Size

If you love the appearance of a traditional fireplace, but do not have room for a full-sized hearth and chimney, a wall-mounted electric fireplace offers a stylish alternative. They can save space on the floor because they can be mounted on flat surfaces. They can be used all year round by plugging into an electrical outlet. The majority of models come with a remote control for easy on/off operation. Some models also come with flame displays and decorative embers. These models are available in different sizes and designs.

The majority of electric fireplaces mounted on walls are slim. However there are plenty of linear options that extend across the entire wall fires electric. They are ideal for rooms with low-ceilings, and can be used to create a cozy focal piece that doesn't take much space.

Electric fireplaces can also be erected on flat walls, much like a wood fireplace. These units are available in frames in a variety of colors ranging from black to mirror glass and stainless steel. Choose a frame that matches your wall or existing furniture. Some models include a flat-screen television which makes them an entertainment system in one.

Many people opt for this method by putting their TV on top of their fireplace. This is a good option however, be aware of the requirements for clearance between the TV and the electric fireplace. Most clearance guidelines suggest keeping all combustible items at least three feet away from the fireplace.

Some of these models can be recessed into a wall to create a custom fit. This kind of fireplace may not have the same amount of heat as a straight-front wall mount but it is perfect for a custom installation. There are also electric fireplaces designed to be mounted on the wall and then hung against the ceiling. These units are ideal for commercial settings like restaurant lobbies or hotel lobbies.

Many of these models offer different heat output settings which you can adjust according to the season. Some models can be turned off for year-round use without sacrificing the appealing flame effect. Some also have a no-heat setting that only warms the surrounding area for added comfort. These options are ideal for homes with pets and children, since the fireplace doesn't generate any heat.

Flame Effects

A lot of electric fireplaces feature various flame effects that are designed to mimic a real fire. These features are usually coupled with LED backgrounds to create a more realistic look that can easily blend in with different styles of interior decor. Many models also allow you to change the flame color and intensity to match your mood or the atmosphere of the room.

A chemical-based flame effect is a more conventional alternative. It mimics the behavior and appearance of a natural fire. These units make use of an evaporation can of chemical liquid that is heated within the unit in order to produce fire. These units can be messy and require lots of maintenance.

A different option to chemical flames is the plasma blaze effect, which is composed of tiny particles that flicker and glow to mimic the appearance of a real fire. The problem with this type of flame simulation is that it may appear too fake and may not be as appealing visually as other options.

If you prefer a more natural looking flame, there are wall mount electric fireplaces that offer realistic log sets and a realistic-looking holographic flame projection to create an extremely realistic appearance. These fireplaces are usually coated in rust or wood and blend well with traditional designs for interiors. They can be set in recesses to create an individualized appearance that blends with various wall designs.

Choosing the right model for your space will be based on the dimensions of the room as well as your personal preferences. For rooms that are larger, you'll prefer a larger model that will fill the space and not make it appear empty. If you're installing the fireplace in a smaller room, a compact or mini-model is a better choice. You can also choose from an array of frames and surrounds for these electric fireplaces that will fit your design. For instance the AL45CLX2-G wall mount electric fireplace from Ambiance comes in a number of different finishes like stainless steel, flat black metal, and standard black glass that will fit into most 2 x 4 walls.

Ventilation

Wall-mounted electric fireplaces offer many styles and function without the hassle of installing a real fireplace. There is no need to hire an electrician, you don't need a chimney, and you don't have to think about running gas lines through your home. There are a few considerations to take into consideration when choosing an electric fireplace that is wall-mounted.

The venting system is among the biggest differences between wall-mounted fireplaces as well as freestanding ones. Many wall-mounted units do not have a vent in the back. This is because most of the heat comes from the top of the fireplace. It could be dangerous if the fireplace doesn't have enough venting. It is important to read reviews before buying the unit.

Flame effects are a major distinction between wall mounted and freestanding fireplaces. While the majority of freestanding fireplaces feature LED screens and rotisserie-style lights, wall-mounted units use mist and other technologies to create the illusion of smoke and flames. Dimplex for instance, has a line of fireplaces that use ultrasonic technology to create the illusion of a burning fire.

Some wall-mounted electric fireplaces can be recessed partially into the wall. This allows them to fit into tight spaces where traditional fireplaces would not. This allows them to blend in with various styles of interiors.

Most wall-mounted electric fireplaces are designed to be viewed from the front, but there are some that are multi-view. They are generally larger than single-view models and permit you to see the flames from two or more sides.

Installation

Wall-mounted electric fireplaces as the name suggests, are intended to be mounted on the wall. They are usually installed using a bracket. They are usually fairly simple to install, though the precise process will vary between models. Certain models are fixed to the wall with screws while others require you to build an opening around them. In any situation, it's essential to carefully follow the instructions included with the fire, ensuring that the opening of the frame is dimensioned and the unit is placed according to any safety guidelines.

The first step is to locate a suitable location for the fireplace, taking into account the design of the room and any furniture you own. It's also worth checking that the location is close to a power socket or you're willing to have an electrician move the plug socket for you (if there's one there already).

Once you've found the perfect location to place the fireplace, you must prepare the space by clearing it, removing any existing furniture and preparing the walls. This could include taking away any decorations or wallpaper as well as finding and marking any studs you can with the help of a Studfinder.

The brackets for most electric fireplaces mounted on walls come with a template that allows you to drill holes. You can use this template to mark the position on the wall where they will be mounted. After you've marked the wall's locations, drill the holes. Then, you can install the rawl plugs. As a rule, the heater, which is placed in the front of the fireplace and generates heat, should be at least 400mm away from any combustible material, like fabric.

After drilling the holes, you'll need to attach the bracket for mounting. Depending on the model, some of these will require that you attach the firebox onto the bracket, while other will require you to install the entire fireplace onto the bracket prior to fitting the screen. It is important to follow the directions for installation precisely to ensure that your new appliance is not damaged. Once the fireplace is set connect it to the electrical outlet and check it to ensure it's working properly.
