Collection: 42 Inch Electric Fireplaces

Elevate the Ambiance in Any Space With a 42-Inch Electric Fireplace

A 42” electric fireplace can be a stunning addition to any home or business. You get beautiful, super realistic flame effects and useful supplemental heat - but you don’t have to navigate venting, gas lines, or construction headaches! These units are simple and affordable.

Of all the sizes we carry at The Great Fire Company, we’ve found that a 42-inch electric fireplace works wonderfully in bedrooms, apartments, offices, finished basements, and smaller living rooms where wall space is limited but you still want a focal point that stands out. Wide enough to anchor a wall, yet slim enough to avoid crowding - and flexible enough under a TV!

As the #1 choice for a modern fireplace online, you can count on us to bring you the best brands and their most sought-after models. We’ve handpicked the manufacturers we carry, including:

• SimpliFire
• Touchstone

You’ll enjoy practical features across the collection that make day-to-day use easy: adjustable flame brightness and color, flame-only operation for year-round enjoyment, integrated heaters (typically rated around 5,000 BTUs), and remote controls for effortless adjustments.

A lot of the models we’ve added to our collection let you choose between plug-in or hardwire installation, too. You get to pick what matters more to you - convenience or a cleaner, finished look. You can choose clear crystals, acrylic ice, or realistic log sets in the media bed, too.

Frequently asked questions

Are these fireplaces plug-and-play?

Many 42” models plug into a standard outlet, which is really convenient. However, we do have some styles that can be hardwired for a more seamless, permanent installation.

Which is better, a 42” wall-mounted or freestanding fireplace?

Wall-mounted units save floor space and offer a built-in look. Freestanding models work better when wall mounting isn’t possible. In almost every case, we suggest wall-mounted units.

Where can I install my 42-inch electric fireplace?

Bedrooms, apartments, offices, living rooms, and basements - nothing is off-limits as long as the space has the right electrical requirements. Get in touch if you want more personalized advice on installing a 42-inch electric fireplace!
