Electric fireplaces offer the versatility to be used in any room in your home, no matter  how large or small the space available.

Some models are so versatile you can move them from room to room; others can be chosen based on the style, size or color that fits your home best, as well as where supplemental heating is needed.

Electric fireplaces complement any home at any time, whether  you’re doing a remodeling job, just sprucing up your decor or building a new home. Some models, such as log inserts, work great in existing fireplaces. Wall mounts, on the other hand, are great for smaller spaces, such as apartments or offices, and come in a variety of styles. Models like these allow you to hang your electric fireplace on the wall to save floor space.

Mantel packages are another type of electric fireplace  normally used when an existing mantel is not part of the room. They come in a variety of finishes and sizes  to match and fit into any space, and many are absolutely beautiful, with their ornate patterns and intricate details. Using a mantel package allows you to enjoy the beauty and atmosphere of an electric fireplace without needing major renovations to achieve the look you want.

Log Inserts

If you have a gas or wood-burning fireplace that is fully functional, but you’re sick of being bothered with the mess, pilot light, gas leaks or wood storage, it’s time to invest in an electric fireplace log insert. These are fully functional log packages that work great with existing fireplaces, since they can be taken directly from the box and placed into the firebox.

In addition to avoiding the mess common with traditional fireplaces, log inserts provide the same look and feel traditional models do without any of the safety issues. Also, if supplemental heating isn’t needed, you can turn off the heat on log inserts and simply enjoy the realistic flame effect. On top of all that, electric fireplace inserts are easy to install, safe to use, and easy to maintain.

Wall Mounts

For homes with more limited space, or for a more modern look, wall mounts are growing in popularity. Wall-mounted electric fireplaces offer the same quiet supplemental heating as other models, with a more eye-catching design. This is because they tend to be more modern with clean lines and finishes, including white, stainless steel, black and wood.

Wall-mounted electric fireplaces are perfect in condos, lofts, apartments or smaller homes. They can be plugged in to any electrical outlet and hung on the wall to enjoy the warmth of an electric fireplace for up to 400 square feet. Another benefit of a wall mount is that, due to its design, it can be seen from any viewing angle. This makes it most aesthetically pleasing for both you and your visitors.

Mantel Packages

Mantel packages are considered the most traditional form of electric fireplace. They offer the same look that has come with gas and wood fireplaces for years, mostly because of the mantel that comes included. Choose from a variety of wood finishes in your mantel package, including espresso, cherry, mahogany, walnut, oat, pecan, nutmeg, white, black and even stone. This makes matching your present color scheme, woodgrain or decor easy.

Mantel packages achieve the same look of a masonry fireplace without the tough installation. While installing a gas or wood-burning fireplace would be quite an undertaking, electric fireplaces do not require a chimney or venting option, making their installation much easier. Like other electric fireplace models, mantel packages can simply be taken out of the box and plugged in to an electrical outlet. You may also choose to hardwire yours if you plan to keep it in a space permanently.

These are just three types of electric fireplaces available on the market today. Whether you prefer to convert an existing fireplace with log inserts, install a wall mount for its beauty and design, or go all-out with a full mantel package, the choice is yours.

Regardless which you choose, you’ll enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, calming ambiance, clean environment and safe usage that only an electric fireplace can provide.
