They are also great for those who rent their home and can easily be removed when it's time to move. They don't leave a hole in the wall.

Most electric fireplaces that are wall-mounted can be placed into a wall recess to be flush with the wall for a sleek look or to integrate them into the recession partially to give them a bit of depth.
