They are also great for those who rent their homes, as they can be easily taken down when it's time to move. They don't leave a hole on the wall.

Most wall-mounted electric fireplaces can be built into a wall recession so that they are completely flush with the wall for a sleek appearance or to integrate them into the recession partially to add depth. Some models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series come with a trim skirt that can hide the protrusion from the fireplace. You can also alter the look of these units by choosing different flame and LED background color settings to match your decor.

A wall-mounted freestanding electric fireplace can take up a lot of floor space.

During testing, we found the flames to be particularly realistic, and the logs glowed with an almost real-fire look.

This dial is beneficial since it lets you select the settings you prefer without having to mess around with the controls.

Another excellent characteristic of this model that is freestanding is that it can operate without heating. In fact, we discovered that the flames can create a lovely ambient glow even when the heater is turned off. This lets you take advantage of its warm and cozy appearance at any time of the year.

However, we did notice that this model does not deliver the same level of warmth as some of our other choices. This is because the heating method is convection, not radiant. However it was still possible to feel the warmth up to 4.5 feet away. The temperature settings of this device can be adjusted via the remote control, and there are four different flame effects to choose from. In terms of safety, this unit has overheat protection and stays cool to the top of its hood and bottom, allowing you to display decorations on it. It is also CSA Group certified and has a sturdy construction that withstands the pounding of our testers.
