Size

If you love the look of a traditional fireplace, but don't have the space for a large hearth and chimney, a wall mounted electric fireplace offers a stylish alternative. These units liberate floor space by mounting on a flat surface. They then plug into an electrical wall fireplace outlet to allow for year-round use. Most models have a remote control that allows for simple switching between on and off. Some models also come with flame displays as well as decorative embers. These models are available in a wide range of sizes and designs.

The majority of electric fireplaces mounted on walls are slim. However there are plenty of linear options which stretch across the length of the wall. These are perfect for rooms with low ceilings, and can be used to create a cozy focal piece that isn't a big deal.

Some of these models are designed to be recessed into walls to allow for a custom-fit. This type of fireplace might not produce as much heat as the straight-front wall mounted model, but it's perfect for a custom-designed installation. There are also electric fireplaces designed to be wall-mounted and mounted against the ceiling. These types of fireplaces are ideal for commercial settings like a restaurant or hotel lobbies.

Many of these models have different settings for the heat output, which you can change according to the time of year.

These options are ideal for homes with pets or children since the fireplace doesn't produce any heat.

Flame Effects

Many electric fireplaces have different flame effects that are created to look like a real fire. These features are typically combined with an LED background to create an authentic look that can easily blend in with various styles of interior decoration. The majority of models permit you to alter the flame color and intensity to suit your mood or the ambience of the room.

A chemical-based flame effect is a more conventional option. It simulates the behavior and appearance of natural fire. The units are made up of the use of a chemical liquid that is heated within the unit to ignite. These units can be messy and require lots of maintenance.

Another alternative to chemical flames is a plasma blaze effect that is made up of small particles that glow and flicker to simulate the look of an actual fire. The problem with this type of simulated flame is that it could appear too fake and might not be as appealing visually as other options.

For those who prefer a more natural looking flame there are wall mounted electric fireplaces that come with realistic log sets and a realistic flame projection that is holographic to give an extremely realistic appearance. These units typically have an rust or wood finish that blends well with traditional interior design. They can also be put in recesses to create a more customized appearance that blends into the various wall designs.

Ventilation

Wall-mounted electric fireplaces can provide many styles and functionality without the hassle of installing an actual fireplace. You don't need to hire an electrician, you don't require a chimney and you don't have to worry about running gas lines through your home. However there are a few things to consider when selecting a wall mounted electric fireplace.

One of the most significant distinctions between wall-mounted and freestanding fireplaces is how they vent. While most freestanding units have a vent at the back of the unit, some wall-mounted models do not. This is due to the fact that the majority of the heat is absorbed from the top of the fireplace. It could be dangerous if a fireplace is not vented properly. It is important to read reviews before buying a unit.

Flame effects is another big distinction between freestanding and wall mounted fireplaces. Freestanding fireplaces come with LED screens and rotisserie lighting wall-mounted models utilize mist or other advanced technologies to create smoke and flames. Dimplex for instance, offers a range of fireplaces that utilize ultrasonic technology to create the illusion of a fire.

Certain wall electric fires-mounted electric fireplaces can be recessed in a part of the wall, and this allows them to be placed in tight places where a traditional fireplace would not be able to fit. This allows them to blend with many different interior styles.

Some electric wall-mounted fire places are multi-view while others are front-view only. They are typically a bit larger than their single-view counterparts and permit you to view the flames from multiple sides of the room.

Installation

As the name suggests, wall hanging electric Fire mount electric fireplaces are designed to be hung on the wall, usually using a mounting bracket. The method of installation differs between models, but is generally simple. Some models are anchored to the wall using screws, while others require an opening around them. In either case, it's important to follow the guidelines that come with the fire, ensuring that the opening in the frame is sized and positioning the unit according to any safety guidelines.

The first step is to find an appropriate spot for the fireplace, taking into account the design of the room and any furniture you own. Also, make sure that the location is near enough to a power outlet or if you are willing to have an electrician relocate the plug socket (if one is already in place) for you.

Once you've found the perfect spot to put the fireplace, you must prepare the area by clearing it and removing any furniture and preparing the wall. This may involve removing any existing decorations or wallpaper and also the location of any studs, and marking them with the help of a Stud finder (you'll often be required to have two people hold the fireplace to ensure it's positioned correctly).

The majority of wall-mounted electric fireplaces include an outline for drilling holes, which you should use to mark the places on the walls where the brackets are to be positioned. Once you have marked the wall's locations and then drilled the holes, you can drill them. Then install the rawl plugs. In general the heater, which sits in the middle of the fireplace and generates heat, should be at least 400mm away from any combustible material, such as fabric.

Once the holes are made, you'll need to install the mounting bracket. Based on the model, certain models will require you to attach the firebox onto the bracket, whereas others will require you to place the entire fireplace onto the bracket before installing the screen. It is crucial to follow the directions for installation exactly in order to ensure that your new appliance is not damaged. Once the fireplace is set plug it in and test it to make sure it's working as intended.
