This type of model may not provide as much heat as a straight-front wall mount but it is perfect for a custom-designed installation. There are also electric fireplaces that are mounted on the wall and then hung against the ceiling. These units are ideal for commercial settings like hotel lobbies or restaurants.

Some models can be turned off to use all year long without losing the appealing flame effect. Some fireplaces come with a heat setting, which only warms the area around it.

Flame Effects

Many electric fireplaces have various flame effects that are created to look like the real flame. These features are typically paired with an LED background to create a realistic appearance that is easy to blend in with different interior design styles. Many models also allow you to alter the intensity and color of the flame according to your mood or the ambience of the room.

A chemical-based flame effect is a better alternative. It mimics the behaviour and appearance of a natural fire. The units are made up of the use of a chemical liquid that is heated within the unit to create fire. These units can be messy and require lots of maintenance.

Plasma blaze effects are an alternative to chemical flames. They are made of small particles which glow and flicker, simulating the appearance of a real flame. This kind of simulated flame can look fake and not so appealing as other options.

For those who prefer a more natural flame, there are wall mount electric fireplaces that come with a realistic looking log set and a realistic looking flame projection using holographic technology to create a very life-like appearance.

Ventilation

Wall mount electric fireplaces provide many styles and functionality without the difficulty of installing an actual fireplace. You don't have to employ an electrician, you don't need a chimney, and you don't have to worry about running gas lines through your home. There are some considerations to make when selecting an electric fireplace for your wall.

One of the most significant differences between wall-mounted and freestanding fireplaces is how they vent. Most wall-mounted units don't have a vent at the back. This is because the majority of the heat comes out of the top of the fireplace. If the unit doesn't have enough venting, it can result in a fire hazard. It is important to read reviews prior to purchasing the unit.

Another significant difference between wall-mounted and freestanding fireplaces is the flame effects. While most freestanding fireplaces have LED screens and rotisserie style lights, wall-mounted units use mist and other advanced technology to mimic flames and smoke. Dimplex, for instance, has a fireplace line that uses ultrasonics to create the illusion of fire.

Some wall-mounted electric fire places can be partially recessed into the wall. This lets them fit in tight spaces that traditional fireplaces would not. This helps them blend in with a wide range of styles for interiors.

Most wall-mounted electric fireplaces are designed to be seen from the front, however there are some that are multi-view. They tend to be larger than single-view models, and allow you to view the flames from two or more sides.

Installation

Wall mount electric fireplaces, as the name suggests are intended to be mounted on the wall. They are often mounted with a bracket. The method of installation differs between models, but is generally simple. Some models are anchored to the wall with screws, while others require you to build an opening around them. In any case, it's important to follow the directions included with the fire, making sure the opening of the frame is measured and positioned in line with any safety guidelines.

The first step is to find a suitable location for the fireplace, taking into consideration the design of the room and the furniture you have. Also, make sure that the location is near enough to a power outlet or if you're willing to let an electrician relocate a plug socket (if one already exists) for you.

After you've located a suitable location to place the fireplace, prepare the space by clearing it and removing any furniture and preparing the walls. This could include the removal of any wallpaper or other decorations in addition to finding and marking any studs using the help of a Studfinder.

The brackets for most electric fireplaces mounted on walls come with a template for drilling holes. You can use this template to mark the spot on the wall where they'll be mounted. After marking the locations on the wall and drilled the holes. Then install the rawl plugs. As a rule it is essential to ensure that the heater - which is at the front of the fireplace and generates heat - is located at least 400mm away from any combustible materials, such as fabrics.

Once the holes are drilled, you'll need to fit the mounting bracket. Some models require that you install the firebox onto the bracket, while others require you to place the fireplace onto the bracket prior to attaching the screen. It is crucial to follow the instructions for installation exactly in order to ensure that your new appliance is not damaged. Plug in the fireplace and test it.
