They can also be utilized in bedrooms where the addition of a fireplace is an affordable way to take the chill off an area without compromising privacy.

Plug-in electric fireplaces do not need to be hardwired as built-in models, they must be positioned on an area that is at the very least free of studs and able to support the weight of the fireplace. Some models include kits to make this process simpler by providing an electrical power cord that is pre-wired and an specialized mounting bracket. This kit is suitable for either drywall or concrete installation.
