Make sure talking to select is suitable for the space and consult the manufacturer's instructions for installation. Based on our survey, heat output is the most important factor for most buyers. Our top pick has the highest heat output of 400 square feet, with a variety of settings for log and flame, and a thermostat. Easy to Install The installation of a wall mounted electric fire is relatively simple, provided you're working with a suitable model that suits your space. Many models have a template that shows you where on the wall to drill holes, and they also come with a spirit level and stud finder to ensure you're in a safe location. Fitting your electric fireplace shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes if you have the proper tools and follow manufacturer’s instructions on clearances. If you're working on an recessed model, you will have to frame the opening. You can do this by cutting two 2x6s about an inch shorter than your finished wall and drilling holes in the right places. Following this, you'll be able to install a pair of L-metal brackets on the wall to hold your fireplace. There are also a number of all-in-one solutions that feature both the fire and a frame that resembles a mantelpiece. Suites like the Dimplex Bach and the Celsi Flamonik Rapture can be used as a decorative element in rooms that do not have the traditional fireplace. Once the frame is in place it's a matter of installing hanging screws into the rawl plugs, then attaching the electric fire to the screws. Certain models can be mounted directly on the bracket, while others require you to frame a hole and create a recess on the wall. You will then need to plug in the fire to an outlet for power. The majority of models have separate controls for flame and heat so you can alter the settings to suit your needs. You can select a model which can be powered by the USB source, so you can use it when you're away from home. It is best to keep your fireplace as near as you can to the closest socket. You can also conceal the cord by tucking it into the cord into the skirting or using wire covers that are paintable. It's also a good idea to buy the plug with a fuse to guard against overload. Affordability Electric fireplaces give a distinctive style, with the ability to be customized and provide an inviting ambience to any space. Many are less expensive than traditional wood or gas fireplaces and can be installed in a range of settings for homes. They don't require venting or a chimney and don't emit harmful fumes, making them more eco-friendly than their fiery counterparts. The top models also create realistic flames that can be customized in many ways such as changing the color of the flame as well as the media display for the fire bed. Freestanding and desktop models are available at entry-level prices of less than $250. These models are usually smaller than the larger wall-mounted or recessed models. They can therefore be easily placed in smaller spaces. They typically come with a more limited range of features, and have a lower output (around 750 or 1500 in watts). Electric fireplaces that cost more usually include remote controls and an automatic timer, as well as more options for the flame display, such as colors, brightness, and height. For added versatility some electric fireplaces feature multiple heat settings as well as a no-heat setting. Certain models feature LED displays that can change from daytime illumination to nighttime lighting. This can help create the perfect mood. The cost of an electric wall fireplace may differ based on its design and the type of flame display. Certain models come with a simple frame surrounding the fire display. Others are designed to resemble an actual fireplace, with faux logs, mantels, and other elements of design. Finally, the power consumption and the heating capacity of an electric fireplace will also impact the price. The lower the cost to operate, the more efficient model. Many models are also rated by their energy consumption in Btu per hour and watts, which could be helpful when deciding on one that is within your budget. If you're calculating the total cost of your electric fireplace, be aware that you will need to employ an electrician to wire it. This 1 ½ hour job is priced at $150 on average, depending on the location you live in and if an electrician is required to add an outlet or switch to accommodate wiring for the fireplace. Energy Efficiency Electric fireplaces consume less energy than fireplaces which use gas or wood. The majority of models have adjustable brightness, flames and temperature settings, as well as the option to not heat to save even more energy. On average, it costs 18 cents an hour to operate an electric fireplace. This is equivalent to around one-third of the cost of running a gas fireplace with the same output of heating. Additionally, electric fireplaces emit no combustion emissions, like smoke, carbon monoxide, or nitrous oxide. These are harmful pollutants that decrease the quality of indoor air. Contrary to this gas fireplaces generate large quantities of these pollutants during operation. Thermostatic controls can also be used to control the temperature of your home and your electric fireplace. This lets you warm certain rooms or areas and save on total heating costs when as opposed to central heating systems that heat an entire house. A lot of electric wall-mounted fire places feature infrared technology as well as forced-fan heating to effectively warm rooms. Infrared heaters emit heat outwards, while force-fan models use fans to draw cool air into the room, then heat it by using the coils inside and then push it back into the room. Additionally, many electric fireplaces can also be used for zone heating. By adding a small amount of warmth to the room in which you spend most of the day and lowering the temperature by 10 to 15 degrees. This will save you money on energy costs.
