Wall-Mounted

When it comes to electric fireplaces, wall-mounted options are an excellent option for those looking to install their fireplace without cutting into the walls or frame an opening. These fireplaces have brackets for mounting that allow you to put the fireplace directly on a wall just like an LCD or picture and are able to install it yourself, although you may require assistance from a second pair of hands if the model is larger than the norm. They are also great for those who rent their home and can be easily removed when it's time to move. They don't leave a hole on the wall.

Certain models of wall-mounted fireplaces can be built in a flush fashion to give a sleek appearance or to build them partially into the wall recession for added depth. Some models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series come with a trim skirt to cover the protrusion of the firebox. You can also customize the appearance of these units by choosing different LED background and flame colors to fit the space you have.

The primary drawback of a wall-mounted free standing electric fireplace is that it takes up the floor space, and since there is no option of mounting it into a wall recession, they tend to be slightly more than a traditional freestanding model with mantel. This is a minor disadvantage and should be taken into consideration when deciding on the best type of fireplace for you.

A wall-mounted electric fire can be mounted in any room of your home.

In terms of safety, this model has overheat protection and stays cool to the touch on its top which means you can put decorative items on it.
