. Close and seal the damper to prevent heat loss. Finally, clean out the fireplace in preparation for the new insert.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><b>2. Get out your tape measure<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Take measurements of the current fireplace and look for an insert that will fit.<\/p>\n<p>When looking for the right insert, there are two kinds of measurements to look at.<\/p>\n<p>First, the overall dimensions of the fireplace insert, including the trim kit, if there\u2019s one. Second, the dimensions of the firebox.<\/p>\n<p>The firebox should be the<strong> same size or slightly smaller<\/strong> than the fireplace. The trim kit will cover any<strong> gaps on the side.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the firebox is too short, you can position it on a platform or raise it using leveling bolts if it has them.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><b>3. Sort out the power \u00a0<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If the fireplace is a plug-in, figure out how you are going to connect the cable to an outlet.<\/p>\n<p>Some fireplaces have a trap door at the bottom where you can run the cable to an outlet in the basement.<\/p>\n<p>You can also ask an electrician to add an outlet inside the fireplace.<\/p>\n<p>Another option if you don\u2019t want any messy cables hanging about is to hardwire the insert. This is mandatory for certain inserts that have high-wattage heaters.<\/p>\n<p>If you need to hardwire the insert, hire a licensed electrician to do it.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><b>4. Insert the fireplace <\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>With the power supply sorted out, position the insert inside the fireplace, making sure it <strong>fits securely.<\/strong> Turn it on and enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>When you first turn it on, try out all the features available to make sure they work. If something doesn\u2019t seem right, check the manual\u2019s troubleshooting section or contact customer support.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Installing a Wall Mounted or Recessed Electric Fireplace <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Wall-mounted electric fireplaces are fairly easy to install. You just need to secure the fireplace to the wall using the mounting kit provided and then plug it into an outlet.<\/p>\n<p>If it needs to be hardwired, you need to get a pro to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Installing a wall-recessed electric fireplace is a bit more complicated since you have to cut a space into the wall.<\/p>\n<p>If you have some <strong>DIY skills and experience<\/strong>, you can do it yourself (except the hardwiring part, if it\u2019s necessary).<\/p>\n<p>But I recommend getting a professional to do the entire installation safely and properly.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to find a non-load-bearing wall to cut into, cut out the <strong>right sized space from the wall<\/strong> (you may also need to cut away some studs), and then screw the fireplace into the wall.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a video showing how to install a recessed electric fireplace.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to install recessed Electric Wall Mount Fireplace\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ce1W2J2zzRc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s another one by Dimplex showing different techniques for installing linear wall recessed electric fireplaces.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Install a Linear Electric Fireplace | Dimplex\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cL6n78j6laA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><strong><b>Installing a TV Stand or Mantel-Style Electric Fireplace <\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>These are some of the easiest electric fireplaces to install. This is because there\u2019s essentially no installation required.<\/p>\n<p>The only bit of work involved in assembling the <strong>TV stand or mantel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most models are plug-in, so you don\u2019t have to worry about getting a pro to hardwire it.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/gaslogguys.shopperschoice.com\/fireplace-learning-center\/tips-techniques\/how-to-clean-an-electric-fireplace\"><strong><b>Electric Fireplace Maintenance: What to Expect<\/b><\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>One of the main advantages of electric fireplaces is that they are a breeze to maintain. There are only two things you need to do: clean the fireplace regularly and change the bulbs.<\/p>\n<p>Before cleaning, first, disconnect the power supply. Then <strong>remove the glass front<\/strong> (check the manual for instructions) and use a soft microfiber cloth to wipe down the inside and outside. You may need to <strong>remove the fireplace media (faux logs or crystals)<\/strong> before cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use a vacuum attachment to get rid of dust and other debris that has accumulated inside the fireplace.<\/p>\n<p>As for the bulbs, most manufacturers recommend changing them <strong>every 2-3 years<\/strong>. Make sure you replace the bulbs with manufacturer-approved ones.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong><b>Frequently Asked Questions About Electric Fireplaces<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong><b>Are electric fireplace heaters energy efficient?<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, they are. Unlike gas and wood fireplaces that lose a lot of the heat they produce, heaters in electric fireplaces convert most of the electrical power into heat.<\/p>\n<p>And since they don\u2019t require a chimney or ventilation, all the heat is directed into the room.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>How much power does an electric fireplace use? <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Electric fireplaces are <strong>inexpensive to run<\/strong>, whether you leave the heat on or not.<\/p>\n<p>With only the flame effects turned on, they cost about<strong> $0.02 an hour to run<\/strong>. With heat and flame effects on, they cost about <strong>8-18 cents per hour.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The total power usage will depend on how often you use the electric fireplace in heat mode. But even if you turn on the heater every day for a few hours, the overall power usage is still fairly low.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Can you use an electric fireplace on the carpet? <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Electric fireplaces don\u2019t produce any actual fire. So they are safe for use on any flat and stable surface, including rugs and carpets.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Can Electric fireplaces have real flames?<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>No.<\/p>\n<p>They simulate the effect of real frames by refracting LED lights. Some models play a high-definition video or animation of a flame.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Do electric fireplaces heat a room?<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As long as the fireplace has an integrated heater, it can heat a room.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the effectiveness of the heater will depend on the size of the house. That\u2019s why it is important to check the heater capacity before buying an electric fireplace.<\/p>\n<p>Most heaters are rated at <strong>1500W<\/strong> and can heat rooms of up to<strong> 400 square feet.<\/strong> Pricier fireplaces can have more powerful heaters for spaces up to <strong>1,000 square feet or bigger.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When installing the fireplace, make sure you don\u2019t block the vent at the front where the heat comes out.<\/p>\n<p>Also, check that the fireplace is at the right height and position to ensure the heat is directed towards the main sitting area.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Are electric fireplace inserts safe?<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Electric fireplaces are much <strong>safer than wood and gas fireplaces<\/strong>. There\u2019s no pollution or emissions, and the risk of a fire is low.<\/p>\n<p>They are also cool to the touch except for the heater vent, which you should teach kids not to touch.<\/p>\n<p>As with any other electrical gadget, there are some common-sense safety tips to follow.<\/p>\n<p>One, make sure the outlet or circuit the fireplace is connected to can handle the voltage. If you use an outlet that is on the same circuit as other appliances, it could result in an overload, which is a fire hazard.<\/p>\n<p>Two, never use an <strong>extension cord or power strip.<\/strong> If you have to, make sure it adheres to the manufacturer\u2019s power requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Three, make sure that any vent, whether it\u2019s for air intake or output, is not blocked.<\/p>\n<p>Check the owner\u2019s manual for additional safety instructions.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Are infrared heaters cost-effective?<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, they are.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Compared to fan-forced heaters<\/strong> that use a blower to force heated air around the room, infrared heaters heat only space directly in front of them.<\/p>\n<p>There is<strong> less heat wasted<\/strong> and hence more energy saved.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Which is more efficient between a gas and electric fireplace?<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>An electric fireplace is<strong> more efficient.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A gas fireplace uses more energy to<strong> create the flame and produce heat.<\/strong> An electric fireplace, on the other hand, uses most of its electricity to produce heat and very little to create realistic flame effects.<\/p>\n<p>A gas fireplace costs <strong>about $350<\/strong> a year to run. An electric fireplace costs around <strong>$50-$120<\/strong> depending on heater capacity and how often the heater is turned on.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong><b>How to Get the Best Deal on an Electric Fireplace<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Occasions such as <strong>Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Christmas<\/strong> are the best times to buy an electric fireplace.<\/p>\n<p>Sellers on major retail sites like Amazon, as well as in big box stores, offer deep discounts.<\/p>\n<p>Some brands also offer discounts just before the cold season begins to incentivize customers to buy an electric fireplace in preparation for the chill.<\/p>\n<p>Most discounts are modest \u2013 <strong>10-20% off<\/strong> \u2013 but on special occasions like Black Friday, you can get up to 50% off.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong><b>Where to Buy<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You can get an electric fireplace online, your local big-box retailer, or at a<strong> local furniture specialist<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Furniture specialists tend to be the <strong>most expensive,<\/strong> but they can be very helpful in helping you find the best electric fireplace for your needs. Some also offer complimentary installation.<\/p>\n<p>Big box retailers are cheaper, and you can get a<strong> wider variety of electric fireplaces<\/strong>. The downside is that there may not be a specialist who can help you find exactly what you are looking for.<\/p>\n<p>You also have to set aside several hours to go to the store, choose an electric fireplace and transport it back home.<\/p>\n<p>Buying online has many advantages.<\/p>\n<p>For one, there is a huge variety of electric fireplaces to choose from.
