These models are ideal in bedrooms, where adding fireplaces is a cost-effective option to warm a room and ensure privacy.

Plug-in electric fire places don't need to be hardwired, but they should be mounted on an area that can support their weight. Certain models come with kits to make this process more simple by providing a pre-wired power cord and a special mounting bracket. This kit can be used for either the installation of drywall or concrete.
