Electric Wall Fireplaces Electric wall fireplaces offer the ambience of a fire without the odors and the stains that are associated with traditional fireplaces made of wood. They are easy-to-install and can be removed if you move. Certain models can be wired into a recessed wall cutout in the event that you want. Consult the owner's guide for details regarding framing and installation. Energy-Efficient The wall-mounted electric fire place offers the look of an authentic wood-burning fireplace, but without the expense and hassle. They do not require chimneys or vents. They plug into an electrical outlet, and can provide additional heating to rooms that are up to 400 square feet. They can be turned off when not in use and allow you to enjoy the flickering flames year-round. Some models feature LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) flame technology that shows images of burning fire on a screen, replicating the motion and nuances of real flames more precisely than LEDs. Some styles have faux log beds and ember stacks for an authentic natural appearance. Pick the style that best fits your home's style. Typically they have a power usage of 1500 watts when they are fully loaded. This is less power than a standard outlet could handle and is only one-third of the energy that a typical home appliance generates. The cost of operating a fireplace at this level is around $0.23/hour or 7c/day based on your power cost. In this regard you can cut down on energy consumption by turning the heat down or utilizing only the light display for ambience. The effectiveness of a fire is determined by its power consumption divided by the amount of heat it generates. The figure is typically listed in a format known as “kilowatt hours” or kW, and it is located on the unit it self or in the specifications or the description. To calculate the energy efficiency of your fireplace, you will also need to know how long you expect to run it every day. Utilizing a supplementary heating source lets you lower your thermostat and focus on the areas of your house that you are most likely to use. This can result in significant energy savings, especially when you switch the heater off when you're away from home. To maximize the benefit you should place your electric fireplace on a wall and surround it with chic Melamine panels from Organized Interiors to create an elegant fireplace wall. Realistic Flames If you'd like to enjoy the beauty of a real flame effect, but without the mess, cost, and maintenance of a fireplace, think about a wall mount electric fireplace. You can select from a variety of designs that will fit in with any décor. Some models have an optional mantel that can be customized to match your preferences, while others are designed as flat panels that can be placed directly on the wall. Many models come with a variety of flame colors, brightness, and other options to make the flames appear more real. Most wall-mount electric fireplaces use LED lights to create a fire effect. They last for a long time and are energy efficient. They also produce less heat than traditional fireplaces and can be used with the heat function turned on. They are a practical and safe choice for any room in the home. You can select from a variety of flame effects, from simple turning wheels to 3D holographic fires that flicker and move like the real thing. Certain models incorporate ambient sounds like crackling logs to enhance the experience. MagikFlame provides the most realistic fires, but there are other models that can meet your needs. Some models have an independent heating feature which can be operated separately from the flame display, allowing you to use your electric fireplace throughout the year for both visual and comforting ambience. The heating function makes use of energy-efficient, long-lasting LEDs. A popular style option for electric fireplaces is a linear model that can be incorporated into the wall to create a built-in look. This type of fireplace is ideal for condos, additions, or rentals, and it does not require vents or chimneys. Certain models come with a recessed mounting kit that can be mounted in a flush position against the wall, while others are mounted on the wall with an attached mount to the wall and a flat back plate. A wall-mounted electric fireplace also takes up very little space. This is crucial, particularly in smaller spaces, where the fireplace will be the focal area. Thermostat Control Fireplaces are a great method to add warmth and ambience to any space. Electric fireplaces do not use real flames, so there is no danger of carbon monoxide poisoning. This makes them a great choice for families with children or pets. Because they don't require a chimney you can put them wherever you want. The thermostat can be controlled by electric wall fireplaces. You can set your thermostat to turn the fireplace on when the temperature of the room reaches a certain level. After that, when the heating system starts to work the fireplace will turn off. You can control your electric fire by using a remote. This type of fireplace requires a clear line-of sight to operate the remote. You will therefore need to be present with it to use it. You can control the unit's settings, from the temperature to the brightness of the flame. And you can even set the timer to turn the unit off at a certain time. Unlike traditional gas hearths, which need to be vented and have often complex heat management systems to ensure proper heat dispersal in modern mantel-less linear models, most electric fireplaces can be plugged into a standard outlet. This allows you to mount televisions above them without the hassle of excessive wall temperatures. Since there aren't flames, electric fireplaces don't produce smoke or sparks which makes them a safer choice for homes with kids. Electric fireplaces are easy to set up and are also easy to install. You can either mount them on the wall and plug them into or create them into an existing or a new fireplace. You can give your fireplace a polished appearance by adding surrounds, mantels or a custom-built in. However, you must be aware that a built-in electric fireplace can't be removed without taking down part of the wall. If you choose a fireplace that is recessed, make sure to connect it to the electric system. Fan-Forced Heat Electric fireplaces can produce fan-forced heating, which helps circulate air around the room and keeps it warm. The amount of heat produced is often listed by the manufacturer in Btu per hour (one Btu equals 3.41 watts), and units with higher heating capacity are usually capable of warming larger areas. The amount of heat produced can be altered by the user, allowing them to alter the temperature of the heater to their requirements and preferences. The majority of electric wall fireplace s are equipped with built-in fans that create a flow that circulates the air. This allows you to keep a comfortable indoor temperature without the need for a ceiling or window fan in your home. Some models are equipped with a vent at the top that draws heated air away from the wall and up. This gives an elegant design that goes well with modern interior design. One of the benefits of using a wall-mounted electric fireplace is that it doesn't create mess and does not require the use of real fuel. This eliminates the risk of fire, and also reduces the danger of harmful carbon monoxide. However, if you prefer to enjoy the look of an old-fashioned fireplace with real flames, a vented or ventless wood-burning or gas fireplace is a viable option. Electric fireplaces are easier to install because they don't require gas or chimneys. Many models can be installed without building permits, extensive structural changes or disruptive installation. Some can be moved to a different location, or even brought with you if you decide to move. Electric on-wall fireplaces are offered in a variety of styles and colors. Many manufacturers provide customization options that let homeowners create an attractive and functional addition to their home. Some models come with different colors of flames with adjustable brightness settings, as well as a wide range of decorative media packages to complement the flames' colors. Other options include thermostat control, a timer, and remote-controlled operation.
