It is essential to look up reviews prior to purchasing a unit.
Another big distinction between freestanding and wall-mounted fireplaces has to do with the flame effects. While freestanding fireplaces are equipped with LED screens and rotisserie lighting wall-mounted models utilize mist or other advanced technologies to create smoke and flames. Dimplex, for example, offers a range of fireplaces that uses ultrasonic technology to create the illusion of a fire.
Certain wall-mounted electric fireplaces can be recessed partially into the wall. This permits them to be put in within tight areas where traditional fireplaces would not be able to be able to fit. This allows them to blend in with a variety of interior styles.

Prepare the space once you've chosen a good location for your fireplace by clearing the area, taking away furniture and making the walls. This could involve removing any existing wallpaper or decoration and locating any studs and marking them using the help of a stud finder (you'll often be required to have two people hold the fireplace to ensure it's in the right place).
The brackets for most electric fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with a template to drill holes. You can use this template to mark the spot on the wall where they'll be installed. After marking the wall's locations and then drilled the holes, you can drill them. Then install the rawl plugs. In general the heater, which is placed in front of the fireplace, and produces heat, should be at least 400mm from any combustible material such as fabric.
Once the holes are dug, you'll need mount the bracket. Certain models will require you mount the firebox onto the bracket while others will ask you to mount the fireplace on the bracket prior to attaching the screen. In any case, it's crucial that you follow the installation instructions exactly to ensure that you don't damage your new appliance. Once the fireplace is installed, plug it in and test it to make sure it's working properly.
