Wall-Mounted

Electric fireplaces that can be mounted to the wall are ideal for those who don’t want to cut into their walls or frame an opening. These fireplaces include mounting brackets that permit 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 may need help 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 and can be easily taken down when it’s time to move. They don’t even leave a hole on the wall.

Some models of wall-mounted fireplaces can be built in a flush fashion to give a clean appearance, or you can choose to incorporate them into the wall to give them more depth.

Some fireplaces that have mantels are able to be used without or with heating, allowing you to enjoy the flame effects all year long. They usually include a setting that controls the heat produced by the firebox if you decide to use them as heaters. You can typically adjust this with an remote control, Alexa, or a smartphone app. Some of the top electric fireplaces feature an option that detects when you are in the room, and turns the firebox on/off automatically.
