Easy to Install

Installing a wall-mounted electric fire is fairly simple, provided you select the right model for your space. Many models include templates that tell you where to drill holes in the ultra slim wall mounted electric fires. They also come with spirit level and stud finders, so you can work in a safe space. Fitting your electric fireplace shouldn't take more than 30 minutes, provided you have the appropriate tools and follow the guidelines of the manufacturer regarding clearances.

If you're working on a 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 locations. After this is completed then you can install two brackets made of L-metal to the modern wall hung electric fires to hold the fireplace.

There are a few all-in-one options that blend the fire with a frame that appears like a mantelpiece. Suites such as the Dimplex Bach and the Celsi Flamonik Rapture can be used as a decorative element in rooms without a traditional fireplace.

Once the frame is set, it's simply a case of fitting hanging screws into the rawl plugs and then attaching the electric fire to the screws. Some models can be put directly on the bracket while others require you to frame a hole and create a recess on the wall.

You'll then have to plug the fire into a power outlet, and most models come with independent control for the flame and heat so that you can alter them according to your preferences. You can also opt for one that runs off of an USB power source so that you can use it away from home as well.

For safety reasons, it's a good idea to move your fireplace as close as possible to the nearest plug socket and keep the cord from view by tucking it in the skirting or using paintable wire covers. It's also a good idea to buy a plug with a fuse to protect against overload.

Affordability

Electric fireplaces give a distinctive, customizable look and an inviting ambience to any space. Many electric fireplaces are less affordable than gas or wood fire places and can be set up in various home settings.

They don't require a chimney or venting and do not emit harmful fumes, which makes them more eco-friendly than their flamboyant counterparts. The top models also produce realistic flames that can be personalized in a number of ways such as changing the color of the flame and fire bed media display.

Entry-level models that cost less than $250 are available in freestanding and desktop styles. These units are usually smaller than larger wall-mounted designs or recessed models. They can therefore be easily fitted into smaller areas. These models are usually more limited in terms of features and also have smaller energy output (around 1500 or 700 power).

Electric fireplaces with higher prices usually come with a remote control and an automatic timer along with more options in the flame display such as colors, brightness and height. Some also come with various heat settings and an option to not heat for more flexibility. Some come with LED displays that change from daytime brightness to nighttime light that help create the perfect mood.

The cost of an electric fireplace that is wall-mounted can vary depending on how sophisticated its design is and the kind of flame display features. Some models have a simple frame surrounding the fire panel. Others are designed to resemble a built-in fireplace with faux logs, mantels and other design elements.

The cost of an electric fireplace is also dependent on its power consumption and heating capacity. The more energy efficient the appliance is, the less it will cost to run. Many models are rated based on their energy consumption, measured in Btu/hour and Watts. This can be useful when choosing a model within your budget.

This is a 1 1/2-hour task that will cost an average of $150, based on the location you live in and whether the electrician needs to add an electrical outlet or switch to accommodate the fireplace's wiring.

Electric fireplaces consume less energy than fireplaces which use gas or wood. Many models can be adjusted in the brightness, flames and heat settings, as well as the option of not heating to save even more energy.

On average an electric fireplace will cost about 18 cents per hour to run. This is about one-third of the cost of running a gas fireplace with the same heating output.

Electric fireplaces don't emit combustion emissions like carbon monoxide, smoke, or nitrogen dioxide. These pollutants are harmful and reduce the indoor air quality. Gas fireplaces, on other hand, produce large amounts of these pollutants when used.

Thermostatic controls let you control both the temperature in your home as well as that of your electric fireplace. This lets you warm specific areas or rooms and save on overall heating costs compared to central heating systems that heat the entire home.

A lot of electric wall-mounted fireplaces make use of infrared heating as well as forced-fan technology to heat rooms efficiently. Infrared heaters emit heat outwards while force-fan models employ fans to pull cool air into the room, heat it by using the coils inside, and then push it back into the room.

Furthermore the majority of electric fireplaces can also be used for zone heating. By adding a bit of heat in the room where you spend most of the day, you can lower the thermostat by 10-15 degrees. This will save you money on energy bills.
