Electric Wall Mounted Fire Place If you have an existing fireplace cutout in your wall, you can easily install an electric wall-mounted fire place to fill in the empty space. Make sure that the appliance you choose fits in the space, and then follow the installation instructions supplied by the manufacturer. According to our study, the most important aspect is the output of heat. Our top pick is capable of heating up to 400 square feet and comes with multiple flame and log settings, plus a thermostat. Easy to Install Installation of an electric wall-mounted fire is quite simple, as long as you choose the right model for your space. A lot of models include templates that tell the best places to drill holes on the wall. They also come with spirit levels and stud finders so you can work in a safe area. With these tools in place, and provided that you follow the manufacturer's advice regarding clearances (to avoid heat damage to artwork or TVs), fitting 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 one inch shorter than the finished wall and drilling holes in the appropriate places. After this is completed, you can fit a pair of L-metal brackets to the wall to hold the fireplace. There are a variety of all-in-one options that offer both the fire and a framework that looks like the mantelpiece. Suites like the Dimplex Bach and the Celsi Flamonik Rapture can be used as a decorative element in rooms without a traditional fireplace. After the frame has been put in place, you can install the electric fire by fixing the hanging screws into the rawl sockets. Some models are designed to be hung directly from the bracket while others may require that you frame an opening in the wall and then create an opening that is recessed. You'll then have to plug the fire into a power outlet, and the majority of models have separate controls for heat and flame so that you can adjust the settings to suit your requirements. You can also choose a model that can run off of a USB power source so you can use it away from home as well. To ensure safety, it's a good idea to move your fireplace as close as possible to the nearest plug socket and keep the cord out of sight by tucking it under the skirting or using paintable wire covers. It's also a good idea to buy the plug equipped with a fuse that protects against overload. Affordability Electric fireplaces can be adapted to fit the space and add a cozy feel. Many electric fireplaces are less affordable than wood or gas fire places and can be set up in a variety of home settings. They don't require a venting system or chimney, and they don't emit harmful emissions. They are also more environmentally friendly than their traditional counterparts. The best models create realistic flames which can be customized by changing the color and media display. The entry-level models that cost less than $250 are available in desktop and freestanding designs. These models are typically a little more compact than wall-mounted models or recessed models, which means they can be tucked into smaller areas. These models usually have less variety of features and a lower heat output (around 750 or 1500 in watts). Electric fireplaces that cost more usually come with remote controls and an automatic timer as well as additional options in the flame display such as the brightness, colors and height. Many also have various heat settings and an option to not heat for more flexibility. Some models have LED displays that change from daytime brightness to nighttime illumination which can help to create the perfect mood. The price of an electric wall fireplace may differ based on its style and flame display. Certain models come with simple frames that are surrounded by the fire display. Others are designed to look like an actual fireplace, with faux logs, mantels and other elements of design. The cost of an electric fireplace is also affected by its power consumption and heating capacity. The more energy-efficient the unit, the less it will cost to run. Many models are also rated according to 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 price of an electric fireplace, keep in mind that you'll likely need an electrician who is a professional to wire your new purchase. This is a 1 ½-hour job that runs an average of $150, based on your location and if the electrician has to install an electrical outlet or switch to allow for the wiring of the fireplace. Energy Efficiency Electric fireplaces consume less energy than fireplaces which use gas or wood. The majority of models can be adjusted in brightness as well as flames and heat settings, and an option to not heat to save energy even more. On average an electric fireplace costs about 18 cents per hour to run. This equates to about one-third of the cost of running a gas-powered fireplace with the same amount of heat output. Furthermore, electric fireplaces emit no combustion emissions, like carbon monoxide, smoke, or Nitrous oxide. These are harmful pollutants that decrease the indoor air quality. Gas fireplaces, on the other hand, produce huge quantities of these pollutants when in use. Thermostatic controls allow you to regulate the temperature of your home as well as your electric fireplace. This allows you to heat certain rooms or areas as well as reduce the overall heating cost when as compared to central heating systems which provide heating for the entire house. Many electric wall-mounted fireplaces utilize infrared heating and forced-fan technology to efficiently warm rooms. Infrared heaters beam a stream of warmth into a room and radiate it outwards whereas force-fan models utilize fans to draw in cool air, then heat it with the coils inside and then push it back into the room. Furthermore, many electric fireplaces are also suitable for zone heating. By adding a small amount of supplemental heating to the space that you spend the majority of your time in, you can lower the temperature by 10 to 15 degrees and save on energy bills. Electric fireplaces have a myriad of benefits that make them a popular choice for homeowners who are looking for a way to warm their home in a safe, efficient way. They can provide the warmth of a traditional fire, but without all the hassle. There is no need to purchase or stock firewood or chimney cleaning, and no annual service inspections with 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 who has a limited budget or space.
