Wall-Mounted

When it comes to electric fireplaces wall-mounted models are a great option for those who wish to put their fireplace in a wall without cutting into the walls or frame an opening. These fireplaces come with mounting brackets that allow you to hang the fireplace directly on the wall just like an LCD or picture, and you can typically install it yourself - although you might need assistance from a second pair hands if the model is a bit larger. These units are also perfect for those who rent their homes, as they can be easily removed when it's time to move. They don't even leave a gap on the wall.

Most models of electric fireplaces for wall mounting can be placed into a wall recess so that they are completely flush with the wall for a sleek look or to build them into the recession partially to give them a bit of depth. Some models, such as the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series, even come with an edging skirt that lets you hide the firebox's protrusion. You can also customize the look of these units by choosing different LED and flame colors to fit your space.

The biggest drawback to a wall-mounted, freestanding electric fireplace is that it occupies the floor space, and since you don't have the option of mounting it into the wall, they tend to stick out more than a traditional freestanding model with a mantel. But this is a minor drawback and an important thing to take into consideration when deciding on which type of fireplace is best for you.
