Wall-Mounted

When it comes to electric fireplaces wall-mounted models 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 have mounting brackets that allow you to put the fireplace directly on a wall just like a picture or flat-screen TV, and you can typically install it yourself - although you may require assistance from a second pair of hands if the model is a bit larger. They're also great for those who rent their homes as they are easy to remove when it's time to move and don't create a hole in the wall.

Most models of wall-mounted electric fireplaces can be built into a wall recession so that they're completely flush with the wall for a sleek look or to build them into the recession in part for some added depth. Some models, such as the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series, have an edging skirt that lets you hide the protrusion of the firebox. You can also change the units' looks by selecting different LED background and flame colors to match your decor.

The primary drawback of a wall-mounted free standing electric fireplace is that it occupies floor space, and because you don't have the option of mounting it into the wall the fireplaces tend to extend more than a traditional freestanding model with a mantel.
