Size

A wall-mounted electric fireplace can be an elegant option if like the look of a fireplace, but don't have enough room to install a hearth or chimney. These units liberate the floor space by putting them on a flat surface and plug into an electrical outlet for year-round use. Most models come with a remote control for easy on/off operation. Certain models also feature flame displays as well as decorative embers. They are available in a variety of sizes and designs.

Most models of wall-mounted electric fireplaces are slim but you can find large linear options that run across the length of a wall. These are great for rooms with low ceilings, and they can create a cozy focal piece that doesn't take much space.

Electric fireplaces can also be erected on flat walls, much as a wood fire. These kinds of fireplaces are available with a variety of frame colors, ranging from black and contemporary stainless steel to stunning mirrored glass. Choose a frame colour that complements your wall or existing furnishings. Some models also include a flat screen television to make them an all-in-one entertainment system.

Many people choose this option by putting their TV on top of their fireplace. This is great, but you should be aware of the required clearances for both the TV and the electric fireplace. According to the most common clearance guidelines, all combustibles must be kept at least three feet from the fireplace.

Some of these models are designed to be recessed into the wall to create a custom fit. This type of fireplace might not generate as much heat as the straight-front wall mounted model but it is ideal for a bespoke installation. You can also find electric fireplaces that are designed to be mounted on walls and hung from the ceiling. These fireplaces are perfect for commercial settings such as restaurant lobbies or hotel lobbies.

Many of these models have different heat output settings which you can adjust in accordance with the season. Certain models can be turned off so that you can use them all year round without losing the appealing flame effect. Some fireplaces have a no heat setting, which only warms the surrounding area. These types of features are perfect for homes with children or pets since the fireplace does not generate any actual heat and is safe to contact.

Flame Effects

Electric fireplaces often have different flame effects that are designed to replicate real fire. These features are typically combined with an LED background to give a more realistic look that can easily blend in with different styles of interior decor. You can also alter the intensity and color of the flame according to your mood or mood of the room.

A chemical-based flame effect is a more conventional option. It mimics the behaviour and appearance of a natural flame. These units utilize a can of chemical fluid that is heated by an element inside the unit to produce the fire. The problem with these types of units is they can be messy and require a lot of maintenance.

An alternative to chemical flames is the plasma blaze effect which is made up of tiny particles that glow and flicker to mimic the appearance of real fire. The problem with this type of simulated flame is that it could appear too fake and may not be as appealing visually as other options.

If you prefer a more natural flame there are wall mounted electric fireplaces that offer realistic log sets and a realistic holographic flame projection to create a very life-like appearance. These units are usually finished in wood or rust and blend perfectly with traditional interior designs. They can also be installed in a recess for an individualized look that can blend into various wall designs.

Choosing the right model for your space will depend on the size of the room as well as your personal preferences. You should select a larger model for larger rooms so that it can be able to fill the space but not make it appear empty. If you're installing the fireplace in a smaller area small or compact models is the better option. Electric fireplaces are available in a variety of frames and surrounds that match your home decor.

It can be mounted in most 2x4 walls.

Ventilation

Wall mount electric fireplaces provide an abundance of style and function without the difficulty of installing an actual fireplace. You don't have to employ an electrician, or worry about running gas through your home. There are some considerations to take into consideration when choosing an electric fireplace that is wall-mounted.

One of the biggest differences between freestanding and wall-mounted fireplaces is how they vent. While most freestanding units have a vent at the back of the unit, a lot of wall-mounted models don't. This is because the majority of the heat is absorbed from the top of the fireplace. It can be dangerous if a fireplace doesn't have enough venting. It is important to read reviews prior to purchasing a unit.

Another big distinction between wall-mounted and freestanding fireplaces has to do with the effects of flames. Freestanding fireplaces are outfitted with LED screens and rotisserie lighting, wall-mounted models use mist or other modern technology to mimic smoke and flames. Dimplex for instance, has a line of fireplaces that uses ultrasonic technology to create the illusion of a fire.

Some wall-mounted electric fireplaces can be recessed in a part of the wall. This allows them to be placed in tight places where a traditional fireplace wouldn't fit. This allows them to blend in with a variety of interior styles.

The majority of electric fire wall fireplaces are designed to be seen from the front, but there are some that are multi-view. They tend to be a bigger than single-view models and permit you to view the flames from multiple sides of the room.

Installation

Wall mount electric fireplaces, as the name suggests are designed to be installed on the wall. They are typically mounted using brackets. The process of installation varies among models, but it is generally simple. Certain models are fixed to the wall using screws and others require you to build an opening around them. In any case, it's important to follow the directions included with the fire, making sure the opening in the frame is measured and positioned according to any safety guidelines.

The first step is to find an appropriate spot for the fireplace, based on the style of the room as well as the furniture you have. Also, make sure whether the area is close enough to a power outlet, or if you're willing to have an electrician move a plug socket (if one is already in place) for you.

Once you've found a good location to place the fireplace, you must prepare the area by clearing it, removing any existing furniture and then preparing the wall. This could involve removal of any decoration or wallpaper and also the location of any studs, and marking them using an Stud finder (you'll often be asked to have two people hold the fireplace to ensure it's positioned correctly).

The brackets used with electric fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with a template to drill holes. You can use this template to mark the location on the wall where they will be mounted. After marking the positions, drill the holes and then install the rawl plugs. As a rule you'll need to make sure that the heater - which is in front of the fireplace and produces heat - is at a minimum of 400mm away from any combustible substances such as fabrics.

After drilling the holes, you will need to attach the bracket for mounting. Some models will require that you install the firebox onto the bracket while others will ask you to put the fireplace on the bracket prior to attaching the screen. It is crucial to follow the instructions for installation precisely to avoid damaging your new appliance. Once the fireplace is set connect it to the electrical outlet and test it to ensure it's functioning properly.
