Wall-Mounted
When it comes to electric fireplaces wall-mounted options are a great option for those looking to mount their unit without cutting into the walls or frame an opening. These fireplaces come with mounting brackets that allow you to put the fireplace directly on the wall just like an LCD or picture and, in most cases, you can install it yourself, although you may need help by a second pair of hands if your model is larger than the norm. These units are also perfect for those who rent their home and are easily removed when it's time to move. They don't even leave a hole on the wall.
The majority of electric fireplaces for wall mounting can be installed into a wall recession so that they are completely flush with the wall for an elegant appearance, or you can opt to build them into the recession in part to give them a bit of depth. Certain models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series, even come with the option of a trim skirt, which allows you to conceal the firebox's protrusion. You can also change the models' appearance by selecting different flame and LED background colors to match your decor.
The primary drawback of a wall-mounted, freestanding electric fireplace is that it takes up floor space, and because there is no option of mounting it into a wall recession, they tend to be a bit further than an ordinary freestanding model with a mantel. This is not a major disadvantage and should be taken into consideration when deciding on the best type of fireplace for you.
