10 Meetups About Free Standing Electric Fireplace You Should Attend

Free Standing Electric stone fireplaces

There is no need to drill holes in your wall for a free-standing unit. The product is typically supplied with mounting brackets. The specifications will indicate how far apart they need to be spaced.

The CSA-certified fireplace has four heat settings as well as a display top that has plenty of space. It also has a cool to the touch exterior. It also has an overheat safety and an automatic shut-off.

Wall-Mounted

When it comes to electric fireplaces wall-mounted options are a great choice for those who want to put their fireplace in a wall without having to cut into the walls or frame an opening. These fireplaces come with mounting brackets, which permit you to put the fireplace directly onto the wall in the same way as flat-screen televisions or picture. It is possible to install them yourself, but you might require a second pair if the model is large. They are also ideal for those who rent their homes as they can be removed easily when it's time to move and don't cause a hole on the wall.

Most electric fireplaces that are wall-mounted can be installed into a wall recession to be flush with the wall to give a sleek appearance or to incorporate them into the recession partially to add depth. Certain models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series, have an edging skirt that allows you to conceal the firebox's protrusion. You can also alter these models' appearance by selecting different flame and LED background colors to match your decor.

A wall-mounted freestanding electric fireplace can take up a large amount of floor space. And because you can't mount it into an egress in the wall and it is prone to stand out more than a freestanding model that has a mantel. This isn't a major issue and something to consider when deciding on which type of fireplace is the best one for you.

Another benefit of having a wall-mounted electric fireplace is that you can place it in any room inside of your home. You can create a focal point in your living room, while adding some ambience. It's a great space to gather with friends and family. You can even mount one in the bedroom or office to create a cozy environment while you relax or work.

Mantel

Many of these electrical wooden fireplaces come with the appearance of a wood-burning fireplace. They're a good option for those who want the look of a built-in fireplace but don't need an architectural change to their home or want the high cost of installing one. They're also safe for children and pets to be around as they don't produce smoke or flames that could be hazardous for anyone who is near them.

Some fireplaces that have mantels are able to be used with or without heat, so you can enjoy the flame effects all year long. These models often come with a control to regulate the heat produced by the firebox if you decide to use them as heaters. You can adjust this with the remote control or Alexa. Some of the best electric fireplaces will even have a feature that can sense when you are in the room and automatically turn the firebox on or off.

Electric fireplaces are available in a variety of styles, from traditional and rustic to simple and modern. You're sure find one that matches your interior design. Some are built with a TV stand in mind, which means you can place your flat-screen television above it. If you choose to use this type of model it is recommended to select one with a width that's close to the same size or less than the height of your TV.

If you want to create a unique appearance, think about using a transparent electric fireplace. This is the only fireplace that allows you to see through it and into another room. This is an excellent option to divide rooms or if you just want the fireplace to be the focal feature of your living space.

There are electric ethanol fireplaces with mantels in various finishes, such as White Fireplace or whiskey maple. Some of these models have an optional built-in shelf that can be used to display vases, books or other items of decor. Some models also come with an alarm clock that can be set to shut off the unit after six hours.

Cabinet

If you have an old-fashioned wood burning fireplace in your home but don't use it, you can convert to an electric fireplace. Electric fireplaces that appear like a fireplace can be connected to your existing firebox to instantly transform it into an electric one. We tested a model that appears just like the log grate, and has built-in lighting that creates an effect of flames on your walls as well as a heater to provide instant heating for your room. The remote that comes with the unit allows you to manage all settings, including flame height, intensity, ember bed lighting, and heating.

Freestanding electric fireplaces, unlike wall-mounted ones, are portable and don't require permanent installation or mounting brackets. They can be moved around your home as you need and can be used with or without the built in heater. They also come with a stand to hold flat-screen TVs, and are designed to blend in with your decor. These are an excellent option for those who don't want to change their living spaces or don't have the space in their homes to install a mantel or recessed unit.

They're also a great option for apartments as they can be moved as you move to a new unit. Some models have a modern, less traditional appearance than a freestanding mantel but they are still able to bring a sense of style to any room. These are also more simple to utilize than wall-mounted units since you can plug them into and they will start working.

Another benefit of a cabinet-style electric fireplace is that it's simple to find one that is compatible with your home's color scheme. There are also options to match your flooring and walls so you don't need to paint them. Choose a fireplace that's easy to use, and safe for children and pets. It must also be easy to clean by simply wiping it clean with a damp cloth.

Freestanding

Like the name suggests, freestanding electric fireplaces can be set up in any room. Some have a base that adds to the look, while others are designed to sit on top of a flat surface.

The latter model like the Costway 20-inch Freestanding Electric Fireplace is one of our top picks. It has an elegant, rounded design that earned high scores in tests for its attractive looks. It's also fully functional right out of the box without assembly required. In addition to low and high heat settings, it has a timer you can set using the hidden control panel or through the remote.

During our testing, the flames were very realistic, and the logs were adorned with an authentic glow. The model is also notable due to its simple operation and simple controls: a power button, an adjustable heater as well as the temperature dial. This is beneficial because it lets you select your preferred setting without having to mess with the controls on the unit.

Another wonderful aspect of this freestanding model is the ability to run without the heating function. We found that the flames can produce an attractive glow even when the heater was off. This allows you to take pleasure in its warm and inviting appearance at any time of the year.

However, we did discover that this model does not offer the same level of warmth as our other options. This is because the heating method is convection, not radiant. Despite this it was still possible to feel the warmth up to 4.5 feet away. The unit comes with four different flame effects, and can be controlled by remote control. In terms of safety, this unit comes with overheat protection and remains cool to the top of its surface and bottom, allowing you to display decor items on it. It is also CSA Group-certified, and has a solid construction that held up against the abuse of our test subjects. This makes it an affordable and safe option for those who want to add a freestanding fireplace to their home.
