There are a number of different types of fireplace, and each can have their own set of small electric fireplaces you can choose from. These include:

• Electric fireplace stoves

We’ve therefore put one or two of each type of electric fireplace in this guide to help you decide which small electric fireplace is right for you.

The key features of an electric fireplace are the flame effects and the heater. Different brands will use their own flame effect technologies, along with different options for flame color and brightness.

There are also different types of heater, with infrared and ceramic versions typically being able to heat larger spaces than conventional fan heaters.

Within this guide you’ll be able to find the best small electric fireplace heater, but some electric fireplaces also drop the ability to provide heat to instead focus on bringing you the most realistic flame effects possible.
