Inset vs wall-hung
Media wall electric fires come in two primary styles: wall-mounted and inset. Inset models such as the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are installed into walls, offering a flush finish that blends seamlessly into the walls surrounding it. Inset electric fireplaces are more expensive and require an opening already in place.
The most efficient electric media wall fires like the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Arteon 3 are wall-hung. Because they aren't set into the wall, they don't need a pre-existing opening and are comparatively inexpensive to put up. They are more adaptable than inset electric fires, with some models featuring various finishes and trims to match your decor. Wall-mounted models can still protrude from the wall and may not be suitable for all rooms. They also can hinder the circulation of air in smaller spaces, as they'll likely radiate heat upwards rather than across the space.

These modern fires have plenty of innovative features to enhance your home, such as the option of a flame-effect-only setting that saves energy and the ability to blow cool air that is perfect for hot summer evenings.

The majority of modern electric fires for media walls are affixed to the wall and can be either inset or freestanding depending on the design you choose. Inset fires are designed to be placed partially in a fireplace opening. This makes them simpler to install and are more aesthetically pleasing in your living space. Freestanding fires, such as the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville are ideal for those who do not have a fireplace recess. They can also be moved from room to room to allow for greater flexibility.
No matter what method of installation you choose, you should always place the fire near an electrical outlet to ensure that you are able to connect the device and test it prior to fitting. It is also important to place the fire away from any combustible substances, as per the regulations.
Keep in mind that most electric fires for media walls offer only a small amount of heat output and are best used as an alternative to central heating systems. They aren't suitable for heating large spaces that are open and will help to cool the chill of a room. Some models include a handy remote control with a variety of heating settings and backlighting options to match your mood and ambience.
