Utilize a stud finder to locate the studs in the area, and ensure that the mounting bracket is in front of one or more studs to ensure stability. If a stud cannot be reached or isn't suitable for your freestanding fireplace, use drywall anchors to provide support.

After you've marked the position of the brackets to be mounted and drilled them, screw them into the wall, ensuring they are properly aligned with the studs. You can use studs or plastic anchors to secure each bracket. Once the mounting brackets have been put installed, lift your fireplace, then hang it from the wall bracket.

Some models feature LED lighting effects that enhance the fire and ember bed. Others include a top grille grate that conceals manual controls but can be opened to reveal pushbuttons for your preferred setting.

Electric fireplaces with plug-ins can be mounted directly on walls or built into the wall to create a built-in appearance. They are generally simpler to install than mantel fireplaces. Some units include a pedestal to allow you to put the fireplace on flat surfaces like a dresser or buffet. There is a remote control, mounting hardware, and log set. These electric fireplaces can include both flame and heat options which can be removed to create a year-round atmosphere.

These models are popular for walls that separate zones of entertainment such as living and dining rooms. These models are ideal in bedrooms, where an fireplace is a cost-effective option to warm up a room and maintain privacy.
