Electric fireplace under TV?
Electric fireplace under TV?
Hi guys,
We just hung a wall mount TV, and I’m curious if anyone has a recommendation for an electric fireplace that one would put underneath a TV. I’m looking for something which has a couple of storage shelves or drawers, and puts out some electric heat using 120V.
Not sure who the players are that make such things. We’re looking for something which would last a long time, and are willing to put out a little extra $$ if that means getting something that will last decade+.
Thanks,

My sister did this and it has worked well for her. The fireplace heater was brought at Home Depot (120 V) for maybe $700 or so. It throws off heat and provides a nice flame.B4Xt3r wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 2:14 pm Hi guys,

Any chance you'd recognize the model?abuss368 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 11:57 amMy sister did this and it has worked well for her.

Not sure as it has been a while. If I can determine the model number, I will post that information.B4Xt3r wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 3:37 pmAny chance you'd recognize the model?abuss368 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 11:57 amMy sister did this and it has worked well for her.

Wayfair has a bunch of these. We bought this one https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/ ... k1076.html last year. Our tv sits on top. We paid $589 but it’s currently out of stock. Current price appears to be $989, inflation I guess.
Re: Electric fireplace under TV?
I think the general recommendation is not to place a TV above fireplace simply because it will cause neck problems in long term. My TV is a few inches off the floor.
Re: Electric fireplace under TV?
Best decision we’ve made regarding TVs is to wall mount them. We started at our last house about 14 years ago & today I couldn’t imagine having them anywhere else but on the wall.

Re: Electric fireplace under TV?
That’s true.
But this is an electric fireplace. It’s basically a TV stand with a space heater and sometimes some shelves. The TV won’t be as high as if it were above a real fireplace.

Does your sister like it? I was hoping to get the feedback of someone who had purchased one themselves.abuss368 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 3:39 pmNot sure as it has been a while.

Re: Electric fireplace under TV?
I have an electric fireplace TV stand that I purchased at Lowes several years ago. I really like it, especially in the winter time. It has a nice look and the TV sits on it and it has worked just fine.
Re: Electric fireplace under TV?
We're considering one too, as a fireplace is the only thing missing in our new house. Some of these are surprisingly inexpensive.

Heat is the number one enemy of electronics. Heat rises. Having an electric fireplace under a TV will shorten the life of the TV.
Re: Electric fireplace under TV?
Can't find the exact one. It has been several years ago, but I remember that some models had more realistic looking flames than others. I recommend looking at them in person, if possible.

Re: Electric fireplace under TV?
I just purchased this one for the video game area I'm making in our basement for our son.
Haven't received it yet, but I can't wait to get it set up. Both the reviews and price are excellent. I'm just hoping it radiates the heat more outward than upward so as to not overheat the TV.

Re: Electric fireplace under TV?
We installed this one last year and have been happy with it. Flames are pretty realistic, but it doesn't put out a ton of heat in the large room we have it in. We bought it from a full service fire place shop in town and paid the same price as it's listed for online.

Re: Electric fireplace under TV?
I just thought of this. When watching TV, if the fireplace is on, my husband turns off the heat because he thinks the sound of the fan interferes with the TV sound. So we often just run it with the flames and no heat. Just something to consider.
