Westinghouse 60 inch electric fireplace heater

- 2-year warranty
- 1,500 W with a 62 to 82 F thermostat
- 144 flame and ember color combinations
- Alexa and Google Home compatible

Pros
- Shortest unit in this roundup at 15.75 in tall
- Alexa, Google Home and app control
- 24-hour timer and 144 color combinations
Cons
- At 5.5 in deep, it needs more room inside the wall
- Westinghouse asks that no other appliance share its 120 V, 15 A circuit
Westinghouse's 60 inch unit is the shortest in this roundup at 15.75 in tall. It's deeper, at 5.5 in, so it needs more room inside the wall, and Westinghouse says it fits a 59.06 by 15 by 6 in opening.
The 1,500 W heater has a thermostat from 62 to 82 F and a 24-hour timer. It works with Alexa and Google Home, and you can also use the Westinghouse app or the remote.
The flames offer up to 144 color combinations for flame and ember, with 5 brightness levels and 5 flame speeds. The box includes a faux log set and a camphor wood and crystal ember bed.
Westinghouse gives a 2-year warranty. It says not to share its 120 V, 15 A circuit with other appliances, and to allow at least 11.8 in of clearance from the ceiling, a mantel and anything mounted above the unit.
PuraFlame Bernice 60 inch smart linear electric fireplace
- 6 in deep, 6.3 in chamber
- Concealed heater vents with a 2 in trim
- Plug in or hard-wire
- 9 flame colors and a crackling sound
- Alexa, Google and app control
The clean-trim pick, with the heater vents hidden behind the frame. It needs more depth than the thinner units here.
Pros
- Heater vents are concealed behind a narrow trim
- Plug-in or hard-wired option
- Driftwood and crystals included
Cons
- At 6 in deep with a 6.3 in chamber, it needs the most room behind the wall
- Premium tier, so it's a bigger buy than most picks here
The PuraFlame Bernice is the clean-trim pick, with heater vents hidden behind a 2 in aluminum frame. It can be wall mounted, built into a framed wall or set free standing.
At 6 in deep, with a 6.3 in chamber, it's the deepest unit in this roundup. Measure the cavity before you pick it.
PuraFlame says the flame sits on a mirrored fuel bed, so the fire looks like it rises from the middle. It has 9 flame colors, a crackling sound you can adjust, and driftwood and crystals in the box.
Heat is 1,500 W at the top setting, with a thermostat from 60 to 84 F, and PuraFlame says the warmth reaches up to 400 sq ft. You can run it by app, by voice with Alexa or Google, or by remote.
You can plug it into a 120 V outlet or have it hard-wired. If you choose hard-wiring, have a licensed electrician do the work and follow the maker's manual.

- 60 in wide, 4.1 in deep
- Alexa and WiFi control
- 12 flame colors and 12 faux log colors
- 750 W and 1,500 W settings
- 0 to 9 hour timer
The budget pick with Alexa control. It covers the main heat and flame needs, with a 0 to 9 hour timer, without the extras of the pricier units.
Pros
- Alexa and remote control
- Budget tier
- Wall mount or recessed
Cons
- Weighs 50 lb, so plan the mounting as well as the heat
- OneBlis says to keep furniture and bedding at least 3 feet from the front
The OneBlis 60 is the budget pick in this roundup, and it adds Alexa control to a 4.1 in deep unit. It can be wall mounted or recessed, and it weighs 50 lb.
You can change the flame and the faux logs between 12 colors, and you can adjust the brightness across several levels. The timer runs from 0 to 9 hours, and the heat runs at 750 W or 1,500 W.
The thermostat goes from about 61 to 82 F. You can control the unit by remote or by voice through Alexa.
OneBlis says the heater warms a cool room but won't replace a main heat source. It also says to keep furniture, bedding and curtains at least 3 feet from the front, and away from the sides and back.
Depth and stud fit come first for a 60 inch wall
Depth decides which 60 inch unit fits your wall, so measure the cavity before you compare any other spec. The picks run from 3.5 in deep on the Tehanld 60 to 6 in on the PuraFlame Bernice 60.
How a 60 inch electric fireplace fits your stud wall
R.W.FLAME says its 60 fits 2 x 6 studs, and Silonn says recessing needs proper framing in a compatible cavity. Tehanld, EUHOMY, PuraFlame and OneBlis give no stud size, so confirm the fit with the brand before you order.
Westinghouse states an opening size of 59.06 by 15 by 6 in instead of a stud size. Measure your own opening the same way.
Recessed units need framing and a pro
Recessed units need framing, and many need a drywall cut. Follow the maker's manual for the opening, and use a licensed electrician if the unit is hard-wired or needs a new outlet.
Never cut into a load-bearing wall or a wall with wires or pipes in it. The how to install a recessed electric fireplace guide covers the basics of framing.
Which TV size pairs with a 60 inch unit?
A 60 inch unit is about 3 in wider than a 65 inch TV and about 5 in narrower than a 75 inch TV. Standard 16:9 screens put a 65 inch TV near 57 in wide and a 75 inch TV near 65 in wide.
Check the TV and the wall together
The units here stand 15.75 to 18.11 in tall, so each one forms a band across the wall under the TV. Sketch the TV, the fireplace and the outlet on paper before you order anything.
For the full steps, read how to plan a TV wall with an electric fireplace. It covers the wall, the outlet and the framing in order.
Measure the wall before you order a 60 inch unit
Write down the width, height and depth of your opening, with the depth taken at the top, middle and bottom of the cavity. The wall needs to be clear of wires and pipes, and the frame has to match the unit you pick.
Outlets, cords and power
Plug-in units need an outlet within reach of the cord, so note where the nearest outlet sits before you pick a spot. PuraFlame says the Bernice takes either a 120 V plug or hard-wiring.
Hard-wired units need a different plan, and a licensed electrician should handle that work.
How heavy are 60 inch electric fireplaces?
Stated weights run from 30.8 lb on the EUHOMY 60 to 50 lb on the OneBlis 60. The R.W.FLAME 60 is 47.7 lb and the Silonn 60 is 46 lb.
Tehanld, Westinghouse and PuraFlame give no weight, so confirm it before you plan the lift. Plan on solid framing and a helper for any of them.
How loud are 60 inch electric fireplaces?
Three of the seven give a noise figure, and they run from 40 to 45 dB. Tehanld says 40 dB, Silonn says less than 45 dB, and EUHOMY says 45 dB.
R.W.FLAME calls its 60 low noise but gives no number. Westinghouse, PuraFlame and OneBlis give none, so ask the brand if the room is a quiet one.
Warranty and support for a 60 inch unit
Westinghouse gives the longest warranty here at 2 years. Tehanld gives a 1-year limited warranty with 24-hour online service, Silonn gives 1 year, and EUHOMY gives a 1-year manufacturer warranty plus 2 years of technical support.
R.W.FLAME, PuraFlame and OneBlis don't state a warranty length, so check with the brand before you buy.
Heat settings: what 1,500 W means in a living room
Most 60 inch units here offer 750 W and 1,500 W, which warms the zone around the unit rather than the whole house. Treat it as a supplement to your main heat.
How much heat a 60 inch electric fireplace gives
1,500 W is about 5,100 BTU per hour, and it's the top setting on most units in this roundup. The Silonn 60 tops out at 1,400 W, and the 750 W setting gives a gentler heat for a smaller zone.
Makers quote room sizes such as 400 square feet, and those are their claims, not promises for your room.
At full heat, a 1,500 W unit uses 1.5 kWh for each hour. Multiply that by your own electric rate to estimate what an hour costs where you live.
For a plain explanation of whether these units give off real heat, read do electric fireplaces give off heat.
Controls, timers and flame looks
Every pick has a remote, and the Silonn 60, Westinghouse 60, PuraFlame Bernice 60 and OneBlis 60 add an app or voice control. The R.W.FLAME 60 and EUHOMY 60 add a touch screen.
Electric fireplace controls: app, voice or remote
Silonn offers app control, Westinghouse and PuraFlame work with Alexa or Google, and OneBlis works with Alexa. Those features let you set the heat and the flame before you walk in the door.
Timers run from 1 to 8 hours on the Silonn 60 and EUHOMY 60, and 0 to 9 hours on the OneBlis 60. Tehanld offers a 12-hour auto-off and Westinghouse a 24-hour timer.
Flame looks and what the bed holds
Silonn has 20 flame colors, Westinghouse and Tehanld offer up to 144 color combinations, and most others have 12 colors.
Some units pair the flame with a log set, a crystal bed or both, so the bed changes the feel as much as the color does.
PuraFlame adds a crackling sound you can adjust, and its flame sits on a mirrored fuel bed. Westinghouse ships interchangeable log and crystal ember beds, and the R.W.FLAME 60 and EUHOMY 60 both use 5 brightness levels.
Safety, TV clearance and the manual
Read both the fireplace maker's and the TV maker's heat and clearance notes before you hang a TV above or beside a 60 inch unit. The numbers differ by model, so don't borrow one unit's note for another.
Read the heat and clearance notes
Westinghouse says to allow at least 11.8 in of clearance from the ceiling, a mantel and anything mounted above the unit. OneBlis says to keep furniture and bedding at least 3 feet from the front.
Check your TV maker's heat and clearance notes too. The NFPA home fire safety pages cover general home fire safety basics.
Plug in or hard-wire
PuraFlame offers either a plug or hard-wiring. For any other unit, check whether it plugs in or is hard-wired before you plan the wall.
Use a licensed electrician for any hard-wired install, new outlet or new circuit.
Which 60 inch electric fireplace to pick
Pick the R.W.FLAME 60 if your wall takes 2 x 6 studs, or the Tehanld 60 if depth is the limit and you want a set thermostat.
Pick the Silonn 60 for app control and color choices, and the EUHOMY 60 for the lowest stated weight with a log look.
Pick the Westinghouse 60 if your opening is short or you want Alexa or Google control, and the PuraFlame Bernice 60 if the clean trim matters and your wall has the depth. Choose the OneBlis 60 if Alexa on a budget comes first.
If you're planning a narrower wall, the best 50 inch electric fireplaces roundup covers the next size down. For more wall units of every width, see the best wall mounted electric fireplaces roundup.

Frequently asked questions
Will a 60 inch electric fireplace fit under a 65 inch TV?
A 60 inch unit is about 3 in wider than a 65 inch TV, which is roughly 57 in wide, so the width works. Whether it fits your wall height depends on your room, so read both the fireplace maker's and the TV maker's heat and clearance notes first.
Which 60 inch electric fireplace is the thinnest?
The Tehanld 60 is the thinnest in this roundup at 3.5 in deep, then the R.W.FLAME 60 at 3.86 in and the Silonn 60 at 3.94 in. A thin depth helps a shallow wall, but check the stud size and the cavity before you buy.
Does a 60 inch electric fireplace heat a whole living room?
Usually not, because these units are zone heaters that warm the area near the unit. Makers quote coverage up to 400 square feet, which is their claim about room size, so treat the unit as a supplement to your main heat and not a whole-room promise.
Do I need an electrician for a 60 inch electric fireplace?
If the unit plugs in, the maker's manual covers the setup steps. Hard-wired units, new outlets and new circuits need a licensed electrician, so call one whenever the manual asks for that help, and check whether your unit plugs in or is hard-wired before you buy.
How heavy is a 60 inch electric fireplace?
Stated weights run from 30.8 lb on the EUHOMY 60 to 50 lb on the OneBlis 60, with the R.W.FLAME 60 at 47.7 lb and the Silonn 60 at 46 lb. Tehanld, Westinghouse and PuraFlame give none, so ask the brand and plan a helper for the lift.
