Electric Wall Fireplaces Electric wall fireplaces give you the ambiance of a fire without the odors or stains that come with traditional wood burning fireplaces. They are simple to install, and can be removed from the wall after you move. If desired, some models can be hardwired to a wall cutout. Check the owner's manual for more information regarding framing and installation. Energy-Efficient A wall-mounted electric fireplace provides the look of a real wood-burning fireplace, but without the extra cost and hassle. Without vents or chimneys, these units plug into standard outlets and provide additional heat for rooms up to 400 square feet. They can be shut off when not in use, allowing you to enjoy the flickering flames all year long. Certain models come with LCD (Liquid Crystal display) flame technology, which displays images of burning flames on an LCD screen. This mimics the movement and nuances better than LEDs. Other styles feature fake log stacks and ember bed for a traditional, natural look. Pick the style that best suits your home. Typically, these fireplaces use a power consumption of 1500 watts when they are fully loaded. This is a lot less energy than the standard outlet could handle and represents only a fraction of what an average home appliance consumes. The cost of running an appliance like a fireplace is approximately $0.23/hour or 7c/day, depending on your power rate. You can cut down on your energy usage by reducing the heat or only using the light display. The efficiency of a fireplace can be determined by the power it consumes divided by the amount of heat it generates. The figure is typically listed in a format known as “kilowatt hours” or kW. It can be found on the fireplace itself or in the product specifications or description. To determine the efficiency of your fireplace's energy consumption it is also necessary to know the duration you anticipate running it each day. You can reduce your thermostat to focus on the rooms of your home that you use most often. This can lead to significant savings in energy, particularly if you turn off the heater when you are not home. To maximize the benefit of your electric fireplace, place it on a drywall wall and surround it with attractive panels made of melamine by Organized Interiors. This will create a unique fireplace wall. Realistic Flames If you'd like to experience the beauty of a real flame effect without the clutter, expense, and maintenance of a fireplace, think about a wall-mounted electric fireplace. You can choose from a variety of designs that will fit in with any design. Some models have an optional mantel that you can modify to fit your personal style, while others are designed as a flat panel that sits directly on the wall. Many models allow you to alter the colors of the flame and brightness, among other options to make them look more realistic. Most wall-mount electric fireplaces use LED lights to create a fire effect. These lights are long-lasting and very energy-efficient. They also produce less heat than traditional fireplaces and can be used with the heating function being turned on. They are a great and safe option for any room of the house. You can pick from a range of flame effects – from simple turning wheels to 3D holographic fires that flicker and move like the real thing. Some models even have crackling logs and other ambient noises to enhance the experience. MagikFlame provides the most realistic fires, but there are other models that will meet your needs. Some models have an independent heating feature that can be operated separate from the flame display, allowing you to use your electric fireplace all year long to provide both a visual and a relaxing atmosphere. The heating function is also powered by energy-efficient LEDs to ensure high efficiency and long lifespan. A linear electric fireplace that is built into the wall creates an appearance that is built-in. This type of fireplace is ideal well in condos, additions or rentals, and eliminates the necessity for chimneys or vents. Some models have a recessed mounting kit that can be set in a flush position against the wall, while others can be mounted on the wall with the use of a mount that clips to the wall and a flat back plate. Another benefit of a wall-mounted electric fireplace is that it takes up only a small amount of area on the floor. This is especially true in smaller homes where the fireplace will be the main focal feature of the room. Thermostat Control A fireplace is a great method to add warmth and ambiance to your home. Electric fireplaces don't use real flames so there is no risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. This makes them a great choice for families with young pets or children. Because they don't require a chimney you can put them anyplace. The thermostat can be used to control certain electric wall fireplaces. You can program your thermostat to turn the fireplace on when the temperature of the room reaches a specific level. Then, as soon as the heating system is activated, the fireplace will turn off again. You can also operate your electric fireplace by using the remote control. However, this kind of fireplace usually requires a clear line of view to operate the remote, so you'll need to be in the same room as it to operate it. You can adjust the unit's settings, from the heat level to the brightness of the flame. And you can even set the timer to turn the unit off at a specified time. Electric fireplaces are a lot easier to plug into than traditional gas fireplaces. They don't have to be vented, and they can be connected to a standard outlet. You can mount a television over them without having to worry about high temperatures in the wall. Since there aren't flames, electric fireplaces aren't able to produce smoke or sparks, making them an ideal option for homes with children. Electric fireplaces can be easily installed. They can be mounted on the wall and plug them into or build them into an existing or a new fireplace. You can create a more finished appearance by adding surrounds, mantels or a custom-built in. Be aware, however, that a built-in electric fire place cannot be removed unless you remove a part of the wall. If you do decide to choose an recessed model, be sure it is hardwired into the electric system. Fan-Forced Heat Electric fireplaces are able to generate heat by a fan which helps circulate air in the room to keep it warmer. The manufacturer will usually list the amount of heat produced in Btu/hour (one Btu is equal to 3.41 watts). Fireplaces And Stoves with larger heating capacities are able to warm larger rooms. The heat output can be adjusted so that the user can adjust the heater in accordance with their requirements and preferences. The majority of electric wall fireplaces have built-in fans that create circulation of the air. This allows you to maintain an ideal temperature inside without having to use the window or ceiling fan in your home. Some models are equipped with an air vent on the top that draws heated air away from the wall and up. This gives a sleeker look that fits well with modern interior design. A wall-mounted electric fire is a fantastic option since it doesn't create any mess and doesn't require real fuel. This reduces the chance of fire, and reduces the risk for harmful carbon monoxide. If you'd like to have a traditional fireplace that has an authentic flame, you can opt for a vented gas or wood-burning fireplace. Because they don't require the use of a chimney or gas, most electric fireplaces are much simpler and faster to install than traditional wood-burning and gas fireplaces. Many models can be installed without building permits, extensive structural changes or disruptive installation. Some models can be moved to a new location, or even brought with you if you move. Most manufacturers of electric on-wall fireplaces offer a range of options for customization for their products that allow homeowners to create a stylish and functional addition to their living spaces. Certain models have various flame colors with adjustable brightness settings, as well as various decorative media packages to complement the flames' colors. Other options include a thermostat, a timer, and remote control operation.
