white electric fire wall mounted Mounted Fire Place If you have a fireplace cut-out in your wall, you can easily use a wall-mounted electric fire place to fill in the empty space. Make sure that the appliance you select fits the space and follows the instructions for installation provided by the manufacturer. According to our research, the most important element is the heat output. Our top pick heats up to 400 square feet, and includes various log and flame settings, plus an adjustable thermostat. Easy to Install Installing a wall-mounted electric fireplace is fairly simple, provided you select the right model for your space. A lot of models include a template that shows you the location on the wall where you can drill holes, and include a spirit level and stud finder to ensure that you're working in a secure location. With these tools in place, and provided that you follow the manufacturer's advice regarding clearances (to avoid heat damage to artwork or TVs) Installing your electric fireplace shouldn't take more than 30 minutes. If you're working with an item that is recessed, then you'll have to frame the opening. This can be accomplished by cutting two 2x6s that are an inch smaller than the wall that will be constructed, and then drilling holes in them at the correct locations. After that, you can attach a pair L-metal brackets to the wall to support your fireplace. There are several all-in-one options that combine the fireplace with a frame that appears like a mantelpiece. These include suites such as the Celsi Flamonik Rapture and the Dimplex Bach, and they can be used to add an aesthetic touch to rooms that do not have a traditional fireplace. Once the frame is installed, you can connect the electric fire by screwing the hanging screws into the rawl sockets. Certain models are designed to hang directly from the bracket while others may require that you make a hole in the wall and then create an opening in the wall that is recessed. You'll then have to plug in the fire to an electrical outlet. Most models have separate controls for heat and flame which allows you to adjust them according to your requirements. You can select a model which can be powered by a USB source, so you can use it when you're away. To ensure safety, it's recommended to move your fireplace as close as is possible to the nearest plug socket and keep the cord out of view by tucking it under the skirting or using paintable wire covers. It is also recommended to purchase the plug with a fuse in order to safeguard the appliance from overload. Affordability Electric fireplaces can be tailored to fit the space and provide a warm ambience. 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 an exhaust system or chimney and don't release harmful fumes. They are therefore more eco-friendly than traditional fireplaces. The most effective models create realistic flames which can be altered by altering the color and media display. Basic models that cost less than $250 are available in freestanding and desktop styles. These models are usually smaller than the larger wall-mounted or recessed models. They are therefore easily placed in smaller areas. They are typically limited in terms of features and have less energy output (around 1500 or 500 Watts). Electric fireplaces with higher price tags typically come with remote controls and an automatic timer, as well as more options in the flame display such as colors, brightness, and the height. For additional versatility the majority of electric fireplaces come with different heat settings as well as a no-heat setting. Certain models feature LED displays that can be switched from daytime brilliance into nighttime illumination. This can help create the perfect mood. The price of an electric wall fireplace can differ based on its style and flame display. Some models feature simple frames that are surrounded by the fire display. Others are designed to resemble a built-in fireplace with faux logs, mantels, and other design elements. The price of electric fireplaces is also affected by its power consumption and heating capacity. The less expensive it is to operate the more energy-efficient unit. Many models are also rated based on their energy consumption in Btu per hour or watts, which could be helpful when deciding on a model that fits within your budget. When considering the total cost of an electric fireplace, be aware that you'll need to hire a professional electrician to hardwire your new purchase. This is a one-and-a-half hour job that runs an average of $150, based on the location you live in and whether the electrician will have to add an electrical outlet or switch to accommodate the fireplace's wiring. Energy Efficiency Electric fireplaces use less energy than models that burn wood or gas. Many models can be adjusted in brightness, flames, and temperature settings, as well as the option of not heating to save even more energy. On average an electric fireplace will cost around 18 cents per hour to run. This is about one-third the cost of running a fireplace that has the same amount of heat output. Electric fireplaces do not release combustion emissions like smoke, carbon monoxide or nitrogen dioxide. These are harmful pollutants that decrease the quality of indoor air. However gas fireplaces generate significant amounts of these pollutants in their operation. Thermostatic controls allow you to regulate the temperature of your home and also that of your electric fireplace. This lets you heat specific areas or rooms and reduce your overall heating costs as opposed to central heating systems that heat the entire house. Many wall-mounted electric fire places feature infrared technology and forced-fan heating to efficiently warm rooms. Infrared heaters emit a beam of heat into a room and radiate it outwards, while force-fan models make use of fans to draw in cool air, then heat it with the coils inside and then push it back to the room. Additionally, many electric fireplaces are also suitable for zone heating. By adding an additional small amount of heating to the area that you spend the majority of your time in, you can lower your thermostat by about 10 degrees and save money on energy bills. With all the benefits it's easy to see why electric fireplaces are an attractive option for homeowners who want an efficient and safe way to add warmth to their homes. They provide the ambiance of a traditional fireplace without all the hassle. There is no need to purchase stock firewood or chimney cleaning, and no annual maintenance checks when you have a fireplace that runs on electricity. Electric fireplaces are also easy to set up and operate. They're a great alternative traditional fireplaces for people with a tight budget or space.
