The 7 Best Electric Fireplaces to Keep You Warm All Winter

With almost 4,250 ratings and 4.7 out of 5 stars on Amazon, there's no guess as to why the R.W.FLAME Recessed and Wall Mounted Electric Fireplace is on our best electric fireplace list. Available in six widths from 30 to 60 inches, all models are under four inches deep, allowing them to lie almost flush to the wall as an insert and very close to the wall if wall-mounted. The insert features two heating modes that can comfortably heat a room of up to 400 square feet. Use the touchpad or remote control to cycle through five flame speeds, five flame brightnesses, and 12 different flame colors. And the R.W.FLAME Recessed and Wall Mounted Electric Fireplace has a built-in automatic kill switch to ensure that the insert does not overheat.

If you'd like to update your traditional fireplace with an electric one, then the PuraFlame Electric Fireplace Insert is worth a look. Available in four sizes, this electric fireplace insert keeps the traditional look of a log fireplace but replaces it with a completely vent-free, flame-free system. The "flames" of this insert are created by LED lights — choose from three flame settings with different brightnesses depending on your mood. The faux flames dance above realistic resin-made logs that sit on a grate and ember bed, looking like a real fire. You can even choose from six different "crackling" sounds! And the three inside walls of the PuraFlame Electric Fireplace Insert are even designed to look like brick, adding to the realism of this faux fireplace.
