Electric fireplace comes with many types and shapes. You need to select a best model according to your personal preferences, like- freestanding or wall mounting or fireplace with tv stand. Freestanding fireplaces are best option for portability. These are also cost effective and provide sufficient heat to your room. On the other hand, wall mount electric fireplace are best for people with very limited space. Because, they can be recessed into the wall. I have been using **Chazelles Fireplace’**s Multi 49 model.
