Shop by Size

Choosing the right size ensures your mantel looks proportional in your space:

Average living rooms	50"–60" wide	Shop Medium Mantels
Large living rooms, great rooms	60"–70"+ wide	Shop Large Mantels

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an electric fireplace mantel package?

An electric fireplace mantel package is a complete, coordinated fireplace system that includes the mantel shelf, surround/cabinet, and electric firebox. Unlike buying components separately, a package ensures everything fits together properly and matches aesthetically. Most packages arrive flat-packed and assemble in 1–3 hours without professional help.

Do electric fireplace mantels produce real heat?

Yes. Every mantel package includes a built-in electric heater that produces 4,000–5,000 BTUs of real, supplemental heat—enough to warm rooms up to 400–1,000 sq. ft. depending on the model. You can also run the flame effects without heat for year-round ambiance.

How realistic do the flames look?

Today's LED flame technology creates remarkably convincing fire effects. Premium models feature adjustable flame brightness, speed, and color, plus glowing ember beds and realistic log sets. Our top-rated packages (from Dimplex, Modern Ember, and others) are often mistaken for real wood fires. Visit our Learning Center to see video demonstrations.

Do I need a chimney or venting?

No. Electric fireplace mantel packages produce no smoke, emissions, or combustion byproducts. They plug into a standard 120V household outlet and require no chimney, flue, or venting of any kind. This is what makes them so easy to install in any room.

Can I install a mantel package myself?

Absolutely. Electric fireplace mantel packages are designed for DIY assembly. Most customers complete setup in 1–3 hours using basic household tools. No electrician, contractor, or specialized skills required. Detailed instructions are included with every package.

How do I choose the right size mantel?

Consider both your wall space and room proportions. As a general rule, your mantel should be roughly 1/3 to 1/2 the width of the wall. For a 12-foot wall, a 60" mantel creates balanced proportions. Smaller rooms and bedrooms typically work best with 40"–50" packages, while great rooms can accommodate 70"+ designs.

Can I put a TV above an electric fireplace mantel?

Yes. Electric fireplaces vent heat forward or downward, making them safer than gas fireplaces for under-TV placement. Most manufacturers recommend 8–12 inches of clearance between the mantel shelf and TV. Use a tilting mount for comfortable viewing angles.

Do mantel packages require any maintenance?

Minimal. Dust the mantel and surround periodically with a soft cloth. The electric firebox may need occasional cleaning of the glass front. There's no chimney to sweep, no ash to remove, and no annual inspections required. LED bulbs typically last 50,000+ hours.
