What To Consider Before Buying A Wall Mounted Electric Fireplace
While you might already have a fireplace in mind, there are a few extra things to take into consideration.
Installation Style
There are two types of wall mounted electric fireplaces: flush and recessed. A flush-style fireplace is installed flat against a supporting wall, while a recessed version fits into a slot in the wall. If you are deciding between these options, read our guide to recessed vs wall mounted electric fireplaces.
Size & Location
Next, you need to decide where you want to install your electric fireplace so that you can decide on a fitting size. It’s also important to select a size that suits the location you have in mind. Fortunately, most wall mounted electric fireplaces are available in different sizes.
Power Supply
As you know, your electric fireplace will need a source of power in order for the flames and heating functions to work. This means you need to select a location that has an electrical outlet nearby, or you need to have one installed. Keep in mind that some fireplaces need to be wired into your home electrics, so check this first.
Energy Efficiency
An energy-efficient fireplace might cost more initially but the long-term cost savings make it well worth it. Energy-efficient electric fireplaces are more effective at heating a specific sized room.
Heating Options
If you want to enjoy the ambiance of a fireplace all year round but not necessarily the heat, select a fireplace that gives you the option to turn the heat off. You should also consider how big a space the fireplace can heat.
Flame Options
How many options do you want in terms of flame color and settings options? Some fireplaces have one or two flame color options, while others have several.
Enter the era of the wall-mounted fireplace
Also known as hanging fireplaces, wall mounted electric fireplaces are slim, easy to install and provide a realistic fire experience - all without the need for soot or fumes. Homeowners can enjoy a glowing ambiance and warm temperatures throughout the year. Planning to place one below a TV? Read Can You Mount a TV Above an Electric Fireplace?.
