You can choose from different wattage, lower wattage is for smaller rooms and higher wattage for larger rooms.
Installation is very easy you can find a bare wall to set it up at, and leave it there or you can move it to other rooms if you prefer. However you do want to keep in mind that it does put out a lot of heat and gets hot so make sure it has enough open space around it.
You can also fit it in to an old fire place area long as it has a power hook up close by. There is no need to cut into a wall or add a chimney for ventilation. There is less work and preparation involved than adding a gas fireplace or a built in wood fire place, this is why an electric fireplace is so popular. In addition you will see them in the back round of many movie stage homes.
Another reason they are so popular is due to their beauty, you can find them with or without a wooden frame. The wood frame serves the purpose of looking like a real fireplace. The wood casing usually has some type of decorative wood work.
The electric fire place has a glass window and inside the fire place appears to have the wood burning. This is light up with a light bulb inside it to give a beautiful ambiance of a real fire burning.

You will not want to leave it on high for a long time because you will over heat the main room it is in.
